how to make a MiniWindow spawns in the middle?

[sabodden]

I have this UI:

MiniWindow
  id: mainWindow
  width: 625
  height: 160
  top: 100
  bottom: 100
  left: 100
  right: 100
  @onClose: modules.game_minimap.onMiniWindowClose()

but when i show it
it always comes on top left

how to make it always spawn in the middle of screen? on the center...

local testWindowWidth = testWindow:getWidth() / 2
local testWindowHeight = testWindow:getHeight() / 2
local pos = {x = (g_window.getWidth() / 2) - testWindowWidth, y = (g_window.getHeight() / 2) - testWindowHeight}
testWindow:setPosition(pos)

 

[sabodden]

local testWindowWidth = testWindow:getWidth() / 2
local testWindowHeight = testWindow:getHeight() / 2
local pos = {x = (g_window.getWidth() / 2) - testWindowWidth, y = (g_window.getHeight() / 2) - testWindowHeight}
testWindow:setPosition(pos)

Lol i think that is the way!!! TY

It change the position, but don't put in the center horizontal/vertical, did u know why?

Don't know why, when I printed g_window.getWidth() having "full screened" the client, it shows that height is 1440px when in fact it is 1920px. After reloading the module it works as it should and prints 1920px :l.

It's because of this line g_window.setMinimumSize({ width = 800, height = 600 }) inside client.lua (I had 1440x950 that's why it printed 1440px). Don't know why it takes minimumSize instead of actual size of window.

anchors.centerIn: parent

or

anchors.horizontalcenter: parent.horizontalcenter
anchors.verticalcenter: parent.verticalcenter

And show us how are you create a window

sad, same here, only works if i reload the modules

anchors.centerIn: parent

or

anchors.horizontalcenter: parent.horizontalcenter
anchors.verticalcenter: parent.verticalcenter

And show us how are you create a window

if i do
anchors.centerIn: parent

or

anchors.horizontalcenter: parent.horizontalcenter
anchors.verticalcenter: parent.verticalcenter

it works, put in the center, but i cant move the window and i want to be able to move the window where i want to, just want the first spawn in the center

So, show me how do you create a window, are you using g_ui.createWidget or g_ui.displayUI?

mainWindow = g_ui.displayUI('main.otui')

function init()
    mainWindow = nil
    mainButton = nil

    g_keyboard.bindKeyDown('Shift+F12', onoff)

    mainWindow = g_ui.displayUI('main.otui')

    SpawnsInCenter(mainWindow)

    mainWindow:hide()
    mainWindow:recursiveGetChildById('minimizeButton'):hide()
end

function terminate()
    g_keyboard.unbindKeyDown('Shift+F12')
    mainWindow:hide()
end

function onoff()
    if mainWindow:isVisible() then
        mainWindow:hide()
    else
        mainWindow:show()
    end
end

function SpawnsInCenter(mainWindow)
    local screen_width = mainWindow:getWidth() / 2
    local screen_height = mainWindow:getHeight() / 2
    local pos = {x = (g_window.getWidth() / 2) - screen_width, y = (g_window.getHeight() / 2) - screen_height}
    mainWindow:setPosition(pos)
end

UIWindow
  id: protected15
  anchors.centerIn: parent
  size: 971 625
  phantom: false

This is .otui code, probably you're not using UIWindow style but UIWidget

 

[sabodden]

i dont get your point...
anchors.centerIn: parent
was working before
the problem is when i use anchors i cant move the window around

 

[Oskar1121]

Because you're not using UIWindow, I guess

MiniWindow inherits UIMiniWindow which is draggable.

 

[Oskar1121]

UIWindow != UIMiniWindow

UIWindow != UIMiniWindow

Doesn't matter, they still can be moved. All the windows in left/right panels are MiniWindow.

Under mainWindow = g_ui.displayUI('main.otui') add mainWindow:breakAnchors(), now it's centered and you can move it around.
