Well, what size is that image your loading. Because if it is 300x300 then you have it wrong in the get image command, as it will take from 0 to 300 making so 301 pixels, so jumping to that kind of error. Check on that...

It's better to just avoid using a bitmap and just use the "load image" command. That puts both the "load bitmap" and "get image" commands in one command.

Yes Load Image is better. You need your images to be saved as small bmp's by using the selection box, copy paste from clipboard.

To check the width and height of the bitmap just go to paint and press "ctrl+U", there are lots of other ways thought....

First of all, the load image, shouldn't (musn't?) be within the loop, as you load the image just once. As for the rest i suppose is ok, however, if your using dbpro, add a ",1" to the load image command, because within the new version of dbpro, there some flag stuff allong with the load image and other stuff as such, which may bother in pixeled images, such as your crosshair. Try that for now

Oh, im so stupid, sorry.
I'll explain first, when you load the image, you set it to be image number 1, so, if you want to use that image, you must do reference to that number (1). If you check the sprite command, the last number is supposed to be the image number. You've put 10, however in that short code, no image is pointing to number 10. Basically you must change 10 for 1....



of course that, if you later on change the image number where you setted the image when loaded/grabed (whatever), you must also change that value, if its that image you want to show...

now i see that Grog did it ok in his code.

You need to SYNC in order to see any changes made on screen.
Also the last parameter at the end of the sprite command is the image number. You loaded your crosshair as image number 1 but called image 10 in the sprite command.

Try this

Theres a command called "set image colorkey", which defines which color will be transparent. You must define this color before loading any images. Also you'll need to know the command "rgb" to define the color. Rgb needs 3 parameters: Red(0-255) , Green(0-255) , Blue(0-255)
Example of this:
rgb(0,0,0) -> black
rgb(255,255,255) -> white
rgb(255,0,0) -> red
rgb(0,255,0) -> green
rgb(0,0,255) -> blue

play around and you'll get diferent colors.

So basically, you must add the following before loading any images...

the command has attached to it the rgb command, so you won't need to write "rgb()" and so...

It's because "set image colorkey" is only available in Pro. Even if you were using Pro it's easier to just load that graphic in a drawing program and change the white to black (which is the default color for transparent).

I attached your crosshair with a black background to this message.
