Guides How to Implement a WoW-like Quest Hovering Icon

[El Suplantar]

El Suplantar submitted a new resource:

How to Make a WoW-like Quest Hovering Icon - A video guide explaining how to make a hovering icon.

Below are the WoW Quest Icon images that I slapped together. Download one or all three of them, it's up to you, but I do prefer the "More_Yellow" one.

Make sure you save the image(s) in the "VAM/custom" folder, so there won't be any save issues. I also recommend making a new folder in "VAM/custom" called "images" if you haven't created one already.

There may be a better way of doing this type of thing and if there is please tell me about it. But for now, this is the way I know of doing it.

Nice, I would never have the idea to use the plugins for this. I followed everything and it works but my Icon is a little bit to much on the forehead. How I can check that I clicked on the right head node?

Ok, I moved the empty atom manually and the sphere is beside the head but it works.

Azshara Look: @Denngar

Changed it to the newer icon


Can I save the Pluginpresets from the uiimage?

Nice and clear guide.
How do you move the Empty to the cursor position, that seems super-useful?

If you want to manually move the marker, you need to check Allow Possess/Grab in the menu

Yeah I know that, ty.
I mean in your example video, the UiImage "teleported" to your mouse cursors position (at ~01:12). Or is the video just edited?

Ah at 1.13 you see @El Suplantar clicking on the head node. Then it's snapping to there. (but it's not my tutorial)

I'm sorry for such a late reply, I've been busy. But is everything working how you envisioned?

That's just moving an atom to another atom's location. So, if you want to move other atoms to another atom's location; you just hit the "Select Align To From Scene" button and then click on another atom's location which are the green dots. You can also use "C" on your keyboard to cycle/highlight through atoms that are close to each other.

Yes, ty. It would be nice if I could move the whole thing to another atom or scene.

Oh, do you mean creating a 'subscene?' Have you ever created one before? If not there's a link to a comprehensive guide below ??

Subscene or clothing item. I tried the subscene with another scene but something went wrong. Can't remember where I failed. Need to try this again, ty.
