Earwigo and media properties

[+bflentje]

Anyone know if it's possible to access media properties in code? I can't seem to get Description or alt-text to work while in code.

 

Media (image) description always returns an empty or nil value, even though it has a value in the Earwigo media properties. The media object itself does pass through as the image is shown in the MessageBox function call.

 

 

function HitObstacle(points, media)
  Wherigo.MessageBox({Text='You hit obstacle ' .. media.Description .. '. You LOSE ' .. math.abs(points) .. ' points.', Media = media})
end

If your tests showed it is not possible, try another way.

 

I doubt the player will hit medias, anyway. You could try with a zone or (if you don't want to spoil the description if your zones are visible) an object.

AltText seemed to do the job. Odd that the Description property seems to me more important but not working.

Not helpful. You have no idea what events lead up to my function.

You are TOTALLY right.
