ok guys wondering if someone could guide me please.

when you get the airstrike a ticker tape effect comes onscreen saying:

6 kill streak: press 6 for airstrike.
if i wanted an image also to appear like airstike symbol what would i have to do to get it to work, and then disapear after the ticker has finished?

please

I did this to notify a player when they had all weapons and perks unlocked in my PowerClass feature:

AnnounceDone()
{
	notifyData = spawnStruct();
	notifyData.notifyText = &"DEMON_PROMOTED";
	notifyData.glowAlpha = 1;
	notifyData.glowColor = (0.2, 0.3, 0.7);
	notifyData.iconName = game["demonlogo"];
	notifyData.sound = "mp_level_up";
	notifyData.duration = 4.0;
	
	self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::notifyMessage( notifyData );
}

ok got that, but i would like to have different symbols for the different killstreak awards so.....

what i'm asking is:
would i have to add what you have kindly put inside the hardpoints.gsc file for each of the symbols or what?

ok demonseed i see what your saying but that only announces the single text for the promotion. so the text stays the same.

what i want to do is somehow have a different symbol for each of the kill streaks, such as the uav,hellicopter,airstrike,nuke.

i saw this:

streakNotify( streakVal )
{
	self endon("disconnect");

	// wait until any challenges have been processed
	self waittill( "playerKilledChallengesProcessed" );
	wait .05;
	
	notifyData = spawnStruct();
	notifyData.titleLabel = &"MP_KILLSTREAK_N";
	notifyData.titleText = streakVal;
	
	self maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::notifyMessage( notifyData );
	
	iprintln( &"RANK_KILL_STREAK_N", self, streakVal );
}

i presume this is what i'm looking for?
but what would i have to do to get it to recognise each killstreak symbol please?

would i have to do something like this?

hardpointNotify( hardpointType, streakVal )
{
	self endon("disconnect");
	
	// wait until any challenges have been processed
//	self waittill( "playerKilledChallengesProcessed" );
	wait .05;
	
	notifyData = spawnStruct();
	notifyData.titleLabel = &"MP_KILLSTREAK_N";
	notifyData.titleText = streakVal;
	notifyData.notifyText = level.hardpointHints[hardpointType];
	
	if( hardpointType != "radar_mp" )
	{
		notifyData.sound = level.hardpointInforms[hardpointType];
		notifyData.leaderSound = hardpointType;
		notifyData.iconName = game["uavlogo"];
		notifyData.duration = 4.0;
	}
	
	self maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::notifyMessage( notifyData );
}

and then just stack each killstreak award onto of each other?

or am i waaaaaaaaaay off track here in what i want to achieve?

I came up with this:

hardpointNotify( hardpointType, streakVal )
{
	self endon("disconnect");
	
	// wait until any challenges have been processed
	self waittill( "playerKilledChallengesProcessed" );
	wait .05;
	
	notifyData = spawnStruct();
	notifyData.titleLabel = &"MP_KILLSTREAK_N";
	notifyData.titleText = streakVal;
	notifyData.notifyText = level.hardpointHints[hardpointType];
	notifyData.sound = level.hardpointInforms[hardpointType];
	notifyData.leaderSound = hardpointType;
	notifyData.iconName = getImage( hardpointType );
	notifyData.duration = 4.0;
	
	self maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::notifyMessage( notifyData );
}

getImage( hardpointType )
{
	image = undefined;
	switch( hardpointType )
	{
		case "radar_mp":
			image = "uavimage";
			break;
		
		case "airstrike_mp":
			image = "airstrikeimage";
			break;
			
		case "helicopter_mp":
			image = "helicopterimage";
			break;
	}
	
	return image;
}

thanks for the reply demon i appreciate your help.

all i need to know now is what script do i need to add to this in order to position the icons?

and to finish do i put my icons in th materials folder or the images folder?

sorry for all the questions.

JackBauer writes...

the icon is positioned automatically centre screen just below the notification text.

And you have to compile materials and IWI files into your mod.ff file, and put copies of the IWI files in your mod IWD file.

gotcha thank you but i am getting this:
