Splash Screen

[Slimwaffle]

Was wondering if anyone could help me figure out why my Splash Screen is not printing to screen. The system output is telling me the texture file is loading but nothing displays. But yet my line of code that reads Time:Delay is executing fine. There is just no splash screen displaying.

Here is my code below;

import("Scripts/Menu.lua")
--Initialize Steamworks (optional)
Steamworks:Initialize()

--Initialize analytics (optional).  Create an account at www.gameamalytics.com to get your game keys
--[[if DEBUG==false then
    Analytics:SetKeys("GAME_KEY_xxxxxxxxx", "SECRET_KEY_xxxxxxxxx")
    Analytics:Enable()
end]]

--Set the application title
title="Outback Survival"

--Create a window
local windowstyle = 0
local winwidth
local winheight
local gfxmode = System:GetGraphicsMode(System:CountGraphicsModes()-1)
if System:GetProperty("devmode")=="1" then
    gfxmode.x = math.min(1280,gfxmode.x)
    gfxmode.y = Math:Round(gfxmode.x * 9 / 16)
    windowstyle = Window.Titlebar
else
    gfxmode.x = System:GetProperty("screenwidth",gfxmode.x)
    gfxmode.y = System:GetProperty("screenheight",gfxmode.y)
    windowstyle = Window.Fullscreen
end
window=Window:Create(title,0,0,gfxmode.x,gfxmode.y,windowstyle)

--Create the graphics context
context=Context:Create(window,0)
if context==nil then return end

-- Code For Splash Screen
Splash = {}
Splash[1] = Texture:Load("Splash Screen/Leadwerks Splash.tex")
trigger = 1
if trigger > 0 then 

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
context:DrawImage(Splash[1], 20, (context:GetHeight() - 60), 30, 30)
Time:Delay(5000)
trigger = 0
end

--Create a world
world=World:Create()
local gamemenu = BuildMenu(context)

--Load a map
    
    gamemenu:Show()

    

while window:Closed()==false do
    
    if gamemenu:Update()==false then return end
    --Handle map change
    if changemapname~=nil then
        
        --Pause the clock
        Time:Pause()
        
        --Pause garbage collection
        System:GCSuspend()        
        
        --Clear all entities
        world:Clear()
        
        --Send analytics event
        Analytics:SendProgressEvent("Complete",prevmapname)
        
        --Load the next map
        if Map:Load("Maps/"..changemapname..".map")==false then return end
        prevmapname = changemapname
        
        --Send analytics event
        Analytics:SendProgressEvent("Start",prevmapname)
        
        --Resume garbage collection
        System:GCResume()
        
        --Resume the clock
        Time:Resume()
        
        changemapname = nil
    end    
    
    if gamemenu:Hidden() then
        
        --Update the app timing
        Time:Update()
        
        --Update the world
        world:Update()
        
    end

    --Render the world
    world:Render()
        
    --Render statistics
    
    context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
    if DEBUG then
        context:SetColor(1,0,0,1)
        context:DrawText("Debug Mode",2,2)
        context:SetColor(1,1,1,1)
        context:DrawStats(2,22)
        context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)
    else
        --Toggle statistics on and off
        if (window:KeyHit(Key.F11)) then showstats = not showstats end
        if showstats then
            context:SetColor(1,1,1,1)
            context:DrawText("FPS: "..Math:Round(Time:UPS()),2,2)
            
        end
    end
    
    --Refresh the screen
    if VSyncMode==nil then VSyncMode=true end
    context:Sync(VSyncMode)
    
end

Use context:Sync() to "flip" the image drawn on a buffer over to the context... or it used to be something like that in the old days when you had gbuffers... but it still appears to work.

example:

window = Window:Create("Splash",0,0,800,600,Window.Center+Window.Titlebar)
context = Context:Create(window)
world = World:Create()
camera = Camera:Create()
camera:SetPosition(0,0,-3)
light = DirectionalLight:Create()
light:SetRotation(35,35,0)
box = Model:Box()

splash = Texture:Load("Materials/Developer/leadwerks.tex")
context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
context:DrawImage(splash,0,0,context:GetWidth(),context:GetHeight())
context:Sync(true)
Time:Delay(2000)

camera:SetClearColor(1,0.5,0)

while window:KeyDown(Key.Escape)==false do
	if window:Closed() then break end

	box:Turn(Time:GetSpeed()*0.5,Time:GetSpeed()*0.5,0)
	
	Time:Update()
	world:Update()
	world:Render()
	context:Sync(true)
end

Thank you soo much mate. This works perfectly now. Can I use this same system if I want an intro video?
