Introduction

Static controls represent exactly that: static data. Static means there is NO possible user interaction. CT_STATIC is primarily used for texts, dialog backgrounds, pictures (and videos). The constant type property for these controls usually is CT_STATIC.

Default Classes

Arma 3
AddOns: Classes need to be initialised first with class SomeClass;

Missions: Since Arma 3 v2.02 one can use import SomeClass; to initialise a class (see the import keyword).

In older versions, use "Default" call BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses; and paste the result into the description.ext.


RscText

Hello world text with semi-transparent background

Most often this type of control will be used to add text to dialogs. If you want the text to change dynamically while playing the mission, you should set the idc property to a positive number, which allows usage of the ctrlSetText function. Text alignment can be controlled using the style property and the ST_* constants.

By default, this will only display a single line (and cut the overflow); use ST_MULTI if you intend to use multiple lines. This also requires setting the property lineSpacing, which indicates the relative space between lines; usually, you can set this to 1 for normal line spacing. 

class RscText
{
	deletable = 0;
	fade = 0;
	access = 0;
	type = CT_STATIC;
	idc = -1;
	colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,0};
	colorText[] = {1,1,1,1};
	text = "";
	fixedWidth = 0;
	x = 0;
	y = 0;
	h = 0.037;
	w = 0.3;
	style = ST_LEFT;
	shadow = 1;
	colorShadow[] = {0,0,0,0.5};
	font = "RobotoCondensed";
	SizeEx = GUI_TEXT_SIZE_MEDIUM;
	linespacing = 1;
	tooltipColorText[] = {1,1,1,1};
	tooltipColorBox[] = {1,1,1,1};
	tooltipColorShade[] = {0,0,0,0.65};
};

Trivia

When an RscText control with IDC 101 is added to the map, it displays the current time.

private _ctrl = findDisplay 12 ctrlCreate ["RscText", 101]; _ctrl ctrlSetPosition [0,0,1,1]; _ctrl ctrlCommit 0; _ctrl ctrlSetFontHeight 0.5;

RscLine

RscLine control with black background.

Draws a single line from top left to bottom right corner of the control. 

class RscLine : RscText
{
	idc = -1;
	style = ST_MULTI + ST_TITLE_BAR + ST_HUD_BACKGROUND;
	x = 0.17;
	y = 0.48;
	w = 0.66;
	h = 0;
	text = "";
	colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,0};
	colorText[] = {1,1,1,1};
};

RscFrame

Example of a RscFrame in the Arma 3 server browser.

Frame that outlines the control's borders. When text is set it appears on the top line to the left. 

class RscFrame
{
	type = CT_STATIC;
	idc = -1;
	deletable = 0;
	style = ST_FRAME;
	shadow = 2;
	colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,0};
	colorText[] = {1,1,1,1};
	font = "RobotoCondensed";
	sizeEx = 0.02;
	text = "";
	x = 0;
	y = 0;
	w = 0.3;
	h = 0.3;
};

RscPicture

Using specific style constants you can enhance your dialogs with pictures too. These pictures should reside in your mission folder as paa-files. Then set your style property to ST_PICTURE (to display it once) or ST_TILE_PICTURE (to tile it) and use the text property to locate the paa image you want to use, relative to your addon or mission folder (absolute paths should not be used).

Dialog control showing a picture
class RscPicture
{
	deletable = 0;
	fade = 0;
	access = 0;
	type = CT_STATIC;
	idc = -1;
	style = ST_MULTI + ST_TITLE_BAR;
	colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,0};
	colorText[] = {1,1,1,1};
	font = "TahomaB";
	sizeEx = 0;
	lineSpacing = 0;
	text = "";
	fixedWidth = 0;
	shadow = 0;
	x = 0;
	y = 0;
	w = 0.2;
	h = 0.15;
	tooltipColorText[] = {1,1,1,1};
	tooltipColorBox[] = {1,1,1,1};
	tooltipColorShade[] = {0,0,0,0.65};
};

RscPictureKeepAspect

Same as RscPicture, but keeps the image the same ratio as in the source file. 

class RscPictureKeepAspect : RscPicture
{
	style = ST_MULTI + ST_TITLE_BAR + ST_KEEP_ASPECT_RATIO;
};

RscVideo

All settings are same as for pictures, only source file must be of .OGV format. Two additional properties are available - autoplay (when 1, video starts automatically) and loops (defines how many times video will be played in loop).

For video encoding, you can use: 

class RscVideo : RscPicture
{
	autoplay = 1;
	loops = 1;
};


Other Classes

Static background

Semi-transparent background

One can also use this control type to add solid background to dialogs by simply leaving the text property empty. This way, it will look like a regular rectangle. 

class MyRedBackgroundExample
{
  /* ... same as the text example, except for */
  colorBackground[] = { 1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.8 };
  text = "";
};
