1=image number
1st 0=the x coordinate of where the get image command is from
2nd 0= the y coodrinate " "
1st 256=the x coord of where the get image command stops
2nd 256=the y coord " "

this command grabs an area of the screen and saves it as an image.
#edit see below for a better explanation!!!


Go on, click on my signature image, you know you want to

Syntax: get image imageNo,left,top,right,bottom

imageNo is the number of the image you want to create. Each image has a separate number.
Left : left edge of the image you are grabbing (in pixels)
Top : top edge of the image you are grabbing (in pixels)
Right : right edge of the image you are grabbing (in pixels)
Bottom : bottom edge of the image you are grabbing (in pixels)

Get image grabs and image from the current bitmap, which is usually the last bitmap you created or if you didnt create one the screen itself. The top edge of a bitmap is always 0, as is the left edge, but you dont have to grab from the top or left edges. The right and bottom edges depend on the bitmap's size.

I would be unstoppable if I could just get started...

You give it yourself. An image number is the way you can always identify an image and use it whenever you need it. Usually you just increment, so you start off with 1, then 2 etc. Also take in mind that you cannot have two images with the same image number, or you'll get an error.

Cheers,

Hope I helped...
