Title: shapescript: change border of native shape
Post by: bITs.EA on January 18, 2017, 03:10:41 am

Hi

Can anyone explain why the following code isn't working? (the native shape turns red, but the border doesn't change to "dashed")

Do I need to change the function "SetLineStyle"?

Code: [Select]

shape main{
SetLineStyle("dash");
SetFillColor(255,0,0);
DrawNativeShape();
}
Grts

The DrawNativeShape draws what it says. The SetLineStyle only affects he LineTo and other drawing, but not the native shape.

It might be worth trying drawparentshape() instead.

According to the documentation, it "behaves identically to drawnativeshape() if no inherited shape script is available", but it's worth a shot.
