CreateImage

Parameters

file	string	The path to the image. The image itself should have its border alpha-ed out completely. If an invalid path is specified CreateImage returns image(-1).
sizeX	real	The x-dimensions of the image.
sizeY	real	The y-dimensions of the image.
sizeZ	real	The z-dimensions of the image.
posX	real	The x-cooridnate of where to create the image. This is the bottom left corner of the image.
posY	real	The y-cooridnate of where to create the image. This is the bottom left corner of the image.
posZ	real	The z-cooridnate of where to create the image.
originX	real	Moves the origin (bottom left corner) of the image from posX in negative X-direction.
originY	real	Moves the origin (bottom left corner) of the image from posY in negative Y-direction.
originZ	real	Moves the origin (bottom left corner) of the image from posZ in negative Z-direction.
imageType	integer	Working values range from 1 to 4 (4 and 1 included). Using 0 causes CreateImage to return image(-1). Every other value will simply cause WC3 to not display the image. imageTypes also influence the order in which images are drawn above one another: Value Name Description 1 Selection Drawn above all other imageTypes. 2 Indicator Drawn above imageType 4, but below 1 and 3. 3 Occlusion Mask Drawn above imageType 4 and 2 and below imageType 1. 4 Ubersplat Drawn below every other type. Images of this type are additionally affected by time of day and the fog of war (only for tinting). Multiple images with the same type are drawn in their order of creation, meaning that the image created first is drawn below the image created after.
