Issue with accesing instance member from this scope is not yet implemented.

I am attempting to make a custom UI in a Verse-Coded device. I am struggling with trying to add an image texture to a texture_block DefaultImage variable.

The editor gives me the error: “Accesing instance member from this scope is not yet implemented.”

I added a “tag” to some modules, which fixed the Texture variable holding reference to the image texture in the Content Browser, however, whenever I try to implement it it just does not seem to accept it.

I’ll leave the code segment below:

custom_ui := class:

    NewTexture<protected> : texture = Widgets.Images.T_Robbery_MoneyBill_Bg

    var MainCanvas<private>:canvas = canvas{}
    var NewImage<private>:texture_block = texture_block {DefaultImage := NewTexture, DefaultDesiredSize := vector2{X:=300.0, Y:=170.0}}

Try creating a new method, for example InitUI, and move the initialization of the NewImage variable there

custom_ui := class:

    NewTexture<protected> : texture = Widgets.Images.T_Robbery_MoneyBill_Bg

    var MainCanvas<private>:canvas = canvas{}
 
    InitUI():void=
          var NewImage<private>:texture_block = texture_block {DefaultImage := NewTexture, DefaultDesiredSize := vector2{X:=300.0, Y:=170.0}}

I have been building my UIs in some kind of fashion like this. Keeping references to potential widgets at the top initialized as false. Then, I initialize the root canvas and save references I need later in nested code blocks. There is probably a better way.

custom_ui := class:

    NewTexture<protected> : texture = Widgets.Images.T_Robbery_MoneyBill_Bg

    var MaybeCanvas<private>: ?canvas = false
    var MaybeNewImage<private>: ?texture_block = false
 
    InitializeCanvas<public>():void=
          if (not MaybeCanvas?):
               set MaybeCanvas = option:
                   canvas:
                       Slots := array:
                           canvas_slot:
                               Widget := block:

                                   # Block of code to instantiate New Image
                                   NewImage := texture_block: 
                                        DefaultImage := NewTexture
                                        DefaultDesiredSize := vector2:
                                            X:=300.0
                                            Y:=170.0
                                   set MaybeNewImage = option{NewImage}
                                   NewImage # Returns this texture block from the code block
