Imagebutton ATL Not Working With Screen Action

[The_Sauce]

Just asking a question into the void to see if its a glitch, my lack of advanced programming skill, or if I'm going crazy.

I have a transform setup to make the button expand when hovered and shrinks when idle:

EXAMPLE:

Code: Select all

transform expand:
    on hover:
        linear 0.12 zoom 2.0
    on idle:
        linear 0.05 zoom 1.0

screen button_1a:
 
    imagebutton at expand:
        idle "imageA"
        hover "imageB"
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5
        action action [ SetVariable("variable", n) ]

But if it has a SetVariable action it doesn't do the transform, I've tested with Jump, Call, Show actions and works as intended, just the SetVariable action specifically.

I'm just wondering if I'm missing something or, if I can't do that specifically, just a thought though, if not I'll just work around it.

Thank You,
The Sauce

Hi, The_Sauce,

The transform should work with SetVariable. The transform should not work if you have action None. Also, if the variable is already equals n it can be considered insensitive and transform won't work.

Hope, it answers your question.

Hey _ticlock_ and Thank you for the response, you are a big help,

I tested it and yes you are right about it being insensitive because the variable is the same as the action to change it.
If I may ask, how do you make a button sensitive (sorry I don't know the correct terminology) so it does the transform animation
when it is the same as the variable it is changing. If I'm able to, if not, you've helped me enough with your response and you are a life saver.

Thank You and Happy New Year,
The Sauce

The_Sauce,
EDIT:
Check philat answer why transform didn't work and how to fix it.

For example, change transform:

Code: Select all

transform expand:
    on hover:
        linear 0.12 zoom 2.0
    on selected_hover:
        linear 0.12 zoom 2.0
    on idle:
        linear 0.05 zoom 1.0
    on selected_idle:
        linear 0.05 zoom 1.0

Or if it doesn't conflict with your plan, you can make it unselected:

Code: Select all

screen button_1a:
 
    imagebutton at expand:
        idle "imageA"
        hover "imageB"
        selected False
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5
        action[ SetVariable("variable", n) ]

PS: Happy New Year!!!

Hey _ticlock_ Thank you,

I followed the link but forgot to reply and yeah this has given me more options that I thought were possible,
fixed everything right up, thanks again for the help
