How can I do a disabled textbutton that is not clickable?

[Ryue]

I've got the following code that I'm trying to optimize in terms of usability:

Code: Select all

screen RedEyesRPGEngine_CombatChooseTurnAction(turnNumber, minimumDistanceEnemy, maximumDistanceEnemy, isEnemyInCloseCombat, isEnemyAtMaxRange):
    window:
        xanchor 0.0
        yanchor 0.0
        xpos 0.3
        ypos 0.4
        vbox:
            text "Turn: " + str(turnNumber)
            textbutton "Fight" action Return("Fight")
            if (not isEnemyInCloseCombat):
                textbutton "Advance" action Return("Advance")
            if (not isEnemyAtMaxRange):
                textbutton "Back off" action Return("BackOff")
            textbutton "Flee" action Return("Flee")

Now if:

Code: Select all

            if (not isEnemyInCloseCombat):
                textbutton "Advance" action Return("Advance")

results in true instead of false I want the Advance textbutton to show up but grayed out and to do nothing at all if it is pressed (the screen itsel is called with renpy.call_screen thus it should be as if no button had been pressed).

Is that possible? and if so how?

You need to create a custom Action subclass for your button. It should have a method called get_sensitive that returns True when the button should pressable and False otherwise. Renpy will do the rest for you; colours of active/inactive buttons can be customised somewhere in styles, but I don't remember where exactly.

Isn't it just order of if clause?

Code: Select all

textbutton "Advance":
    if something:
        action Return

[Ryue]

ok didnt think of that constellation. And how can I make a "disabled / grayed out" look on the button?

[nyaatrap]

Code: Select all

button:
    if something:
        background "image" #or style e.t.c.

It's same. If clause can control almost anything in screens.

Also note, if the button has no action, will look "disables/grayed out."

Yeah, without an action the button will be disabled. Usually I have a variable and use an if statement to either show a button that is active or a button that is disabled.

Code: Select all

if presentMode == True:
                            imagebutton:
                                idle "GUI/presentButton_idle.png" 
                                hover "GUI/presentButton_hover.png"
                                activate_sound buttonSFX 
                                action [ Jump("handle_Present") ]     
                        else: 
                            imagebutton:
                                idle im.MatrixColor( "GUI/presentButton_idle.png", im.matrix.desaturate())
                                hover im.MatrixColor( "GUI/presentButton_idle.png", im.matrix.desaturate())
                                activate_sound None
                                action None

You might find that helpful.

Tnx again and tnx for the no action comment that was just what I was looking for in terms of disabled look
