Advice : How to handle insensitive button with my code

[sculpteur]

Hi again,
Thanks to Remix i mangage to get a first working result for my inventory system.


But now I am trying really hard to find a way to handle the fonction to make a button sensitive or insensitive.
Iam not talking about hovering. The hovered button works fine. But sometime I want it to be disabeled (but not hidden) in order to use the insensitive image button (the button will be gray).



So please if someone could take a look at this and tell me :
1 - What is the syntax for using the insensitive button fonction,
2 - What's the best way to impement it in this code.
3 - The best for me will be to find a way to order my button to become sensitive/insensitive from my story progression label (in script folder, not screen folder).

Exemple :
label dialog_with_jessica:
e "blabla"
j "Did you have an apple on you ?"
---> here : make button inventory sensitive.

PS : I know this is a really specific request but I am just hoping their is a person aroud here who has some experience with this insensitive shit. So thank you in advance!


ILLUSTRATION OF THE CODE :

The following images are the result of my code right now. Its just to illustrate what we are talking about.

Image 1 : here you can see the story in progress, and a little inventory button on the right of the say window.

Image 2 : here you can see the story in progress, and the hovered image of my little inventory button when the player pass the mouse on it.

Image 3 : here you can see the story stop temporarily and display the inventory bar when the players click the inventory button.

Image 4 : this is what happens when the player hit again the inventory button on the right. This come back to the story progression.

THE CODE :

Code: Select all

image 0-0-inv_bar_simple = "gui/Inventory_bar_simple.png"
image 0-0-inv-butt-small = "gui/inventory_button.png"
image 0-0-inv-butt-small-hover = "gui/inventory_button_hover.png"
image 0-0-inv-butt-small-insensitive = "gui/inventory_button_insensitive.png"


screen say(who, what):
    style_prefix "say"

    window:
        id "window"

        if show_inventory:
            pass

        else:
            text what id "what"
            if who is not None:
                window:
                    style "namebox"
                    text who id "who"
    imagebutton:
        keysym "i"
        xpos 0.806 ypos 0.859
        insensitive "0-0-inv-butt-small-insensitive"
        idle "0-0-inv-butt-small"
        hover "0-0-inv-butt-small-hover"
        action [ToggleVariable( "show_inventory" ), Show("inventory_main")]




screen inventory_main:
    modal True
    add "gui/Inventory_bar_simple.png" xpos 0.0015 ypos 0.75
    #Here i will add all the inventory fonctionnality (displaying item in the slot, etc)
    imagebutton:
        keysym "i"
        xpos 0.806 ypos 0.859
        insensitive "0-0-inv-butt-small-insensitive"
        idle "0-0-inv-butt-small"
        hover "0-0-inv-butt-small-hover"
        action [ToggleVariable( "show_inventory" ), Hide("inventory_main")]

[Remix]

action [ ... various actions ... , SensitiveIf( len( inventory ) ) ]

or

default inv_button_sensitive = False # outside of label/screen etc
imagebutton:
....sensitive inv_button_sensitive # might work - obviously without the dots... hmmm, typing [code] would have been quicker, d'oh

[sculpteur]

In fact i was more trying to give my button a variable to be able to change his state from a label in the script file.
Because otherwise it will make me creat a second distinct button...

That mean I dont want the sensitive/insensitive state change after/following an "action" from a screen,
I want it to change after a command that I can write in a label from the script file.

And iam guessing this fonction exist for a reason but iam still wondering how to do it as simple as the hovering fonction works.

[sculpteur]

Is someone have any idea of what iam talking about ? Or maybe i just didnt understood the way "the insensitive state" is suppose to work.

[Remix]

Surely the SensitiveIf action I linked does that, just pass it a boolean variable and toggle the variable value within the script...

Code: Select all

default inv_button_sensitive = False # outside of label/screen etc

# in the button in the screen
action [ ... various actions ... , SensitiveIf( inv_button_sensitive ) ]

# script
label a:
    "..."
    $ inv_button_sensitive = True
    "..."

Oh really nice, sorry i didn't understood it that way the first time. Thank you !
