New tooltip class and imagebuttons

[Bruni Multimedia]

Ren'Py documentation has an example of the new Tooltip class recently introduced with a textbutton.

I tried to do the same with imagebuttons but it doesn't work (nor does it give any error).

Does the new class work with imagebuttons?

Working fine for me, maybe a bug in most recent release? I'm still using stable 6.99.14.1.

Code: Select all

screen tooltip_test():
    
    frame:
        xalign .5 yalign .5
        has vbox

        imagebutton auto "gui/tbutton_%s.png":
            action Return()
            tooltip "Testing imagebutton."

        textbutton "Test":  
            action Return()
            tooltip "Testing textbutton"

    $ tt = GetTooltip() #I've noticed this variable can't be declared with default, is this intended?

    if tt:
        text "[tt]"

You can still use the old tooltip way. I prefer it myself, its easier to understand.

You're right, but I was trying to simplify the coding and the new way looks like much smoother... I'll try the solution above and see if it works...

Ok, it seems to work.

$ tt = GetTooltip() #I've noticed this variable can't be declared with default, is this intended?

According to changelog we should be able to default it though:

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/changelog.html

Code: Select all

default tt = Tooltip("No button selected.")

textbutton "One.":
    action Return(1)
    hovered tt.Action("The loneliest number.")

text tt.value

I see now, I was trying to default it inside the screen, as a screen variable, my bad. Thanks!

One advantage the old tooltip way has is that you can have different elements activate different tooltips, or even have one element activate several tooltips at once. With the new way, you have to crunch all tooltips into one comprehensive string and then parse it.
