custom Displayable: how to add children in Screen language

[PasswordIsntHunter2]

I've read the example here on how to make a creator-defined Displayable. The example gives the Displayable an image child passed in as an argument:

Code: Select all

screen alpha_magic:
    add Appearing("logo.png", 100, 200):
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5

label start:
    show screen alpha_magic

    "Can you find the logo?"

    return

How do I change the Displayable's definition so I can add children in a block statement, the way Screen language normally does:

Code: Select all

screen alpha_magic:
    add Appearing(100, 200):
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5
        vbox:
            add "logo.png"
            add "logo2.png"
            /// buttons and things

label start:
    show screen alpha_magic

    "Can you find the logo?"

    return

In practice, I'll be adding a vbox with its own children defined using a for loop from the game's Python vars, so it's not easily defined outside of Screen language that I know of. How do I do this?

What you want to do, you can't even do in screen language.

A custom displayable is just that, a displayable, like an image. You can't give an image a vbox...so you can't give a custom displayable a vbox. If you just want a screen to fade in...call the screen with an ATL transition. You don't need a custom displayable for that.
