What's the 'new' version of ui.add()?

[Devon Andersson]

I have a custom tooltip build with renpy.displayable that follows the mousecuror.
In this thread ...
viewtopic.php?t=19572#p253634
... I've seen this similar code:

Code: Select all

init python:
    class MouseTooltip(renpy.Displayable):
	# long and irrelevant class code ...

    def MouseEvent():
        ui.add(mousetooltip)
    config.overlay_functions.append(MouseEvent)

define mousetooltip = MouseTooltip()

I'd like to add the tooltip on every screen automatically. Since ui is considered outdated, what's the replacement for the ui.add()-line?

[PyTom]

It's screens. Screens replace ui functions and overlays.

[Devon Andersson]

I see. So I ditched the MouseEvent-function for ...

Code: Select all

screen s_mousetooltip():
    zorder 110
    add mousetooltip

... and added "show screen s_mousetooltip" in my after_load-label
That works.
