Having issues with hovering over an imagebutton, please help!

[MelonFudger]

I wonder if anyone could help me...I am using imagebuttons on a few items on my screen. On hover, I managed to use jump to a label and show the required text in the dialogue box, but once I unhover the dialogue sticks there and won't revert back to the original(EXAMPLE: before I hover on the button the dialogue box says "hi", once I hover on the button, it switches to "Bye" /which is great so far/ but when I unhover it stays "Bye"...how could I switch it back to "Hi") ?

Please help me out, been stuck on this for waaaay too long...I have tried a few different methods, none has helped me so far..

You can include an unhovered action as well just like the hover.

I tried but that breaks my game. It doesn't necessarily errors but freezes the game window and won't do the unhover action at all.

Here is my screen code so far:

Code: Select all

screen corridorScene():

    imagebutton:
        idle "door_idle"
        hover "door_hover"
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 1.0
        focus_mask True
        action Jump("tryDoor")
        hovered Call("doorHover")

And here is the label being called on hover:

Code: Select all

label doorHover:
    "I think there's a door behind those cobwebs."
    return

Hm... Shouldn't the idle state overlap the hover state? I would try to workaround calling another label (that being the idle state) before the return on "doorHover". I don't know exactly what you're trying to achieve, and I don't think I could solve even if I knew, I don't have the skills on imagebutton for that.

I'm not sure what are you trying to achieve here, but if all you need is to show a small message when a button is hovered in a screen, and have it go away when unhovered, you might want to try using tooltips.

If you're just trying to show some text for a brief moment hovering something, you should use tooltips like RicharDann suggested or some other way through screens, booleans etc.
