[SOLVED] Is there a way to have hovered tooltip on a text?

[Ace94]

Hey. I know tooltip can be used on imagebutton and textbutton, but what about just text?

I tried to be smart and use empty imagebutton on the spot where the text was placed in the screen, but whenever I hover over it moves the text for some reason.

That doesn't really help me. That's for dialogue and I need it in text. I need it for something like this:

Code: Select all

screen timer_screen():

    add "gui/image.png"
    modal True

    #Total played time
    $ minutes, seconds = divmod(int(persistent.runtime), 60)
    $ hours, minutes = divmod(minutes, 60)
    vbox:
        xalign 0.588 yalign 0.338
        text "Total time played: [hours]h:[minutes]m:[seconds]s " style "time_played" #<--- tooltip with style here

So, when the player hovers over "total time played + the hours,minutes and seconds" I can show a tooltip saying that the timer doesn't count time spent in menus. I also have a few imagebutton tooltips in the same screen with styles and I want the text and tooltip to be with the same style.

Hyperlinks work in text in screens.

Hyperlinks work in text in screens.

So I can't just have the tooltip appear when hover?

Use a textbutton in place of the text

Use a textbutton in place of the text

Okay, so I got this to work, but there's an issue. When I hover over the text it moves upwards and creates a duplicate underneath for some reason. Here's a pic showing what I mean:

Unhovered:


And when I hover with the mouse:


Here's the full code:

Code: Select all

        textbutton "Total time played: [hours]h:[minutes]m:[seconds]s" action NullAction() text_style "inventory_played_time_button_text" anchor (0.5,0.5) tooltip "1"
        $ tooltip = GetTooltip()

        if tooltip == "1":
            image "gui/inv_timer_tooltip.png" xpos 1000 ypos 500 anchor (0.5,0.5)

Any ideas how to fix that?

I found the problem! I was using vbox on the textbutton which made it appear twice for some reason. Removing that fixed the problem! Thanks, guys!
