Image button stay on hover

[MisterHarold]

I have an imagebutton that changes while hovered over by mouse cursor. When I remove the mouse cursor it changes back to idle. How can I make the imagebutton stay on hover after hovering my cursor over it?

Code: Select all

imagebutton:
	idle "btn1.png"
	hover "btn2.png"

It's how button states work. I don't know what you're trying to achieve here but maybe you can use a variable then set it using the hovered action then use the variable as the idle image.

Code: Select all

screen something():
  default idle_image = "btn1.png"
  imagebutton:
    action NullAction() # keeps the button hoverable
    hovered SetScreenVariable("idle_image", "btn2.png")
    idle idle_image
    hover "btn2.png"

this should probably keep the image in hover state forever unless you set the idle_image into something again.

Hi, this is the way i usually do imagebuttons, what i see you are missing is the "unhovered" part, that can be either the variable, or your base image.

Code: Select all

unhovered SetVariable("hovered_door_variable", False)

and heres the full thing

Code: Select all

imagebutton:
       idle "/door.png" action Jump("label_to_fill") hovered SetVariable("hovered_door_variable", True) unhovered SetVariable("hovered_door_variable", False) focus_mask True

    	if hovered_door_variable:
       		add "/hovered_door.png"

default hovered_door_variable = False
