Creating a button with image + variable text

[mark_lenders]

Hi, renpy noob here

to avoid making multiple images for my game, I'm trying to handle buttons using a single background image and adding text to it from variables

textbutton failed me (it almost works but doesn't handle hover) as well as imagebutton (i can't add text) but I made it work with the following code

Code: Select all

fixed:
    xysize (200, 40)
    imagebutton auto "mybutton_%s.png"
    text "whatever" style "mybutton_text"

This portion of code will be repeated multiple times, so i'd like to define it as "mybutton(txt)" so in the future I will have to change the text style or the background image only once in the code

My problem is that I don't know if renpy allows this nor which syntax to use... I also couldn't find any example online
Any help will be greatly appreciated

What is wrong with just button with a background containig text?
Scratch that, what is wrong with textbutton containing several alternative backgrounds?
Page on style properties gives an example on how to use them: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_properties.html

I use imagebuttons in this way.
What you need is

Code: Select all

    hover_foreground Text(_("Your text here"))
    idle_foreground Text(_("Your text here"))

You can further customise this with something like this

Code: Select all

    hover_foreground Text(_("Your text here"), xalign=0.5, yalign=0.5, style="your style")
    idle_foreground Text(_("Your text here"), xalign=0.5, yalign=0.5, style="your style")

what's wrong with that? absolutely nothing! i just couldn't find the "hovered_background" tag with my googling

thanks!
