[SOLVED] screen: use Vbox/displayable as imagebutton foreground

[sandpie]

Hi I am trying to understand how to setup a vbox as a foreground element of an imagebutton inside a screen. Renpy 8.1.3

I found that I could use a Vbox like this:

Code: Select all

	$my_vbox = VBox(image, image2)
	imagebutton auto "images/stuff/button_%s.png" foreground  my_vbox  action

It works well using two images, but I'd like to make image2 a text element:
how could I tell it to treat an argument as an image or a text (or I guess as any other displayable supported by vbox?)

Another option I tried was to init my displayable as something, but then how I tell renpy that it should be hidden (not added to scene) unless it is used as the foreground element it was meant to be?

Code: Select all

                vbox as my_vbox:
                    add image
                    text "the name"
                    
		imagebutton auto "images/stuff/button_%s.png" foreground  my_vbox  action
		
		#doing like this will add my_vbox twice because I am adding 2 children

Thank you

Use the Text displayable.

Code: Select all

$my_vbox = VBox(image, Text("Sample Text"))

More can be found at the Displayables section of the docs.
