How can I make hover textbutton stay hovered until another textbutton is hovered over?

[mcload89]

Hi there.

I'm trying to make a text button's background stay selected when hovered, and only change when another text button is hovered over, making it the new selected button. This should continue as the user moves between text buttons.

Here's an example so it's better to understand what i'm trying to achieve. https://i.imgur.com/Qwer6V5.gif

I managed to get the background on the textbutton using "style", any ideas how to achieve above mentioned effect?

Code: Select all

screen hover_button():
    zorder 10

    imagebutton:
        idle "button_idle.png"
        hover "button_hover.png"
        selected_idle "button_selected.png"
        action Jump("label_name")

label start:
    show screen hover_button

    imagebutton:
        idle "button_idle.png"
        hover "button_hover.png"
        selected_idle "button_selected.png"
        action Jump("label_name")

label start:
    show screen hover_button

I'm sorry but this is not at all what i'm looking for.

I mean I would just use a screen variable that remembers which button is currently prominent.

Code: Select all

screen myscreen():
    default active = None
    vbox:
        textbutton "Play":
            action NullAction()
            hovered SetScreenVariable("active", 0)
            if active == 0:
                background Solid("#f0f5")
        textbutton "Options":
            action NullAction()
            hovered SetScreenVariable("active", 1)
            if active == 1:
                background Solid("#f0f5")

Thanks this seems to work great, is there a way i could make one of the buttons already "active" with the background without having to hover over it, but still hide, when hovered over a different button?

Yeah, just set the screen variable to this button's "id" so to speak when initializing it.

Code: Select all

screen myscreen():
    # make the Play button hovered by default
    default active = 0
    ...
