Making Tooltip Appear After Few Seconds

Does anyone knows how to make tooltip appear only after you hold mouse cursor at the textbutton for 2 seconds (example)? Is there some easy code line I'm missing or its complex thing to code?
Code: Select all
default tt = Tooltip("")
screen test():
text tt.value xsize 1200 yalign 0.500 xalign 0.500
textbutton "Tooltip Button":
hovered tt.Action("Some stuff...")
action NullAction()
label start:
show screen test
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."

You can certainly add that feature and the coding required is probably around amateur level.
You'll likely want to use the new tool tip function, the kind you're using isn't supported any more (though there are some uses for it still)
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_a ... p#tooltips
I'm unable to provide an example at the moment, but the basic idea is you have a screen that contains your tool tip and using the on show function, fade it in after two seconds.
Upon hovering a button, you show that screen and renpy takes care of the rest. I hovering will hide the screen.
Will try to post an example when able.

Oh I corrected the mistake on tooltip new method is easier to use. Yeah example of this in action would be nice thanks.
By the way I was looking at your other posts about tooltips that follow mouse cursor but it seems its outdated also so if you did it for new renpy maybe you can post link of updated version since I cant find it?

Sorry, didn't have time last night to create an example, will try again tonight.
But that's great that you checked out my other posts, it helps a lot when people search
As to being outdated, no it shouldn't be, that was put together in the latest build of Ren'Py and still works fine for me.
Is it not working for you? I can help you implement it if you'd like to try it. The principles are very similar to what I suggested earlier.
Let me know what error or issue it gives you and I'll help you take care of it when I find some time (I'm getting busier and busier the last few months, so forgive me if I can't reply in a timely fashion)

Late reply is better than no reply at all
. It is okay I work on other things while I wait for your response.
Without you and other nice people on this forum I would be stuck with my problems forever I'm grateful for your existence.
Well about mouse tooltip when I run it it is okay but when I hover over buttons nothing happens I can only see "No button selected." at the top left corner. However IF i press RIGHT mouse button while holding my mouse cursor at the button and then press right mouse button again the tooltip will appear on location I held my mouse but it will be frozen at that spot. If I repeat same thing happens tooltip stays at the place I was holding my mouse cursor last time.

Sorry about the very late reply here, my PC was in need of repair and I have been far busier than normal these past few weeks (months, really). I've dusted my laptop off and moved files around so I can test things there. I'm using Ren'Py 7.3.2.320, which is a bit outdated, but everything works nicely for me. I've updated to 7.3.5.606 just to be sure, and everything still works nicely here.
If I've re-read the thread right, you want the tooltip to appear only after the button has been hovered for two seconds? And you want to implement the mouse-following tooltip?
I've tried for hours and I can't seem to make it behave how I expect. I'm afraid I can't really help with this, do you really need the tooltip to appear seconds after hovering? Is it working as expected otherwise?

This is how i do my tooltip... I have to use a timer to keep track of mouse position, otherwise, the position of the tooltip would be delayed... This one has a delay that you can set through ATL
Code: Select all
default last_hint = "" # a placeholder for the recent tooltip
init python:
def getTooltip():
if GetTooltip():
store.last_hint = GetTooltip()
return store.last_hint
screen sample:
default position = (0, 0)
default show_tooltip = False
timer 0.02 repeat True action SetScreenVariable("position", renpy.get_mouse_pos())
vbox:
textbutton "Hover to Show Tooltip":
align (0.5, 0.0)
action NullAction()
hovered SetScreenVariable("show_tooltip", True)
unhovered SetScreenVariable("show_tooltip", False)
tooltip "FIRST BUTTON!!!"
textbutton "Hover to Show Tooltip":
align (0.5, 0.0)
action NullAction()
hovered SetScreenVariable("show_tooltip", True)
unhovered SetScreenVariable("show_tooltip", False)
tooltip "SECOND BUTTON!!!"
showif show_tooltip and GetTooltip():
use tooltip(getTooltip(), position, 1.5) # pass the text you want to display, the position of the tooltip and the delay before showing.
screen tooltip(hint, position, delay=1.5):
frame:
anchor (0.0, 0.0)
pos position
at tooltip_fade(delay)
background Solid("#353535")
text (hint if hint else ""):
color "#fff"
transform tooltip_fade(delay):
on start:
alpha 0.0
offset (15, 15)
on show:
pause delay
easein 0.5 alpha 1.0
on hide:
easeout 0.5 alpha 0.0
label start:
show screen sample
"Hover over the buttons..."
