Ren'Py [SOLVED]HotSpot : Hovered without Action ?

[GoldenD]

Can we have a Hovered event without any action.
I explain :

hotspot (85, 573, 169, 35) hovered myToolTip.Action("Description") # Doesn't work

hotspot (85, 573, 169, 35) action myFunction() hovered myToolTip.Action("Description")
# work Fine

And of course I just want give a description on hovered but no assign action !?

Have you tried leaving the action blank?

Keep the action statement but don't specify any action, I was able to do that when I was building a point and click navigation system.

I was using imagebuttons though:

imagebutton auto "0.01a/Nav/hotel_%s.png" xpos 610 ypos 620 focus_mask True action

Nevermind, I tried again and is not working anymore...

It's ok.
I do like this

hotspot (85, 573, 169, 35) action NullAction() hovered myToolTip.Action("Description")
.../...
hotspot (85, 573, 169, 35) action NullAction() hovered myToolTip.Action("Description")
.../...

GoldenD read the documentation

You must be registered to see the links

you use the result of a function as hovered action.
but an action has to be either a function (and not the return value) without arguments, a screen action object or a list of it.
if you have to pass arguments, create your Action object

9thCrux to have a button do nothing but keep it responsive to events use the NullAction screen action

I've read this documentation and I think am sure the following code is correct and does what I want :

hotspot (85, 573, 169, 35) action NullAction() tooltip "Description"
.../...
# or for textbutton
textbutton "{b}" + findWeaponName(Hero.weapons[0]) + "{/b}"   xpos 815    ypos 940:
            action NullAction()
            tooltip "Description"
.../...

For me it seems good in running code and correct with respect to the documentation.

 

[the66]

the use of NullAction() isn't nitpicking.
try the code

screen actiontest():
    vbox:
        align (.5, .5)

        textbutton "TEST"
        textbutton "TEST" action
        textbutton "TEST" action None
        textbutton "TEST" action NullAction()
    
label start:
    call screen actiontest
    return

and see the differences.

It's the opposite. The hovered property need a sensitive button to works. And the NullAction screen action is the only way to have a sensitive button that will have no effective effects.
