  • One Confirmation Popup for Multiple functions

Hello, Let's say I have 2 buttons "Eat" and "Drink". I want to connect them to a popup to confirm "are you sure [yes]/[no]" then if [yes] then it executes eat() or drink() accordingly.

Thank you

  • Probably the easiest way would be to use a temporary variable that is part of the class. Like:

    # top of script
var confirm_text

# button  signal
func _on_button_pressed(a):
	if a == "but":
		confirm_text = "but"
	elif a == "but2":
		confirm_text = "but2"

# dialog signal
func _on_confirmation_dialog_confirmed():
	$Label.text = confirm_text

You could write a custom signal, like open_popup. When you create the signal, you can pass optional arguments. In your case, you probably want to use a String or Enum. String is probably the easiest, and for two options you don't have to get fancy. Then in the signal callback, you give it a variable in the function. Let's say it's called `kind'. Then you can check it.

if kind == "eat":
    eat()
elif kind == "drink:
    drink()

    Sorry I'm still lost. Consider this scenario:

    Tree:
    Control #script
    -Button #signal
    -Button2 #signal
    -ConfirmationDialog #signal
    -Label

    Script:

    extends Control

func _on_button_pressed():
	$ConfirmationDialog.visible = true
	
func _on_button_2_pressed():
	$ConfirmationDialog.visible = true

func _on_confirmation_dialog_confirmed():
	$Label.text = "Text here depends on which button pressed"

    Both Buttons will activate ConfirmationDialog. It has its own Yes/No buttons. If Yes (confirm) is pressed I would like the Label to show text depends on which button was originally pressed. How to do this?

    Both buttons should map to the same signal, but pass a String argument. This is set in the UI or in text (if you do it with code). The if statement I showed would go in _on_button_pressed, which both buttons call.

    Followed your instructions I got both buttons to change the label with this signal:

    func _on_button_pressed(a):

	if a == "but":
		$Label.text = "but"
	elif a == "but2":
		$Label.text = "but2"

    But how do I get the ConfirmationDialog to confirm before it changes the Label text?

      Probably the easiest way would be to use a temporary variable that is part of the class. Like:

      # top of script
var confirm_text

# button  signal
func _on_button_pressed(a):
	if a == "but":
		confirm_text = "but"
	elif a == "but2":
		confirm_text = "but2"

# dialog signal
func _on_confirmation_dialog_confirmed():
	$Label.text = confirm_text
