Hi,
How to toggle one TextureButton instance and untoggle the other? I've added them to a gridContainer for my Inventory.
@onready var item = preload("res://texture_button.tscn")
var inv = 3
func _ready():
for i in inv:
var itemTemp = item.instantiate()
add_child(itemTemp)BaseButton has a property called disabled which you can set to true.
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_basebutton.html#class-basebutton
I think the root of my problem is I don't know which one of the instanced buttons is clicked so I learned to add name ID to it.
But now how can I use the name ID to make that corresponding button do something?
#my failed code
@onready var item = preload("res://Slot.tscn")
var inventorySize = 3
var itemTemp
func _ready():
for i in inventorySize:
var itemTemp = item.instantiate()
add_child(itemTemp)
itemTemp.name = "itemTemp%d" % i
itemTemp.gui_input.connect(self.printt)
func printt():
for i in get_children():
if i.name == "itemTemp1": #Something like this
print(i)This could be:
itemTemp.name = "itemTemp" + str(i)But really you can set a local function on the button that responds to the gui signal.
OK I finally got it working
BUT I feel like it gotta be easier way. Here's what I did:
My child tree:
-Panel
--TextureButton
My basic steps:
-Add_child to gridContainer
-Create ID for each child
-Create function to change texture_normal.jpg based on ID
-When pressed, it first resets every child to normal texture.jpg (via a chain of 2 signals)
-Then the function to change texture_normal kicks in.
gridContainer:
extends GridContainer
@onready var item = preload("res://Slot.tscn")
@onready var _normal = preload("res://icon.jpg")
var inventorySize = 3
func _ready():
for i in inventorySize:
var itemTemp = item.instantiate()
add_child(itemTemp)
itemTemp.name = "itemTemp" + str(i)
itemTemp.gui_input.connect(self.reset_texture)
func reset_texture():
for i in get_children():
i.get_node("Icon").texture_normal = _normalTextureButton:
extends TextureButton
signal gui
@onready var _pressed = preload("res://icon1.jpg")
func _on_pressed():
emit_signal("gui")
if get_parent().name == "itemTemp0":
texture_normal = _pressed
elif get_parent().name == "itemTemp1":
texture_normal = _pressed
elif get_parent().name == "itemTemp2":
texture_normal = _pressedPanel:
extends Panel
func _ready():
$Icon.gui.connect(self.emitsig)
func emitsig():
emit_signal("gui_input")Anyone knows a better way to do this? 
ps. I use changing texture_normal.jpg since I read you can't change the button states of TextureButton(?)
Gowydot Anyone knows a better way to do this?
I do 
No need for any code at all. A button group can handle this logic for you.
Create a button and assign normal state and pressed state images. Turn on button's Toggle Mode property and assing a new ButtonGroup to Button Group property. Now duplicate this button as many times as you need. All of them will now be part of the same button group and properly toggle each other.
. I'm not sure if it can work with add_child instances. Either that or I did it wrong.
