tooltip problem

[thedude]

I try to change a tooltip widget (fromLolUI) so the tooltip only shows up when the cursor is over a unit or a buildpic or commands.
I changed/added this lines : 163-167; 236-238. But it still doesn't work.

I probably know enough to fix this but I don't use lolui... what specifically "doesn't work"?

[thedude]

When the cursor is over a unit the tooltip is shown but when the cursor is over a buildpic/commandbutton the tooltip is still hidden.

[Caydr]

Nevermind then, I have no idea how to fix that. Someone smarter and better-looking will help.

LolUI doesn't use standard spring tooltip system so for it to show up when you mouse over build icons you have to use the LolUI buildmenu.

I use the LolUI buildmenu.
I already tried to make it show up when the build menu is shown and it worked but I wont it to show up when the mouse is over an icon not only when the build/commandmenu is shown.

Regret can you please have a look at the file I attached once and tell me what I am doing wrong. Now I'm using the whole LolUI but it still doesn't work.

You didn't set your "a" to true when the tooltip comes from other sources than unit or feature.

Try this

Thanks it works!
The problem is the tooltip is also shown when the cursor is over trees for example, is it possible to check if the cursor is over a buildpic (or commandbutton)?
like (sadly doesn't work):

Code: Select all

if ((pointedobject == "buildpic")or(pointedobject == "command") ) then ...

Delete line 169 in the last tooltip.lua I uploaded in this thread.
