I'm pretty sure you posted the method you tried in the previous thread. Why is it not in this post?

Thanks! Oh dumb me, this works "dialog.test_text:focus()" Yes – either that or "gui.widget.focus(dialog.test_text)". I use dialog:set_canvas(1, { } ) To hide the label background...Any idea how to hide text_box background? Just to clarify, that doesn't hide it. It deletes it. Th...

Pretty much. Just be aware that that also includes deprecated things (which is mostly value_compat and callback).

If you mean in documentation, that would be LuaAPI/types/widget. If you mean in the source code, the relevant file is lua_widget_attributes.cpp.

I was hoping to find corresponding lua files that manipulate the widget so I could determine of its properties (select_layer(s), layer_selected, etc). Those don't exist. All core widgets are handled in C++. I don't know, but I did figure out that dialog.narration.selected_index=2 I'm not 100% sure ...

I'm not aware of any examples of it being used outside of mainline. In mainline it's used in the following windows: addon_list mp_create_game addon_manager campaign_dialog campaign_difficulty game_stats game_version mp_create_game preferences server_info story_viewer title_screen It's also used in a...

The default mode of a stacked widget is to stack its layers on top of one another. A lot of actual uses of it instead use it as a way to swap between different layers, showing only one layer at a time. I'm not sure if there's an example of its intended use in mainline. On the other hand, it's probab...

That's what [stacked_widget] is for.

I think that's correct. You could try resetting the sound source whenever a unit moves. I would expect that to restart the sound from the beginning, but maybe if you're lucky it won't.

Sounds like what you're doing is digging into the spinner's internals (it's a compound widget, which means it's composed of several smaller widges). That's definitely not the way it's supposed to work, but it's good to know that there's at least a workaround for the fact that it's not properly suppo...

Now for the float, I'd like to use a slider, and that slider's minimum and maximum values and step size aren't known when I create the node definition, and it appears they cannot be modified on the fly. My guess is that they are fixed, and I have to define them when I define(/instantiate/initialize...

The quantity (1 - aggression) is used to determine which of two attacks is better. The actual code that does the comparison is this ( harm_weight is the aforementioned aggression-based quantity): // Compare: P(we kill them) - P(they kill us). a = them_a.hp_dist[0] - us_a.hp_dist[0] * harm_weight; b ...

Apart from the case of commas on the left hand side of the =, it's based on the key whether or not a comma has any special meaning. So for example, it won't work with name in most cases.

The same goes for the range syntax – that's specific to certain places and doesn't generally work anywhere.

So it looks like you can't do this either, which is unfortunate as I have multiple objects I'd like to insert. Why would you need to? You can dump multiple objects into [modify_unit anyway, so just put the [insert_tag] directly in there (like in your second example, but with name=object ). That mak...

It seems quite logical to me. If a [lua] block returns a valid WML tag, I would expect that to have the same result as if I had typed in said tag at that location. Clearly, I'm wrong, but it's what I would expect. I'm not sure how viable that interpretation is. It would be equivalent to allowing [l...
