Focused button color

[gc8 970]

Hi

I'm trying to make a button change color once it's clicked (and therefore focused) but for some reason I cannot figure the color things out.

 

Here's what I have:

 

class TradeTab: RscButton
{
 colorBackground[] = {0,0,1,1};
 colorFocused[] = {1,0,0,1};
};    

I thought setting colorFocused to red would make the button red when clicked but it just blinks between blue (colorBackground) and red.

 

is it possible to make the button simply change color (and not blink) while focused?

 

thx!

Use the on#Focus events to change the back ground colour to the same as the focused color.

onSetFocus = "_this select 0 ctrlSetBackgroundColor[ 1, 0, 0, 1 ]";
onKillFocus = "_this select 0 ctrlSetBackgroundColor[ 0, 0, 1, 1 ]";

Tried your code but I found out that ctrlSetBackgroundColor does not work with RscButton. The wiki states that. No idea what to try next?

From one of my UIs:

		class towns : RscButton
		{
			idc = idc_spawnSelection_towns;
			x = 0.2125 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
			y = 0.22 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
			w = 0.1 * safezoneW;
			h = 0.03 * safezoneH;
			text = $STR_spawnSelection_towns;
			period = 0;
			periodFocus = 0;
			periodOver = 0;
			colorFocused[] = {"(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_R', 0.13])", "(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_G', 0.54])", "(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_B', 0.21])", 1};
			colorFocusedSecondary[] = {"(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_R', 0.13])", "(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_G', 0.54])", "(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_B', 0.21])", 1};
			colorBackground2[] = {"(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_R', 0.13])", "(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_G', 0.54])", "(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_B', 0.21])", 1};
			colorBackgroundFocused[] = {"(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_R', 0.13])", "(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_G', 0.54])", "(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_B', 0.21])", 1};
			colorBackgroundActive[] = {"(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_R', 0.13])", "(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_G', 0.54])", "(profileNamespace getVariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_B', 0.21])", 1};
		};

@HazJ Thanks, I tried playing with those variables but couldn't yet figure it out.

The hover affect isn't permanent. Easy to change though. You may also want to check out:
