Knowing "where" would still do no harm.sdgmlj wrote: Sat Nov 02, 2024 1:12 pm Sorry, my friends. I didn't express myself clearly. My English is not good, so I can only rely on machine translation
I just want to add a 'description' to the 'shortcut' in the 'local', for example:
[item-name]--------[item-description]
[entity-name]-------[entity-description]
[shortcut-name]--------????
Thank you, what I want to know is, can only change 'name'? Because that would make the name very long and not very attractive, I would like to have a detailed explanation on the new feature I added, as it would be very long...picklock wrote: Sat Nov 02, 2024 1:26 pm Only that we are talking about the same thing. For me, these are shortcuts in my picture. And for me, the name is the description.
And you can define these as I have already described.
Thank you, I'm glad I made myself clear and you understand what I mean. And the method I want may not be feasible, I understand. Thank you again and good luckEustaceCS wrote: Sat Nov 02, 2024 2:08 pmKnowing "where" would still do no harm.sdgmlj wrote: Sat Nov 02, 2024 1:12 pm Sorry, my friends. I didn't express myself clearly.

[item-description] is being used for basic descriptions (like "Blueprint" button from screenshot above, it can be seen in base/locale/en/base.cfg).
Is expected to work well for 90% of description-added needs.
[controls-description] is used for (i) tooltips in Settings > Controls menu.

No prototype change seem to be required either, only prototype name match with entry in [controls].
More advanced things, like tooltip for "Create spidertron remote"

, are probably not exposed anywhere yet. Can't seem to find in exposed parts how it is done currently so cannot replicate it for custom keys.
Check out PrototypeBase, which is inherited by all other prototypes. What you need isn't localised_name, but localised_description!

order = "abc",

Firstly, thank you very much for helping me solve this problem. I would like to ask, is it never possible to achieve mouse hover display through scripts?Pi-C wrote: Sat Nov 02, 2024 3:38 pm No, it's not invalid!

The real problem seems to be that only localised_name will ever be shown when you hover the shortcut with your cursor. So this looks more like a feature request to implement a way to display the localised description.
There is on_gui_hover, but I'm not sure it will work with vanilla GUIs.sdgmlj wrote: Sat Nov 02, 2024 4:25 pm Firstly, thank you very much for helping me solve this problem. I would like to ask, is it never possible to achieve mouse hover display through scripts?
Thank you, my friend. Although my questions are boring, I always receive your enthusiastic responses. I am truly grateful and wish you happinessPi-C wrote: Mon Nov 04, 2024 10:28 pmThere is on_gui_hover, but I'm not sure it will work with vanilla GUIs.sdgmlj wrote: Sat Nov 02, 2024 4:25 pm Firstly, thank you very much for helping me solve this problem.
