updating shapenode fillcolor on touch_began

[nekosen]

Hi everybody,

I want to change the fillcolor of a shapenode when touching it. My script works for updating the text but not the shapenode fillcolor. Can you help me ?

Here is the code I have, it's working except for the fillcolor of the shapenode. Sorry the layout of the code is not optimal, I just copy/pasted.

p.s. i am starting from cards tutorial. I love python(ista) !

thanks

from scene import *
import sound
import random
import math
A = Action

class ntt(Node):
	chr_wdth = 60
	
	
	def __init__(self, txt):
		#self.color = 'black'
		
		rect_path = ui.Path.rect(0, 0, 75, 100)
		rect_path.line_width = 1
		# the bg_node is a shape node that uses the path to draw the shape
		self.ntt_shpnd = ShapeNode(rect_path, 'white', 'black')
		self.ntt_lblnd = LabelNode(txt, ('Courier New', 10))
		
		self.ntt_lblnd.color = "red"
		self.ntt_lblnd.position = (0, 0)
		# add the nodes as children of the card node
		self.add_child(self.ntt_shpnd)
		self.ntt_shpnd.add_child(self.ntt_lblnd)
		
	def point_inside(self, x, y):
		'''Check if the point x, y is within the bounding box'''
		return self.bbox.contains_point((x, y))
		
	def update(self):
		pass
		
class MyScene (Scene):
	def setup(self):
		ntt_1=ntt("hello")
		ntt_1.position= self.size/2
		self.ntts = []
		self.ntts.append(ntt_1)
		self.add_child(ntt_1)
		
	def did_change_size(self):
		pass
		
	def update(self):
		pass
		
	def touch_began(self, touch):
		x, y = touch.location
		if self.ntts[0].point_inside(x, y):
			self.ntts[0].ntt_lblnd.text = "hello back"
			#throw_1
			self.ntts[0].ntt_shpnd = ShapeNode(self.ntts[0].ntt_shpnd.path, "red","black")
			#throw_2
			self.ntts[0].ntt_shpnd.fill_color="red"
		
	def touch_moved(self, touch):

```
<your code here>
```
will format it as Python code.

What is an ntt and why should the reader of this code have to guess?
Is it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nippon_Telegraph_and_Telephone ?

[nekosen]

Hi ccc,

'ntt' is an abbrevation for 'entity' but that probably won't help you either. An entity is a node on the screen that I want to work with. In that sense it is concrete for me. It is meant to be abstract, it s not a trick of some kind to hide something. Is that okay for you ?

Anyway, the question remains.

I want to change the fillcolor of a shapenode

Why did you recreate a new shapenode, your fill_color setting is sufficient

            #throw_1
            #self.ntts[0].ntt_shpnd = ShapeNode(self.ntts[0].ntt_shpnd.path, "red","black")
            #throw_2
            self.ntts[0].ntt_shpnd.fill_color="red"

[nekosen]

Hi cvp,

As you can see I tried before on #throw 1:

self.ntts[0].ntt_shpnd = ShapeNode(self.ntts[0].ntt_shpnd.path, "red","black")

it does not work hence #throw 2

Both trials don't work.

sorry for me being not clear enough.

Thanks

[cvp]

@nekosen when I comment your throw1, and I tap the node, it becomes red, that is not what you want?

[nekosen]

Hi cvp,

I deeply apologize. Indeed, I retried as per your suggestion and now it does behave like I want! I must have done something wrong and lost track of what I was doing.

Thanks for helping me to break out of this, I was really stuck!

[cvp]

@nekosen you can also change the text color by

            self.ntts[0].ntt_lblnd.color="black"

Super,

the way is open now.

Okay and now I understand, I have to click on </> button.

Yes it works !

Thanks both of you!

@nekosen did you see the previous post about changing the labelnode text color?

[nekosen]

yes, thank you for that as well.

but I didn't see your second post : I was writing while you posted it.

[cvp]

@nekosen ok, thus happy end 🙂

[nekosen]

Yes, but you triggered the solution ! Let that be clear. (I have to wait 180seconds before I can answer, because I have no reputation - I am new here)

Everybody has been new one day. Thus welcome in this forum of this marvelous app.

[nekosen]

How can I do the in line stuff like you did with my 'I am new here' ?

and thanks for welcoming

I will check the forum instructions.

@nekosen you select/copy the text you want to reuse, you tap reply, and you type
">" followed by the copied text .

Tap quote on a post to see it with its commands, but the quote puts a second ">" in front of each line

got it, thanks!
