TasToolTipBox

[Tasyen]

This will probably get a vjass port in some days.

 

[moddiemads]

I had just started trying to make something like this. Tasyen to the rescue!

 

[Tasyen]

Updated to V2 and ported to vjass)
Own Inventory items now also show the infos, for items the first skill is used (index 0).
added an option to repos default tooltip frame to default pos when TasToolTipBox is not shown.

 

[Tasyen]

Updated vjass to V3)
Improved Skill detection (can ignore ItemSkills in the command card detection)

Updated Lua to V4)
can detect peon built & Hero Learn sub menu, this does not work 100% in all cases
can manual set data for default, subMenu Built & Hero Learn
need to do it when you want to know stuff inside built or shops .
Manual data overpowers the ability detection.

uploaded map still includes Lua V3 because V4 differs quite from V3.

In the demo map only the 4 melee workers goblin shop and townhall have manual data.
goblin shop has colisions hence it will show wrong infos even when working.



not sure how to do the vjass V4 version with the data setup.

edit: Update both to V4a)
V4a AddBatch - Hero Learn assumes now fill card from top left, AddData Filters -coord abilities

vjass uses now an array and loops it to find the index of an unitcode in the system, but each dataset needs 12 slots. therefore the vjass version only supports upto 32k/12 unitcodes -> ~2.6k

 

[Antares]

--[[
function TasToolTipBox.AddData(array, unitCode, objectCode)
    make unitCode use inside array objectCode as manual data
    uses x/y coords of objectCode, therefore with colisions you get unwanted results
]]

This is quite confusing. What is array and what are the possible options? You need to list them.
"make unitCode use inside array objectCode as manual data" Please try to rephrase that sentence.

The frames for ability tooltips are working well. For the build tooltips, the names in the tooltip box seem to get clipped on many of them. I also don't quite understand the intent here. Is this working as intended? What is the use of listing the name of the object again?

For the TasToolTipBox table, you should separate configurables from non-configurables. I don't know what to with ExcludSlots = {[7] = true}, so I don't want to touch it. Same for EventCount, TimerUnit, LastAction, and TimerCount. Separate these visually from the configurables.

I noticed that when I turned off Hide0Text, the ability tooltips remained displayed when I hovered over a build button from one of the workers. Also, a small comment about what this does would be appreciated. It took me some time to get what it does.

For the Icon table, you could do a dictionary with "range", "cooldown" etc. keys or put a comment behind it which index is pointing to which info.

It would be great if the order of the items could be customized. As far as I understand it, if you want cast time displayed, you need to display all other values and you can't pick and choose. Shrinking down the tooltip box and removing holes when some of the items aren't being displayed could be a nice option for the config.

A nice system that enables the display of spell information automatically and with just a few clicks, but there appear to be a few bugs and some features are not explained well.

Awaiting Update

 

[Tasyen]

Updated to 4c added some comments to the api and setup.

I have to tell that this system is a port from my map and the whole submenu stuff is not part of the design goal for my map. They were added as Afterthought because for a general system they are likely needed.

This is quite confusing. What is array and what are the possible options? You need to list them.
"make unitCode use inside array objectCode as manual data" Please try to rephrase that sentence.

yes, bad explained will add more info. I think one should use the batch version below which has examples. In reality one copy pastes the sold Items/Units Learn field from object Editor.

The frames for ability tooltips are working well. For the build tooltips, the names in the tooltip box seem to get clipped on many of them. I also don't quite understand the intent here. Is this working as intended? What is the use of listing the name of the object again?

The names are an example and proof of concept that it also works in built menu. The text is clipped because each Icon slot only displays a limited amount of space on screen (~0.06 x-screen space) This Size limits is caused by the Size of "TasTooltipBoxInfo" which is 0.06/0.015 from fdf. one could change that in map script but I did not implement that.

For the Icon table, you could do a dictionary with "range", "cooldown" etc. keys or put a comment behind it which index is pointing to which info.

The idea is that this indexes match the indexes one uses when one writes onto the text frames inside the this.Action functions, and as user of this System one can change the action functions. With keys, i would suggest a meaning which i dont want to do.

It would be great if the order of the items could be customized. As far as I understand it, if you want cast time displayed, you need to display all other values and you can't pick and choose. Shrinking down the tooltip box and removing holes when some of the items aren't being displayed could be a nice option for the config.

One can customize the icons and the order. Thats what the this.Action functions are about one sets the displayed texts one could set the icon textures but I dont.
I prefere when the positions are static. Then the position itself has a meaning by itself and one does not need to interpret the icon. When one packs and reorganizes them one needs to learn for each ability what Slot 1, 2, ... mean. While with fixed slot indexes, the first is always MissileSpeed.

 

[Antares]

Right, it's slowly coming together for me. I think I get now what's going on with most of the options. Listen, you have a --config start and a -- config end and then there is more config stuff below it.

You could put the functions directly into the table definition, like:

--[...]
        ,FilterItemSkills = true -- true items are never in the command card in your map
        ,EnableSubMenu = true -- true creates events/timer; changing it after the Init run is not supported/recommented.        
        ,YPos = 0.17

        ,ActionSubMenuHero = function(buttonIndex, data, unit, unitCode)
            -- requires EnableSubMenu
            -- what to display inside hero skill menu        
            BlzFrameSetText(BlzGetFrameByName("TasTooltipBoxInfoText", 1), GetObjectName(data))
            return true
        end,

        --[...]

and then have all the non-configurable parts after local this = TasToolTipBox line.

On the ExcludSlots line, maybe mention that 0 is the bottom-left button.

"unitCode will use inside array, objectCode as manual data."

I still don't understand that sentence. It would really help if you used an AI to proof-read your descriptions.

In the this.Action functions, type annotations would help with making it clearer what each parameter means. I assume data is the type id? I'm unfamiliar with the GetObjectName function. Does it work with unit ids, ability ids etc.?

I know I could figure this out by digging into your code, but I'm giving you the average user experience of someone as dense as me.

What about the fact that the "Blacksmith", "Town Hall" field is hidden when you hover over the build buttons when you have Hide0Text disabled. Is that a bug?

 

[Tasyen]

Updated Lua to 4d)
moved the action functions into the config
added Emmy Annotation for the action functions
mentions that buttonIndex 0 is topLeft and 11 bottomRight, i think that is overkill as that is just command card coords.
reworded TasToolTipBox.AddData

What about the fact that the "Blacksmith", "Town Hall" field is hidden when you hover over the build buttons when you have Hide0Text disabled. Is that a bug?

The hover system does not work for disabled command buttons. Normal Gold/Mana costs are not displayed for such aswell.

 

[Antares]

mentions that buttonIndex 0 is topLeft and 11 bottomRight, i think that is overkill as that is just command card coords.

It's still worth clarifying because some people do not know that by heart or the index could start at 1 in your system because of Lua's 1-based indexing.

The hover system does not work for disabled command buttons. Normal Gold/Mana costs are not displayed for such aswell.

That's not what I'm refering to. Here is the tooltip for Town Hall with and without "Hide0Text" flag enabled.

The first info is no longer visible.

 

[Antares]

Please use the full type names or put an ---@alias somewhere in your script.

If the unitCode/abiCode variables are integers, unitId/abiId would be better, less confusing variable names. These are the names that Blizzard uses for their functions.

There is a small bug with the frame position when FixedPos = false. When you hover over one with a TasTooltipBox and move the mouse over one without a box, if you do it really fast, it doesn't adjust the position. When you do it slower, it does. Not a big deal, but maybe you can fix that.

For the vJASS version, please also make sure that the config is clearly delimited from the rest.

Other than that, looking good.

 

[Antares]

Nice system for displaying additional spell information. Very customizable.

Approved

 

[Aldeia]

Can i please ask for a small change that would allow the system to easily do the next thing.
Give any value+icon for various object descriptions. (would be very useful imo)

---

In my case - I want to make special upgrades in a forge that would require a custom resource, and I want to show that custom resource in the box) - it is just i cannot do that easily - and I can see the potential in this system to allow me to do such thing

 

[Tasyen]

The framework to do this was already mostly done, one still would need to use frame setText/Texture to do it.
In the Lua version one would register the tech/item/unit whatever that is with:
TasToolTipBox.AddData or TasToolTipBox.AddDataBatch

then inside the function ActionDefaultData one checks if data is equal to your custom object and uses BlzFrameSetText & BlzFrameSetTexture to do it

I could add a system to handle that for wanted data the custom slots displays wanted text + Icon, so that when the hovered data for example is Scroll of Speed it would give slot 1 text and wanted icon.
The setup probably would look something like this in the Lua version

SetDataDisplay('Hpal', {
[1] = {"200". iconPath}
[4] = {"100", iconPath2 }
})

I would greatly appreciate it, would a jass version be possible in this case too?

 

[Tasyen]

yes, a vjass version also can be done, the setup would look different and I need to think how I do the setup.

Because this would need 2d arrays so hashtable maybe or I use string arrays and split them into sections would limit the max amount of objects using it 32k/slots.

32k/slots are plenty IMO

 

[Tasyen]

Updated to V5)
One can now setup Text & Icon that is displayed in a wanted slot for an wanted object Editor object. Which is displayed when hovered and the Object Editor was added with AddData function.
Works only when Data of Learn, Built and Default is used and setuped for the current unit.

call TasToolTipBox_SetObjectSlot('hpea', 3, "120", "ReplaceableTextures/CommandButtons/BTNBrilliance.tga")

TasToolTipBox.SetObjectDisplay('hpea', 3, "120", "ReplaceableTextures/CommandButtons/BTNBrilliance.tga")

vjass can only hold data for 32k/InfoCount objectCodes and the slot starts with 0.
Lua slotdata starts with Index 1.

in vjass this feature is called from within the system function. While in Lua this feature is called from the callbacks.

Thank you for the update

---

I have added 200 prestige cost to research , however i have another text - can you explain why it appears? And how can is safely remove it.

---

Regarding the unit cost - is it possible to add some sort of option like a boolean to check for MimicCost, if MimicCost = True
make the icon + cost to move to coordinates after the base cost in the default tooltip and the bottom tooltip border will not be shown (MimicCost would be set for each object separately)

 

[Tasyen]

the text comes from the callbacks inside
public function ActionSubMenuHero
public function ActionSubMenuBuilt
public function ActionDefaultData

this line does it , remove it.
call BlzFrameSetText(BlzGetFrameByName("TasTooltipBoxInfoText", 1), GetObjectName(data))

It was not my goal to add the Slots into the default Tooltip. I can try to make that, it will take some time and from my view this would be limited to 3 slots.

3 slots are good enough, making such implementations would be amazing!!

I tried to remove it , but then a empty row is till maintained instead of it.

 

[Tasyen]

Updated to V6)
new Feature: Slots inside the default UI in the same row as the resource costs tooltip, works without fdf when wanted.
^^ is setuped with function SetObjectSlot when one uses a -slotIndex.
The amount of slots in the default tooltip is setuped with InTooltipInfoCount, default 3. I think more wont fit.
in vjass this value limits the amount of objects that can use this to 32k/InTooltipInfoCount.
NoFDF = true. Without fdf the custom box wont work so also set InfoCount to 0 probably.

Looks very nice and opens a lot of possibilities for the visibility clearance of custom mechanics

[Aldeia]

Amazing system – highly customizable and versatile for various implementations, such as setting custom costs for objects or adding additional descriptions when needed.

Can I ask for some additional features if possible?

• Option to set text to -4/-5 (will be useful to not have empty spaces for objects that do not have all three costs of gold/lumber/food)
• Option to tie tooltips to specific units

---

---

Also , i am not sure - either i did something wrong or it is not supported by the system, I cannot set a custom value for an item.

 

[Tasyen]

Option to tie tooltips to specific units

dont really want to, call SetObjectSlot in GetLocalPlayer block.

Also , i am not sure - either i did something wrong or it is not supported by the system, I cannot set a custom value for an item.

oh, i did not add this feature to items in inventory (only inside shop), nor auto detected spells. easy to do need to insert 1 line for each.
fine, I add the inventory thing and the autodetect spell
But i wonder, does one want to display the same thing in inventory as one wants in shop.
Edit: I guess item & spell should display the spellCode. for item the active ability

Edit: Updated to V6a)
inventory items and autodetected spells can display SetObjectSlot data of the spellCode. They only do in Reforged and in vjass when REFORGED = true

Would be nice to have it in inventory too.

But i wonder, does one want to display the same thing in inventory as one wants in shop.

Dividing them would allow for more flexibility imo.

 

[Aldeia]

So there is a small bug.

---

In the screen below, I have two units that can be trained in one building.
Only the footman is added to have 100 cost.
But if you hover fast between units, the cost will also be shown for the Peasant.
Sometimes the icon will disspear, sometimes not.

library TasToolTipBoxUserInit initializer init_function requires TasToolTipBox, Ascii
    public function init_function takes nothing returns nothing
    
call TasToolTipBox_AddDataBatch(null, 'htow', "h000")
call TasToolTipBox_SetObjectSlot('h000', -3, "100", "RenownIco2.tga")

    endfunction
endlibrary

• Option to set text to -4/-5 (will be useful to not have empty spaces for objects that do not have all three costs of gold/lumber/food)
• Option to tie tooltips (variables) to specific units (with the help of a unit Indexer if needed)

I once again plead , for something like that, por favor.

 

[Tasyen]

Updated to V6b)
Fixed that data/slots of previous hovered was shown.

Option to set text to -4/-5 (will be useful to not have empty spaces for objects that do not have all three costs of gold/lumber/food)

you can increase a global setup Variable, then you can use index -4/-5.
public integer InTooltipInfoCount = 3 // how many additional slots next to the default ResourceCost slots

But maybe you mean something different, than what I think you mean.

Option to tie tooltips to specific units

I dont wanted to do this because then I need to clear up data.
Okay, i will work on it.
Edit: I could split an array in an 3d, unit - commandButtonIndex - slotIndex setup in vjass. Would be limted to 32k/(12*SlotCount (default 11)) ~ 242 units.

Thanks for the update, I am not sure how would the specific object work but wouldn't 24 be enough? (One for each player)(Since we don't need to save data, because we can modify it at any point, we can just show it when we need it, so when a player hovers above s specific object , just call some sort of a func that only shows the tooltip we define right at that moment, and if players stops hovering, just clear the tooltip slot.

 

[Tasyen]

Updated Lua version to V7)
TasToolTipBox.SetObjectSlot supports specific items. use an item instead of objectCode.
can use TasToolTipBox.ClearObjectSlot(item) to remove stored item data when it is removed when one wants.

modified ActionItemSpell to support this above

can setup data/slots for specific units commandbuttonIndex based

TasToolTipBox.SetUnitData(unit, buttonIndex, slotIndex, text, icon)
TasToolTipBox.ClearUnitData(unit[, buttonIndex])
auto used on none hero death

modified ActionDefaultData & ActionSpell



vjass version 7 will be some other day.

Thanks for your suggestion.
One could do this, would mean you have to update it on every selection or check current unit selection. I'd prefere some other approach.

If it's not affecting the game performance a lot, could still make it this way.

Updated Lua version to V8)
fixed: Item buttons did show slots of previous hovered after switching fast between 2 inventory item buttons.

new setup ArrayUseUserData = true & upgrade for
function TasToolTipBox.SetObjectSlot(objectCode, slotIndex, text, icon)
text & icon can be string or table. As table it reads either table[item] or table[GetItemUserData(item)], depends on the setup ArrayUseUserData

function TasToolTipBox.SetUnitData(unit, buttonIndex, slotIndex, text, icon)
text & icon can be string or table. As table it reads table[unit] or table[GetUnitUserData(unit)], depends on the setup ArrayUseUserData

Using an array will auto update the value when it is changed as it reads that array every time it displays it.
Like in this gui example. At 0s for an unit and item an GUI array is used as text and Icon. Then when pressing ESC Key the values are changed and the Text & Icon will update.

• I am a bit confused by how to assign a tooltip to a specific object in the GUI that is tied to a unit - for example, a specific spell or a trained unit in the barracks.
• In the map provided example, I didn't understand what stands for the spell ID of the Blood Mage.

---

• Would be nice to have a Unit Indexer also added to the map. (after all many systems on hive that make use of it also implement it in their spell/system as a default)
• And a Jass version too please

Which updates vjass version to V7. It can now set data for specific units & items.

function TasToolTipBox_SetWidgetSlot takes widget u, integer buttonIndex, integer slotIndex, string text, string icon returns nothing
       sets custom wanted data for an unit or item for that buttonIndex.
       buttonIndex is 0 to 11 for command buttonIndexes.
       buttonIndex can be a spellCode like 'AHbz' then the buttonIndex is calced from the data.
       slotIndex like TasToolTipBox_SetObjectSlot
       for items always use buttonIndex 0
       the first use of this will use a hashtable

    function TasToolTipBox_RemoveSlot takes widget u returns nothing
        removes all SetWidgetSlot of u, u should be an item or unit
    function TasToolTipBox_RemoveWidgetSlot takes widget u, integer buttonIndex, integer slotIndex returns nothing
        removes one data entry SetWidgetSlot of u, u should be an item or unit

So there is a bug present, when hovering between a unit with assigned value and one without, it will show a green border with 0 value. (also I noticed it is only bugged if moving to specific slots (for example in the image below)

---

A custom value is assigned to a Footman, if moving to the units with the red arrows it will lead to the bug, if moving to the units with the green arrows there will be no bug shown.

• Set Unit = Barracks 0000 <gen>
• Custom script: call TasToolTipBox_SetWidgetSlot(udg_Unit, 6, -2, "60" ,"ReplaceableTextures\\CommandButtons\\BTNHelmutPurple.blp")

bug fix: when moving from a button with data to one without inside one update tick and therefore not triggering the end hovering, now will not show unwanted slots anymore.

Thanks for the fix , i have even more suggestions, but I feel like I have already asked for too much from this system

uses ui scale options.


This was done by coping the scale of ("ConsoleUIBackdrop", 0)

set scale = BlzFrameGetWidth(BlzGetFrameByName("ConsoleUIBackdrop", 0))/0.8
if scale > 0.1 then
        call BlzFrameSetScale(BlzGetFrameByName("TasTooltipBox", 0), scale) 
        call BlzFrameSetScale(BlzGetFrameByName("TasTooltipBoxInsideParent", 0), scale) 
endif
