Inconsistent Show/Hide Events for Widgets Inside hbox

[Komisari]

I am experiencing an issue with the show/hide events of widgets, specifically instances of Blueprints_MainButton, when they are placed inside containers in a screen. The widgets outside of the hbox correctly trigger show/hide events, but those inside do not.

Also, children that has Transforms inside of CDD's doesn't trigger show/hide events when appearing onscreen. I will talk about those later.

screen blueprints_screen_intro():
    zorder 1

    default first_box = Blueprints_MainButton("blueprints",delay=1)
    default second_box = Blueprints_MainButton("gear",delay=2)
    default third_box = Blueprints_MainButton("leave",small=True,delay=3)

    add third_box at Blueprints_MainButton_Anim(third_box.delay,third_box.size)
    hbox:
        xpos 775
        ycenter .5
        spacing 27

        add first_box at Blueprints_MainButton_Anim(first_box.delay,first_box.size)
        add second_box at Blueprints_MainButton_Anim(second_box.delay,second_box.size)

Expected Behavior:

• All instances of Blueprints_MainButton, regardless of their position (inside or outside the hbox), should trigger show/hide events defined in the Blueprints_MainButton_Anim transform.

Actual Behavior:

• The third_box, placed outside the hbox, correctly triggers the show/hide events.
• first_box and second_box, placed inside the hbox, do not trigger show/hide events.
• When elements are moved outside of the hbox, they correctly trigger the events, indicating that the issue is isolated to widgets inside the hbox.
• Other events like hover and idle work as expected for all widgets, suggesting that the issue is specific to show/hide events.

Additional Context:

• Blueprints_MainButton are CDDs.
• The expected functionality is for these widgets to consistently trigger show/hide animations, irrespective of their placement in the screen's hierarchy.

Attempted Solutions:

• Swapping widgets between inside and outside of the hbox confirms that the issue is related to their placement.
• I even tried to "encapsulate" everything inside a showif True:, expecting to somehow trigger it, but only made everything inside the showif NOT trigger any show/hide events. Inside the hbox or not.
• Maybe this was CDD problem so I created a Solid() with a simple Transform inside a Fixed. The show/hide animation didn't trigger, too. But it did outside the Fixed, so this is not a hbox specifically problem.

Additional CDD problem

Children with Transforms inside a CDD correctly trigger idle/hover and other events, but it doesn't trigger show/hide when appearing on a screen or showing it.

# Rest of the code here
self.fixed = At(Button(
                fxd,
                action=self.action,
                xysize=self.size,
            ),Blueprints_MainButton_Anim(self.delay,self.size))

            renpy.redraw(self,0)


def render(self, width, height, st, at):
    render = renpy.Render(*self.size)
    render.place(self.fixed)
    return render

This was a problem I had for quite some time. I "kinda" made myself a workaround;

self.fixed = At(Button(
                fxd,
                action=self.action,
                xysize=self.size,
            ),Blueprints_MainButton_Anim(self.delay,self.size))

            renpy.redraw(self,0)
            self.appear()

        def appear(self):
            self.fixed.set_transform_event("show")

        def render(self, width, height, st, at):
            render = renpy.Render(*self.size)
            render.place(self.fixed)
            return render

Once everything is created, I draw the CDD and then set the transform event to "show" or "hide" when I have to hide it.

Going back to the children inside containers not triggering show/hide. I think that's new. I don't remember having this problem before.

I'm sorry if this submit is a mess, it's my first time doing something like this, I hope it helps.

Blueprints_MainButton isn't part of Ren'Py. Is this a game mod?

[Elckarow]

displayables inside containers don't recieve transform events (outside of those related to focus like hover, idle, etc...)

Blueprints_MainButton is just a CDD that I've made myself. But the issue is there even with other displayables, like images or Solid(), for example.
