How to use MPFwidget in Godot

[William Brown]

Hello,

I am still trying to figure out Godot, and I am definately missing something.

Right now I am making a test widget to slide on the screen when a target is hit, but nothing is happening. Could someone take a look at this and tell me what I am doning wrong?

widget_player:

    donkey_d_shot_hit:
        test:
            priority: 5000
            action: play
            slide: base1

Hey,

to make it work, i did it like this.

- IMPORTANT -> i have one file for each widget.

- I create a "name_of_widget.tscn" in the "widgets" folder, the root node is a "MPFWidget" 

- you put everything you want inside this widget

- then you load it in your MPF mode:

widget_player:

    event_play:

        name_of_widget:

            priority: XXXX (for the depth of display)

if you want to remove it:

widget_player:

    event_remove:

        name_of_widget:

            action: remove

if you want to use custom code when your widget is already loaded:

widget_player:

    event_3:

        name_of_widget:

            action: method

            method: play_an_extra_special_animation

and create a script "name_of_widget.gd" with (for exemple):

func  play_an_extra_special_animation (_settings, _kwargs):
$AnimationPlayer.play(" play_an_extra_special_animation")

Here is my mystery_mode structure:
