I tried with Image button, and It seemed to be only working with default imagebutton (no parameter).

EDIT: I have solved my problem by using code of the following mod: Pickle It Hello guys, I just started modding and to train up and get to know the environment my first goal was to mod a chest that is self sorting. I am an experienced programmer (even though i only worked with C#/Java/PL-SQL before), but I cant really get the hang of LUA and how the different files work together. So far I have read the pinned guides, but they couldnt help me. Enough chitchat here is my Problem: I have a prefab which is called "sorter". Its basically the same code as in a treasurechest. Now I want to add an button to the chests widget. The button should be called "sort" and call an action that is defined in the modmain.lua. So far so good. I followed this Thread to add an button to my prefab. But i cant get it to work. The mod itself works, the game doesnt crash, but there is no button. no matter what. I've been trying for the last few hours to produce the button, but no matter what i googled and searched in this Forum i wasnt able to find a solution. You can find my source_code in the attached ZIP. For those who are too lazy to download the zip ill add the code as quote below this post. I hope you can help me and that the description of my problem was sufficient.

I'm trying to make a button that when pressed allows me to run a function/push an event for my character. I have created and placed the button and It is working up to the point where I can run functions that affect the character. Here is the code I have. function DragonClawPostConstruct(self) local offset = 0 local width = 1 local value = 75 self.DragonClaw = self:AddChild(ImageButton("images/hud/DragonClaw.xml", "DragonClaw.tex"), self.owner) self.DragonClaw:SetScale(1,1,1) self.DragonClaw:SetPosition(-296,190,0) self.DragonClaw:Show() self.DragonClaw:SetClickable(true) width = value/100 offset = 29 - width * 29 self.DragonClaw.DragonClaw_cd = self.DragonClaw:AddChild(Image("images/hud/DragonClaw_cd.xml", "DragonClaw_cd.tex"), self.owner) self.DragonClaw.DragonClaw_cd:SetScale(width,1,1) self.DragonClaw.DragonClaw_cd:SetPosition(offset, 0, 0) self.DragonClaw.DragonClaw_cd:Show() function self.DragonClaw.DragonClaw_cd:SetValue(value) --out of 100 width = value/100 offset = 29 - width * 29 self:SetScale(width,1,1) self:SetPosition(offset, 0, 0) end self.DragonClaw:SetOnClick(function() self.DragonClaw.DragonClaw_cd:SetValue(math.random(100)) self.inst:PushEvent("DragonClawClick") end) endand in my character config I added a listener under the master_postinit inst:ListenForEvent("DragonClawClick", DragonClawClick)and then a simple function local function DragonClawClick(inst) inst.components.talker:Say("You Clicked Me!")endThe "DragonClawClick" event doesn't get recognized by my character though. I can see the value change when I click it but not the message. I eventually want to make this server friendly but first I just want to figure out how to make it work. Any help would be appreciated.

The voodoo decided to create an art thread. Yay. Keep in mind, I am merely limited to pencil and paper, and thus cannot add color, contrast, small details, and other tidbits in art. I also accept requests if one wishes for me to draw a certain picture. Please excuse me for the lack of art on the first page, but I have appeared to misplace my sketchbook, and it is late on my end. Please leave a request after the beep.
