if you do gui.clone(prefab) it will copy only parent(prefab) node. You need to use gui.clone_tree(prefab) to copy whole prefab (including children)

for example my usage is following:

	for i, table in ipairs(rules.boosters) do
		boosters[i] = table.cost

		local node = gui.clone_tree(boost)
		grid_boost:add(node.boost)
		self.druid:new_button(node.boost, on_boost_presed, i)
		gui.set_enabled(node.boost, true)
		gui.play_flipbook(node.icon_boost, table.icon)

notice that gui.clone_tree returns table, not node itself.
for example to change text in cloned node you must do gui.set_text(node.text, "yourtext") to hide cloned node gui.set_visible(node.prefab, false)

Wouldn’t it be nice to write an easier function? @britzl

thanks @boruok

Easier how exactly? What do you suggest?

5

gui.clone(prefab) //including children

6

Not sure I understand. This is what gui.clone_tree() does isn’t it?

I tried but it doesn’t work. That’s why I opened this topic :slight_smile:

Why? Are you getting an error? Can you please share a minimal project or explain in more detail what you are trying to do?
