Is there a way to hide the scene widget temporarily in LibGDX

Question

I need to hide a shortcut or image temporarily in LibGDX, so I can have part of the button either an image or text depending on the value passed, I tried this:

public void SetScore(int score) { if(score<0) { highScore.setWidth(0); lockImage.setWidth(50); } else { highScore.setText(Integer.toString(score)); highScore.validate(); lockImage.setWidth(0); } } 

and it completely failed, does anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

Assuming they are standard Scene2d widgets, just use setVisible (true) when you want to see them, and setVisible (false) when you don't.

Something like that ...

 public void SetScore(int score) { if(score<0) { highScore.setVisible(false); lockImage.setVisible(true); } else { highScore.setVisible(true); highScore.setText(Integer.toString(score)); highScore.validate(); lockImage.setVisible(false); } } 

If they occupy the same screen space, you might want to push them onto the stack.
