How do I…

Hi, I’m working on a journal UI system in GDevelop and running into an issue with visibility.

I have a JournalBox (custom object) that represents each entry. Each JournalBox has associated objects:

  • Journal_Name_Text
  • Journal_Calories_Text
  • Journal_Count
  • Journalltems (sprite)
  • Cancel button

I deleted my old logic now I can’t remember how to get things working. I’m want to hide/show children of a custom object or make them visible/invisible.

What is the actual result

Part of the custom object is hiding but not the others.

Main Events

Project files (optional)

Insert a minimal game showing your issue in a .zip or .rar.

Create a group in your object with the objects you want to hide and change their visibility to 0 or 255 (or use the hide/show events instead)

What exactly does your project do? It sounds like a list using custom objects. Is it scrollable or does the layer move.

Are you hiding the children objects at the same time you’re hiding the custom objects? Are you hiding all of the children objects in a custom object at the same time or only a few child objects?

I’m just asking bc that would be unnecessary. It would be enough to just hide the custom object.

Your last event group is using compare 2 numbers instead of the regular position condition. Is there only 1 object at a time or are the events inside a repeat for each object?

Compare 2 numbers doesn’t pick objects. It just evaluates to true or false.
