how to set a "nil" function button

[Tragic]

In my old code (before it all got broken by a cool content patch) if I wanted a button to have no actual clickable function and just be a readout I put click_function = 'nil'... and just had no function with that name.

Problem is that now you get an error code for trying to activate a function that dose not exist.

Is there a new way to have a button just a read out and not have a click function, maybe one that means it will now not have the red button icon on mouse over?

Currently I just have a empty function at the bottom of the script function nothing()end to fix it.. but thought there may be a better way?

You can't have no click_function currently and linking an empty dummy function like you did is the way to go.

Yeah I miss it not reporting an error, but it will be easier for people to tell when they have an error and aren't running a function, so I'll live with it haha

maybe a global flag you could put into the globalscript to disable error messages might be cool... oh and while they are at it remove the "auto save" chat spam!! hehe

It's easy enough to add

function none() end -- for dummy buttons

but it would be nice if you could just specify

click_function = ''

and it would know not to do anything on click.
