a optional text field for TouchScreenButton

[shahriarlabib000]

When trying to make a prototype for a game we often don't have all the texture for a button. so I typically set the texture to icon.svg. But if I have multiple buttons
it becomes hard to differentiate. If there was a easier way to add text to a TouchScreenButton it'll make it easier to prototype. It'll probably also help while making menus or settings ui for a game. I could use Button Node but I'll not get the multi touch functionality. I could also just add a label on top of the TouchScreenButton but it'll become tedious really quickly.

i think using label is kinda tedious if you have multiple buttons

I didn't say anything about the suggestions there, just coordinating with a related proposal

ooh,sorry

You say it is hard to differentiate because they all have the same texture... For that, using modulate is what comes to mind.

However, I'm going to suggest you pick some CC0 texture pack and use that. I'm thinking of these: https://www.kenney.nl/assets/tag:interface

but wouldn't it be even better to have a text field?

@shahriarlabib000 I suppose. I was thinking on what can you do today. On the flip side... Wouldn't it be even better to have multitouch in all Controls?

@Calinou has this been implemented officially or is it being considered being implemented? also does this mean the Button node will support multi touch?

It's a proposal, please see there for more details, the answers to your questions should be there
