How to Make a Icon Show A Video

[KairuKyun]

Hello I would like help on how to make an icon in my Ren'py game show a video? Any ideas?

[CupCakeComedy]

You mean a button that you can press to show a video?
And a full sized video playing in a game menu or something overlying the actual game?

[KairuKyun]

Yes Exactly.

I need a little more explanation please. Plus i want to be in game and click on an icon not a gallery. Thank you for the help though.

You could use a screen and put an imagebutton in it. Check the doc: http://renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html

I did that but when i showed the screen it would just play the video as the game opened.

Use two screens. One only with the imagebutton that opens the second that has the video.

How would I make a screen that has the image button and when i make a screen for the video each time i open the game the video plays, then i tried this still no luck though.

Code: Select all

screen vid:
     vbox xalign 0.5 yalign 0.5:

        imagemap:
            ground "locked.png"
            hotspot (207,394,300,77) action $ renpy.movie_cutscene("shuttle.ogv")

Well, I'm trying and still can't get it working.
I think this code should work, but it plays the video in every interaction (I think it's called "interaction").
It's maybe something related to "prediction" ? I'm clueless here.

Code: Select all

label start:
    show screen vid
    pause
    e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."
    e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"
    return

screen vid():
    textbutton "Video" action Show("vid2")

screen vid2():
    $ renpy.music.play("small.ogv", channel='movie')


## Things I've already tried:

# $ renpy.movie_cutscene("small.ogv")
# show screen vid nopredict
# config.predict_statements = 0
# $ renpy.stop_predict()
# renpy.stop_predict_screen("vid")
#screen vid():
#    textbutton "Video" action renpy.call_in_new_context("show_video")
#
#label show_video:
#    play movie "small.ogv"    
#    return

What if we just made a button go to a label? I dont know how I would do that though.
EDIT: Never Mind i see where you tried that but maybe we can try something else with that.
