button jumps to where I want but hotspot doesn't. [solved]

[namastaii]

It's strange because if I choose to use a button to jump to a scene or call in a screen, it has no problem doing so. But if I'm using a hotspot action to jump or call something, it just returns to the previous scene no matter what.. Is there something I'm missing?

Code: Select all

hotspot (37, 685, 285, 50) action Jump("this_label")

or

Code: Select all

hotspot (37, 685, 285, 50) action ui.callsinnewcontext("this_screen_label")

Neither of these are working for me. I'm not sure why..

What does the target label look like?

Okay so the label used to jump straight to the screen (or that's what I wanted it to do anyway) but now I added a transition because I want one anyway and I was hoping it'd fix the problem too somehow but it didn't. Let me first just say that for whatever reason, this specific screen and the hotspots are being kind of weird. They aren't overlapping or anything but I mean, I had some of the hotspots working to where I could hover and click them and now only like one hotspot remains clickable haha I have no idea what I could have done, it just happened instantly with each hotspot every time. I guess I'll just show you the process in order.

Code: Select all

screen myface_home:
    
    
    imagemap:
        alpha False
        cache False
        ground "computer/myface/myface_home.png"
        hover "computer/myface/myface_home_hover.png"
        
        hotspot (37, 210, 274, 280) action Jump("testing_screen") #ignore this
        
        
        
        hotspot (37, 623, 285, 50) action Jump("testing_screen") activate_sound "sounds/click1.mp3" #ignore this
        hotspot (37, 685, 285, 50) action Jump("myface_logout_label") activate_sound "sounds/click1.mp3" #this is the problem I'm looking at now

I have also tried:

Code: Select all

hotspot (37, 685, 285, 50) action ui.callsinnewcontext("myface_logout_label") activate_sound "sounds/click1.mp3"

Only buttons seem to get me where I need with my screens for this. but anyway..

Code: Select all

label myface_logout_label:
    call screen myface_logout
    return

calls this screen:

Code: Select all

screen myface_logout:
    add "animate_myface_logout"
    timer 1.5 action ui.callsinnewcontext("myface_signup_label")

Then calls in this screen after 1.5 seconds:

Code: Select all

screen myface_signup:
    
    
    imagemap:
        alpha False
        cache False
        ground "computer/myface/myface_welcome.png"
        if username == " ":
            hbox xpos 568 ypos 370:
            
                button:
                    id "username_input"
                    xysize (250, 25)
                    action NullAction()
                    #hover_sound "sounds/writing2.mp3"
                
        
                    add Input(font="Mecha.ttf", size=30, color="#000", default=username, changed=username_func, length=14, button=renpy.get_widget("name_input", "username_input")) yalign 1.0
            
            
            imagebutton:
                xpos 700 ypos 500
                idle "computer/myface/signup_button.png"
                hover "computer/myface/signup_button_hover.png"
                action Jump("myface_load_label")
                activate_sound "sounds/click1.mp3"
        else:
            
            hbox xpos 580 ypos 375:
                text "{color=#000}{size=30}{font=Mecha.ttf}[username]" 
            
            #imagebutton:
                #xpos 700 ypos 500
                #idle "computer/myface/signup_button.png"
                #hover "computer/myface/signup_button_hover.png"
                #action Jump("myface_load_label")
                #activate_sound "sounds/click1.mp3"
            textbutton "log in" action ui.callsinnewcontext("myface_home_label") xpos 568 ypos 420

Sorry, it's kind of an unorganized mess right now but you get the idea.

I know that this order of operation works because I have it elsewhere (with buttons) and it works fine.
for example:

Code: Select all

label browser:
    #scene bg browser
    hide screen mini_phone
    show screen browser
    
    d "la la la"

Code: Select all

screen browser:
    
    imagemap:
        ground "computer/browser.png"
        alpha False
        cache False
        if account == True:
            textbutton "MyFace.com" action ui.callsinnewcontext("myface_home_label") style "link_button"
        else:
            textbutton "MyFace.com sign up" action ui.callsinnewcontext("myface_signup_label") style "link_button"
        #hotspot (1270,0,10,10) action Close()
        #imagebutton:
            
            #idle "computer/exit_button.png"
            #hover "computer/exit_button_hover.png" 
            #action Return

Code: Select all

screen myface_signup:
    
    
    imagemap:
        alpha False
        cache False

        if username == " ":
            hbox xpos 568 ypos 370:

                    xysize (250, 25)
                    action NullAction()
                    #hover_sound "sounds/writing2.mp3"
                
        
                    add Input(font="Mecha.ttf", size=30, color="#000", default=username, changed=username_func, length=14, button=renpy.get_widget("name_input", "username_input")) yalign 1.0

    call screen myface_signup
    return

Code: Select all

    imagemap:
        alpha False
        cache False
        ground "computer/myface/myface_home.png"
        hover "computer/myface/myface_home_hover.png"

            text "[username]" font "Euphemia.ttf" color "000" size 24
        
label myface_home_label:
    call screen myface_home

^ and then I started using hotspots and it doesn't work. So I guess I must be missing something lol

*edit: and what happens when I click the hotspot to 'logout' is that it just closes all screens and takes me back to my scene, which in this case would be the testing page I set up that has a menu of routes to take to edit and test.

I don't know if it'll make a difference but I do need to update to the latest version, so I'll do that.

Honestly, I think it's because I'm using that hotspot tool. I'm not sure if it's because my images and game are sized a certain way but the hotspot coordinates are off. So it could be clicking on the wrong hotspot.
