[Solved]How to have buttons on your game?Not really imagemap

[Kiri_Meow]

What I'm talking about is that button beside the narration/dialogue box.
For example, in the Alistair VN.


I encircled those "buttons" which I am talking about. I also saw those kinds of buttons in the Starry Sky VN.
So how do you put those things there? I mean, what's the code? I tried using imagemaps but failed (cause I'm a noob). xD
I searched for other codes and found Imagebuttons. I'm not sure if that's what the author used, so I'm asking you guys.

Please help me~!!!

I think it's called menu buttons, the code for simples ones is in the link below:

Just follow the instructions
To make it like Starry Sky or RE:Alistair... I guess you'll be needing some pro programmers XD IDK Also currently trying to figure out how to make the menu buttons look more like that.

I'll just copy/paste what I'm using and maybe you can play around with it and make it work for you. The buttons I have are save, load, auto read, skip, and one that brings up the preferences screen. The "text/___.png" stuff is what you replace with the name of your button. At the moment these are aligned horizontally at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen in my 800x600 window, but you can move them around as you like with xpos and ypos and a bit of trial and error.

This goes in your init:

Code: Select all

screen save_button:
     imagebutton:
         idle "Text/save.png"
         hover "Text/save2.png"
         xpos 435 ypos 562
         action ShowMenu("save")
         
screen load_button:
     imagebutton:
         idle "Text/load.png"
         hover "Text/load2.png"
         xpos 500 ypos 562
         action ShowMenu("load")

screen auto_button:
     imagebutton:
         idle "Text/auto.png"
         hover "Text/auto2.png"
         xpos 570 ypos 562
         action Preference("auto-forward", "toggle")
         
screen skip_button:
     imagebutton:
         idle "Text/skip.png"
         hover "Text/skip2.png"
         xpos 635 ypos 562
         action Skip()
         
screen config_button:
     imagebutton:
         idle "Text/config.png"
         hover "Text/config2.png"
         xpos 700 ypos 562
         action ShowMenu("preferences")

And this goes in start:

Code: Select all

    show screen auto_button
    show screen skip_button
    show screen save_button
    show screen load_button
    show screen config_button

You may edit say screen using screen language.

Code: Select all

init:
    screen say:
        window id "window":
        has vbox

        if who:
            text who id "who"

        text what id "what"

        imagebutton 'status.png' action Jump('status') 
        imagebutton 'save.png' action ShowMenu('save')
        # .....
