Imagebutton crashing game when I attempt to click it

[EriksBlue]

I am trying to implement a imagebutton into my game, i can launch the game and get to the screen but as soon as I go to click the image i get this code. Can anyone help?

Code: Select all

While running game code:
  File "game/chapter1.rpy", line 133, in script
    call screen drop_menu
  File "renpy/common/000statements.rpy", line 569, in execute_call_screen
    store._return = renpy.call_screen(name, *args, **kwargs)
  File "renpy/common/00action_control.rpy", line 126, in __call__
    renpy.show_screen(self.screen, *self.args, **self.kwargs)
Exception: Screen displayTextScreen is not known. 

My code

Code: Select all

    
    call screen drop_menu
screen drop_menu:
    imagebutton:
        idle "Key_image.png"
        hover "Key_image.png"
        focus_mask True
        xpos 1 ypos 1
        action [Hide("displayTextScreen"), Jump("end")]

        hovered Show("displayTextScreen",
            displayText = "Keys")
        unhovered Hide("displayTextScreen")
label end:

I as well have set up ui.imagebutton in the script.rpy file

Code: Select all

python:
    ui.frame(xalign=1,yalign=1)
    ui.imagebutton("Key_image.png", "Key_image.png", clicked=ui.returns(1))
    ui.interact()

It says, that there is no screen "displayTextScreen". How do you define it?

> ui.imagebutton
Those should not ever be used again. Mentions of legacy UI functions are even purged from latest documentation.

I am unfamiliar on how I would go about defining the "displayTextScreen".

Apologies I am out of practice with renpy. Thank you for the heads up about ui.imagebutton i was digging through posts trying to fix a earlier issue and that was one recommendation.

What is the line

Code: Select all

hovered Show("displayTextScreen",
            displayText = "Keys")

supposed to do?

Well its suppose to show the word keys when the mouse is hovering over the image.

then you want to use tooltips not show

User rayminator points you to tooltips, but actually your solution should be work flawlessly, too.

Your error suggests that the screen "displayTextScreen" is not known. Maybe a typo?

Show us your code for the screen! It should at least look like this:

Code: Select all

screen displayTextScreen(displayText):
    text displayText

Place your screen outside of any labels!

Code: Select all

screen drop_menu:
    imagebutton:
        idle "Key_image.png"
        hover "Key_image.png"
        focus_mask True
        xpos 1 ypos 1
        action [Hide("displayTextScreen"), Jump("end")]

        hovered Show("displayTextScreen",
            displayText = "Keys")
        unhovered Hide("displayTextScreen")


#Screens do not go inside labels. Do not define screens beyond this point.
label start:
    "Do not place any screens or other items after this line"
    call screen drop_menu

label end:

The game will find your screen, only if it is outside a label.

Also, I don't think the show action while hovered is what you want. As soon as the screen is shown, your button will be covered by the new screen, thus no longer hovered.


Just to be sure, can you check the screen exists.
In the Ren'Py launcher, click on "navigate script"

Then go across to "screens" and confirm your screen is listed:
