I have seen a lot of examples. Consider looking in Creative Commons, Ren'Py Cookbook, and other sections.prince_lvcio wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 7:08 pm like letting the player make their character like a picrew or somethin
Here is a simplified example with screen language (you can also find some other examples of screens with buttons in Ren'Py Cookbook or Ren'Py Questions and Announcements):prince_lvcio wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 7:08 pm or, if that's too complicated, how to just put up a menu of characters and let the player choose between them?
Code: Select all
screen select_character():
default selected_character = None
hbox:
spacing 10
frame:
background ("#aaffff" if selected_character == "boy_00.png" else "#ffffff")
imagebutton:
idle "boy_00.png"
action SetScreenVariable('selected_character', "boy_00.png")
frame:
background ("#aaffff" if selected_character == "boy_01.png" else "#ffffff")
imagebutton:
idle "boy_01.png"
action SetScreenVariable('selected_character', "boy_01.png")
frame:
background ("#aaffff" if selected_character == "boy_02.png" else "#ffffff")
imagebutton:
idle "boy_02.png"
action SetScreenVariable('selected_character', "boy_02.png")
if selected_character != None:
textbutton _("Select"):
xalign 1.0 yalign 1.0
action Return(selected_character)
default mc_image_name = 'boy_00.png'
image mc_image = "[mc_image_name]"
label start:
call screen select_character
$ mc_image_name = _return
show mc_image at left
"Character is selected!"
