[solved] get click position on the button?

I have a big button and I want to find out where it has been clicked in relation to it's top left.
So far I've been positioning it manually, that way I know where my button starts at all times, this limits the use of vbox, hbox, paddings and drags. I wonder is there's an easy way to find where on the button has been clicked, or at least where the button was when it was clicked?

I guess you could just call a function the moment it is clicked. That function then utilizes
renpy.get_mouse_pos() and calculates the rest depending on the position of the button and its size.

That's what I've been doing.
But I want to have freedom to place my button in arbitrary positions, utilizing boxes, padding, margin and drags without having to take all of those into account in my calculations.

What are you trying to achieve, why do you need such calculations? Maybe a set of overlapping imagebuttons with foces_mask property could do the trick?

Wouldn't renpy.focus_coordinates (
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/other.ht ... oordinates ) be enough to get the info you need?

When I have something like a chess board, instead of adding a hundred buttons, I usually add one and find out what cell is clicked by doing some math instead.
That's exactly what I've been looking for, thank you ^^
