Yeah, it seems sometimes you can't figure it out even when it's in front of you the whole time... I even had a working example inside my game from 1 year ago in front of me and couldn't figure out how and why a button got the selected state... but "For example, if your button uses SetVariable action...

Hiya, 1. I want to use the auto function for imagebuttons. What are all the names for the placeholder I have to use here? (i.e.: Idle, Hover,...) 2. I want make use of 'selected' imagebutton. What do I have to do to make an imagebutton show the selected version instead of the unselected one? (i.e.: ...

Yes, there are many ways to search, many ways to spend time just to search for one information that could have been provided in just a few words or even lines and in so many cases. Ren'Py is full of it and everyone who learned Ren'Py is aware of this crap so what are we talking about? How many devel...

I read the documentation and more than once, but why would I find "Statement Equivalents" not on the page that was named so but on a page named "Python Statements" that I would consider having a Reference of Python Statements valid inside of Ren'py eludes my very simple mind. Not to forget that vari...

Hiya, what is the difference between: define bob = "bob the builder" and $ bob = "bob the builder" or define kate = Character("kate"...) and $ kate = Character("kate"...) ? is there any explanation when to use what or if there is something behind define that $ = doesn't do, or the other way around? ...

Thanks a lot for clearing that up.

Hiya, I lately noticed, that dict-variables inside of Ren'Py aren't ordered as they are in Python at least, they don't seem to work as they should. I've written a little game editor in Python (Python 3.10) that is using json files to exchange data between the editor and the Ren'Py game. To read the ...

You can find several examples using this if you search the forums as well.

Sometimes I wish you guys could see a log of all my search queries and pondering I've done before having to beg for information in this forum and of course getting exactly the RTF quote.

Thanks for the info anyways.

Hiya,

is there a simple way to get the mouse cursor location inside a Ren'Py screen?

Hmm... if you want two independent lines of text you don't need a vbox at all, you can position text where ever you want. xpos and ypos is the pixel coordinate and xalign and yalign the orientation. If you create a box at x=100, y=100, width=50, height=50 and xalign=1.0, yalign=1.0, then the box wil...

Oh, I see. Sorry I had no idea from which part of your screen you were talking. Yes in that case you are right. Like frame and vbox, the text is kinda creating it's own box which you then position with the position style properties. The only thing to add is, that you don't need to use transform to a...

Have you checked its not being caused by scaling? What does it look like in fullscreen? What about at different resolutions? the gap stays relatively the same no matter if I resize the game window or switch to full screen. spacing can have a negative value. Alternatively, you can increase the line ...

text_align!!!

check out my example

Not sure what he tried to achieve with the array and the following code. Because the moment when you write $ location = "livingroom" the list of ["livingroom, "bathroom", "Kitchen"] gets overwritten with a simple string. And to position a single text line would look like: screen location(): text "[l...

The idea behind boxes, vbox and hbox is that the arranging of displayables. And if you make one element bigger then they are shifting/moving everything out of the way to correctly display them. You can of course always manage the position of those elements on your own. You don't need a vbox or hbox ...
