Re: Having some problems with styles

Your frame trick worked.

Adding Transform to the menu button throws the "expected statement" error at the transform line.

I would like it to be a style if possible so that if I wanted to update it, I can do it once and not have to change every button.

Having some problems with styles

I have several problems that I am trying to solve. First one is getting my game to use a style. I have a bright spot in a background under some white text. I would like to give the text box a dark background to make it readable. I've tried setting up a style with the dark background. But the game is...

Re: Trying to create a character select screen

Thank you both for your replies. @Per K Grok I kind of like where you were going. but the sprites are full body and the description text is three lines long. So I would have to have the text overlap the image. I also want to have different effects for the idle and hover states. (Ex: shaded out while...

Trying to create a character select screen

As the title says, I'm trying to create a character select screen where when the player selects a character, they read a little bit about the character. They can confirm their selection or go back to the selection screen. My goal is to have it appear with a pixelated transition. It would then pixela...

You can use HueMatrix: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/matrixcolor.html#HueMatrix image your_image: "your_image_comp" matrixcolor HueMatrix(40) That works to tint the image. But now how do I overlay the text. The image doesn't show if I add text to the bottom of the code above and the is a...

Trying to import character data through Multi-Game Persistence

As the title says, I want to be able to import my characters in to other games that I will make. Mostly for cameos reasons. Can the MultiPersistent() function do that and if so, how do I go about doing it. Here is a sample of the data I want to port over: ChColor = "#FFFFFF" Ch = Character...

Can I use Matrixcolor in Composites?

I want to have text over a darken picture without having to edit the picture itself. I feel Matrixcolor will be quicker than editing the image itself if I decide to change the image at a later date.

Is there another way to do this if Matrixcolor can't be used in Composites?

adding a colored border around an image

I'm adding side images to my game. I want a colored border around each image using the character's defined color. I would prefer to not have to add it to each image. I think I know where to add the code in the say screen. What is the character color variable? Can frames or borders support colors? If...
