Re: Add a displayable to an existing screen

Thanks a lot for your help! I'm using showif to add an new icon to the display everytime a new 'visitor' is added to the game (it's, broadly-speaking, a hospitality game) showif len(visitors)>0: python: for x in visitors: renpy.ui.imagebutton("icon"+str(x), action=Function(visitors.remove,...

Re: Add a displayable to an existing screen

That sounds ok Alex, I can do that thank you.

Add a displayable to an existing screen

I have a status bar screen at the top of my game. How do I add new interface elements (e.g. an imagebutton) to that screen during the game?
