Re: Stop animated button playing on loading screen?

Thankyou for your help but the situation remains the same.
I need a way for the button to display a resting/static image when the screen loads and only play the animations when the player hovers/unhovers the buttons.

Hello, I have been playing around with animating buttons and have reached a point where I'm reasonably happy for now. The only problem I am having is the buttons playing their animations whenever the screen is loaded. I'm aware it is most likely an issue with how I am using idle, but it was the only...

How to take cropped screenshots?

Pretty much as the title says, is it possible to take screenshots of a select area of the screen using the action Screenshot(). The game I'm making allows the player to build their own character through the stacking of multiple image layers in a character creator, for easy sharing it would be good i...

Re: Software for Creating Text Images (Question)

I use Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo for all of my text and images, They are a one off purchase unlike adobe. A free online alternative is: https://www.photopea.com/ And has much of the functionality of a professional software and is still easy to use. You could also try Inkscape: https://inks...

Re: String not changing after button press

Thankyou for your reply, but I'm sorry to say it didn't help the situation. I think I may not of done a good job of explaining the problem itself though. So let me try again. The screen has three groups of buttons, each consists of a plus button, a minus button and each one shows the selected number...

The button consists of a plus and minus used to change a value between 1 and 5. An if function then assigns either ABCDE to the number wh...

Re: problems using [variable] in imagebuttons

Aye, I will end up with a dozen or so profile pages and I'm looking to have as many reusable pieces of code like this as I can for the reasons you have mentioned.

Many thanks for your help in solving the problem.

Re: problems using [variable] in imagebuttons

Thanks for your reply Ocelot, I have tried your method and found it works perfectly. Not to mention I have learned a few new things that will help me going forwards. The extra SetVariable is not needed though, its just fragment left over from when I have changed things in the past. I will look up th...

Hello, I'm having trouble getting the screen to hand over a string to the auto and action portions of the code below. If I replace the character_name with a proper name the code works flawlessly. I have done similar things using 'add' (for example - add "gui/character screen/[variable]_backgrou...

Re: Screen not displaying images and text until a button is pressed

anyway I found a solution or at least a workaround to my problem, the label that is called to show the screens runs a series of If statments and updates the lyra_clothes variable that the imagebuttons use to decide which one is selected at any one time. this means that the first button will always b...

Re: Screen not displaying images and text until a button is pressed

In a typical turn of events I have made some progress after achieving nothing all afternoon. The viewport text now shows every time, the character image still does not appear until an imagebutton is selected, but shows every time after this. By inserting the following label at the top of the screen ...
