color map [update 2020-04-24]

[Per K Grok]

Using a color map loaded to a surface to mark up areas on the game screen.

EDIT 2020-04-24:
It has been brought to my attention that there is a problem with using this code when attempting to make a save.

I have made the following changes in the original code to correct that problem. The main part is to move the im.load_surface part to a function. This way there is no loaded surface for save to handle

Code: Select all

init python:
    def colorpick(pix,x,y):
        if pix==1:
            floor=im.load_surface("images/colormap.png")
        inout=floor.get_at((x,y)) [:3]
        return inout

The variable pix makes it possible to use the function for more than one colormap, though only one is necessary in this example

In the code below the following chances are needed.

remove
$ floor=im.load_surface("images/colormap.png")

and replace
$ inout=floor.get_at((mX,mY)) [:3]
with
$ inout=colorpick(1,mX,mY)


and you should be good to go.


original code

Code: Select all

screen checker():

    text str(mX) + ":" + str(mY)
    text str(inout) ypos 20
    text teller pos (mX, mY-20) color "#F00"

label start:

label room:
    scene room
    show screen checker
    $ floor=im.load_surface("images/colormap.png")

label rotator:
    $ mX, mY = renpy.get_mouse_pos()
    $ inout=floor.get_at((mX,mY)) [:3]

    if inout==(255,255,255):
        $ teller="Nothing worth noting."
    elif inout==(255,0,0):
        $ teller="Door"
    elif inout==(255,0,128):

Oooh, this is a nice simple example which I may end up using if I ever work on a point and click game. Thanks for posting!
