I know it hasn't been very long, but I have another question! If you'll be so kind to answer, I saw this in the tutorial but I'm a complete Noob at coding and I was hoping if someone could give me an example of the code to help me understand. I tried to look in the tutorial game's script for it but I got lost in everything else.
I was wondering how to put a click indicator into the text area,
If I'm not being specific enough it's in the tutorial under the character object section the very last thing that is mentioned.
Hello, I'm completely new to this and I tried looking around but there's so much to look through that I got lost and my head spun. So I thought it may be easier to ask. I know this may be a really easy fix for those who have been around awhile so please indulge me.
I was wondering how you would make a menu veiwable in game. Like to have the save/load preferences there next to the text box? I know that you can right click but I would also like the buttons for people who don't know to right click. (I didn't in some of the first ren'py games I played and I felt the need to finish them in one sitting)
*edit*
Also If I may know... Is there a way to change the little Ren'py icon into something else? (the one with the girl in the hat) old issue solved. :3

For a menu viewable in game with the save/load next to the textbox, do you mean something like this?
Because if it is, this is the code:
Code: Select all
init python:
# Give us some space on the right side of the screen.
style.window.right_padding = 100
def toggle_skipping():
config.skipping = not config.skipping
show_button_game_menu = True
def button_game_menu():
if show_button_game_menu:
# to save typing
ccinc = renpy.curried_call_in_new_context
ui.vbox(xpos=0.99, ypos=0.98, xanchor='right', yanchor='bottom')
ui.textbutton("Skip", clicked=toggle_skipping, xminimum=80)
ui.textbutton("Save", clicked=ccinc("_game_menu_save"), xminimum=80)
ui.textbutton("Load", clicked=ccinc("_game_menu_load"), xminimum=80)
ui.textbutton("Prefs", clicked=ccinc("_game_menu_preferences"), xminimum=80)
ui.close()
config.window_overlay_functions.append(button_game_menu)
Just copy and paste into the screens.rpy and adjust to your needs.

Copy and paste this code into options.rpy under "
##More customizations can go here.":
Code: Select all
config.window_icon = "yourgameicon.png"

Something like this?
http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... /Character
Code: Select all
$ ectc = Character('Eileen', color=(200, 255, 200, 255),
ctc = anim.Blink("arrow.png"))
(code from that page, the bit you're interested in is the ctc one.)
>You may want to use different indicators for ctc and ctc_pause
>You may use other animations, including ones you define yourself

I think that's what I'm looking for but I can't seem to get it to work. I keep getting all kinds of different errors as I change it around trying to make it work. :S
I'm unsure of how to implement this code to make it work.

in that case, could you post up the code you're using and what error you're getting?

After having a night's sleep I ended up figuring out the problem. D:
Seems I wasn't defining the character to have the symbol after it. With a rested mind I fixed it up and it works. :3 Thank you for your patience.
