Okay, so thanks to alera i can create a semi decent imagebutton screen. However as far as actions the imagebuttons can perform, i only know of and know how to use Jump. I've been attempting to use call but it hasn't worked so far.

Does anyone know where i can find a list of actions imagebuttons can execute and what they do?

This is all in the documentation: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_actions.html

If you haven't read the documentation yet beyond the QuickStart, I highly recommend it. It has a lot of great and important information on how to code Ren'py.

Thanks. I've found something that i think will do the job:

ui.callsinnewcontext

Better not use ui. functions at the beginning. Try to understand screen language.
The "callsinnewcontext" seems a pretty advanced thing.

If you only need to show a screen in a new context, the action ShowTransient() may be enough. I suggest giving it a try before attempting ui.

If you want to show a screen, you can also just Show. So...what exactly are you trying to do?

Basically i want to display imagebuttons that show you a stats screen, map or inventory respectively when clicked. The problem that i was having was that i wanted the screen to show without affecting the flow. My game is not linear. After the tutorial it is a free roam world where all choices stack and affect what happens next. The world itself is designed as a loop which can be expanded and content added, but there is no set path. If the button was clicked, the required action would be executed, but i could only return to a fixed point, which did not exist since the player could click it from anywhere. I wont pretend to know how it works, but ui.callsinnewcontext calls the screen as an overlap to the existing screen and returns to the exact point that was left without terminating the circular world loop.

I found it here http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/coo ... ion_Screen
