What pixel am I hitting?

[Mochiron]

So, I'm trying to figure out a way to figure out where the player is clicking on the screen. I'm aware of renpy.imagemap, but I would like to avoid defining 800 x 600 hotspots or so. Since renpy.imagemap works at all I can only assume that the program knows where the user is clicking. Is there a way to hijack those results and just save it into variables?

You need to create a user-defined displayable to do this. Ren'Py is set up so that all games can be played with a keyboard or joystick, so it's not always the case that there even _is_ a particular point where the used clicked to activate a button.

I'm confused. Could you elaborate a little on how I should/could go about it?

Edit: Just tell me to hit the books, If it's overly complicated.

Except not much has been written anywhere about making your own displayables.
