Help!!! Problems with image maps [SOLVED]

[Ronyavalentine]

So, I've been having a problem with imagemaps for AGES now, without being able to make them work properly. I'm trying to make simple navigation-menus in-game as well as customize menus and such, but whenever I try to work around things, only the ground image shows up and won't let the player interact with the hotspots AT ALL. I've tried working according to tutorials, old and new, but the newest I've found are at least three years old and I feel like they MAY be outdated. Have you had this problem before? If so, how did you overcome it? Answers and tips would be greatly appreciated!!!


EDIT: OK PROBLEM SOLVED THANK YOU SO MUCH

You should probably show your code here, otherwise people can only guess what went wrong rather than actually see it.

The tutorials in the cookbook are not outdated. Imagemaps just have not changed in a long time.

Ahhh gosh sorry ofc I should've included the code !!! I hope this is the correct way to put it??

Code: Select all

screen fightscreen:
   imagemap:
        ground "Fight_screenIDLE.png"
        idle "Fight_screenIDLE.png"
        hover "Fight_screenHOVER.png"
        
        hotspot (26.0, 122, 351.0, 93) clicked Jump("attack")
        hotspot (28.0, 315, 344.0, 86) clicked Jump("cheap_shot")
        hotspot (28.0, 504, 345, 93) clicked Jump("verbal_hit")
        hotspot (898.0, 123, 348.0, 92) clicked Jump("fight_item")
        hotspot (901.0, 313, 350.0, 93) clicked Jump("opponent_info")
        hotspot (910.0, 504, 350.0, 94) clicked Jump("free_hit")

I've also tried including selected_idle and selected_hover, and used 'actions' when customizing menus and such. I'm probably making some silly mistake which is easy to fix and I really hope that's the case gosh. Once again, the problem is only the ground image displaying and not letting me/the player interact with the hotspots.

Change "clicked" to "action".

Change "clicked" to "action".

I tried this; Still only getting the ground image without working hotspots.

[Zetsubou]

You're changing the wrong part.
Change "clicked", not "Jump".
Your traceback has 'clicked action("attack")'. The syntax should be 'action Jump("attack")'.

I realized I was doing the wrong thing the moment I posted the reply to you haha. I tried this too, but still no luck. Ground screen, no working hotspots.

Code: Select all

screen fightscreen:
   imagemap:
        ground "Fight_screenIDLE.png"
        idle "Fight_screenIDLE.png"
        hover "Fight_screenHOVER.png"
        
        hotspot (26.0, 122, 351.0, 93) action Jump("attack")
        hotspot (28.0, 315, 344.0, 86) action Jump("cheap_shot")
        hotspot (28.0, 504, 345, 93) action Jump("verbal_hit")
        hotspot (898.0, 123, 348.0, 92) action Jump("fight_item")
        hotspot (901.0, 313, 350.0, 93) action Jump("opponent_info")
        hotspot (910.0, 504, 350.0, 94) action Jump("free_hit")

Hm, the only thing I can think of there would be the ".0" for the hotspot coordinates.
I don't know if hotspots differentiate between floats and ints, but it can't hurt to try.
ie. change "26.0" to "26", "351.0" to "351", and so on, then see if that makes a difference.

AAHHHH it worked ohmygosh it was that simple thank you so much!! I just copied the coordinates straight off the developer-screen so I figured the digits would be necessary haha. Thank you!! It's working well now!
