Need in game pop up menu help? A menu for stats, etc...?

#1 Post by melkat7 » Thu Dec 31, 2015 3:29 pm

Hey guys I'm just dabbling my feet in ren'py for the first time and I've googled endlessly but I can't seem to find an answer to my question (even though I'm pretty sure it's commonplace? I'm probably lacking the proper terminology).

Even if it's ambitious, I'd like to know how to go about making an in game menu that like, pops up when you click a menu button and can display things like stats, relationship levels, or jump to a store where the player can buy things. All I've been able to find are tutorials on how to customize the gui and make a quick access screen to save and load and things...

If I could be redirected to some tutorials that'd be great!

Thanks so much!

You could just use the quick menu screen for that, since it shows up during the game.

I would go into a deeper explanation, but I'm using my phone and it's pretty uncomfortable to write xD

A-Ah I see? So I would just add a bunch of buttons to the quick menu...? Thank you for the help!

Either I have misunderstood your question or you have misunderstood my answer.

If you want a button during the game that pops a menu (it doesn't matter what that menu is for), then you should just add that button to the quick menu.

Now, if what you want to do is a somewhat complex menu that you can access to during the game which has stats and more, then you just need to make a screen that simply displays that info. I don't know if I have explained myself clear on this one, though... Whenever I get my hands on a PC I'll givw you some sample code, if you get into deeper explanation of what you want. n.n
