How to Make Dialog Appear When Hovering in Map

[maryeliezka]

I’m currently using imagemap to make map in game where player can travel to any location in map. So far i can make the description appear in tooltips like this :
So far i can make it like this for tooltips:

Code: Select all

    screen mymap():
    default tt = Tooltip("")

    imagemap:
        ground "ground.png"
        hover "hover.png"

        hotspot (355, 647, 500, 55) clicked Jump ("location1") hovered tt.Action("Description Example 1")
        hotspot (227, 568, 125, 130) clicked Jump ("location2") hovered tt.Action("Description Example 2")
        hotspot (1020, 446, 500, 200) clicked Jump ("location3") hovered tt.Action("Description Example 2")

        
        frame:
         vbox:
            xalign 0.7
            yalign 0.7
            text tt.value
                

but is there any way to make dialog appear instead using the tooltips? for example when hovering in location1 narrator will say "This is my home".

for example when hovering in location1 narrator will say "This is my home".

This:

Code: Select all

screen mymap():
    default tt = Tooltip("")

    textbutton "Meow":
        align .5, .5
        action NullAction() hovered tt.Action("Description Example 1"), With(dissolve)
        
    showif tt.value:
        use say("", tt.value)

label start:
    call screen mymap

You don't really need showif and With(dissolve) but they may give you some ideas on how to make it pretty. There are other ways of doing this as well, this is prolly the simplest.

It's not very usefull here because it should work the same with "if". Showif can be used paired with ATL events (instead/paired with dissolve transition). You can read about in screen docs.
