Adding URL as an Imagebutton Screen

[dragonknighttara]

Hello! I'm still fairly new to Ren'py and image buttons, but I'd like to add one to the end of a game to allow players to go to specific web links after they've played for more information on the product. I can create largely the same effect with a menu and hyperlinks, but I like the way the image buttons look better and want to have a better grasp on calling screens as well.

I'll post the code I'm using below from the Screens.rpy file, but all I keep getting is "Invalid Syntax" errors. I've tried to make sure my indentation and spacing isn't causing the issue, but I'm still not having much luck.

Code: Select all

screen end_menu_multiply:

    imagebutton auto "GUI/im_multiply_%s.png" xpos 1000 ypos 400 focus_mask True action OpenURL(weblink copied here)

and the call within the script (if relevant) looks like this:

Code: Select all

$ show_endmenu_multiply = True

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!

Hmmmm... I've never tried this before, so I had to do some searching for the code.

I'd guess that it's not working because the URL part isn't in quotation marks. It's supposed to look like this:

Code: Select all

action OpenURL("URL GOES HERE")

Also, I'm not sure you're supposed to have an underscore between show and endmenu... If the URL bit above doesn't work, try this:

Code: Select all

$ show endmenu_multiply = True

Hope this helps!

Oh my gosh, I overlooked the quotation marks! I think that was the issue, thank you!!

Ah, those pesky quotation marks! No problem, happy to help!

Actually bumping this again now that I've had time to beat my head against the wall enough and try to find some tutorials, but I'm having an issue calling any customized screens within the game at all - whether or not they include an imagebutton. Is there any tutorial or resources on what it looks like to both add a custom screen to the screens.rpy file and what the corresponding code should be in the script itself?

I found this in the documentation!

OMG. THANK YOU. That is 100% what I needed!!
