Buttons for RPG styled VN

[Neeka]

Hello I was wondering if there was a way to have a clickable button. EX: After a fight, clickable items will drop. If you click the coin, money will increase, the heart, hp, and so on. I have seen this done on cloudnovel and flash games but was wondering if it was possible in Ren'Py. Thanks!

Do you want a button to appear in the graphics layer or do you want to have a window pop up with things that can be picked up?

If you want something like coins to drop, you need to look at Imagebutton: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#imagebutton

I'm not sure if you can animate it though if you wanted to do coin drop animations - but you can always do an animation on an image first, and once the animation stops, display the Imagebutton.


If you just want a window to pop up with the option to collect the coins, you can either do it via a menu or a screen with textbutton: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#textbutton

If you give clearer examples, it'll be easier to pin point which method and how to do it

It looks like the Imagebuttons will work. I do have a Starburst effect that I could layer over dropped items. I also wanted to include the option to use potions on you/other member of your party or buy/sell items and I think creating a menu will help. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. I'll study the links you provided.
