Make a quick animated menu, that can be hidden and shown?

#1 Post by EasyRhysie »

Hello, people!
I want to make a quick animated menu for my game, to add a small button that will be partially hidden when the gamer is playing, and will be shown when you direct the mouse to it. I'm not very good with text explanation, so I better show you the sample I found on the Net (also, oh, how neat is that game, I need to play it one day! ,__,):

I'm not sure what code to use for it. Can you help with ideas?
~Thank you!

Hello! I think what you need is the mousearea UI statement.

As for creating the animation (if that's even a concern for youi), I'm bloody useless on that stuff, but you should check the RenPy cookbook directory. Also, studying other people's codes can be a major step in learning.

I wish you good luck!
