Screen with on off buttons

[Kamos]

Hello everyone. I have one little question....

I want to make simple screen with 7 Lamps.... When you click on lamp 1 lamp 1 start shine.... but only when you have light bulbs in your possesion.... then when you click on lampt 3 lamp 3 will shine if you have bulb and lamp 1 still shine if you dont turn it off before...

What is the best way to make that screen???

Thanks

Some simple conditionals and the very basic python is all you need.


Start by building a screen. I will assume you want it to take up the whole game screen. I also assume your game is 1280x720.
For simplicity, I will use a vpgrid.

Code: Select all

screen lamps():
    
    tag menu
    style_prefix "lamps_menu"
    add "my background.png"
        
    vpgrid:
        xmaximum 700
        xfill True
        xpos 0
        ypos 0
        cols 1
        spacing 20
        draggable False

Add your lamps and include a python variable.

Code: Select all

        if lamp == 0:
            add imagebutton idle "lamp_off.png" hover "lamp_off.png" focus_mask True action SetVariable(lamp, 1)
        else:
            add magebutton idle "lamp_on.png" hover "lamp_on.png" focus_mask True action SetVariable(lamp, 0)

Be aware that whilst using a vpgrid, all elements inside it are pre-sized to the first object. If you want to add other stuff, consider a vbox or some other screen element.

Thank you very much.. but what if i need only that imagebutton - lamp png is same size as screen but only lamp is on specific place with 'blank' background

affter some tries it still give me same result:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/script.rpy", line 39: end of line expected.
    add imagebutton idle "Jessie.png" hover "Jessie.png" focus_mask True action SetVariable(lamp, 1)
                                      ^

File "game/script.rpy", line 41: end of line expected.
    add magebutton idle "Jessie.png" hover "Jessie.png" focus_mask True action SetVariable(lamp, 0)
                                     ^

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.12.4.2187

is there any possibiltieis with imagebuttons or imagemap?

I forgot about the requirement to have a bulb in your posession.

I also made a typo.

Code: Select all

        else:
            add imagebutton idle "lamp_on.png" hover "lamp_on.png" focus_mask True action SetVariable(lamp, 0)

I left out the i in "imagebutton"


If you want the image as part of the game background, it might be better to use an imagemap, but can be done with either.

I'm afraid I have never tried to do this yet so can't offer further help. Everything I posted so far is just based on past experience with programming and what I could learn by reading the documentation.
