Hotspot On The Start Screen In Order To Start Game? (SOLVED)

#1 Post by Scribbler »

I really want to let players start my game from the main menu by clicking a hotspot. I don't know exactly where to put my code in, though, nor if there's anything I need to take out. I have the hotspot actually coded -

imagemap:
ground 'main_menu1.png'
idle 'main_menu1.png'
hover 'hover.png'

alpha False

hotspot(327,1488,111,111) action

What action do I take here to start the came from the main menu? Where do I imput the code and what other parts do I remove? I'm completely lost...
Thank you!

This is what the start screen currently looks like. I want to have it set so the home button will be the hotspot to start the game.

This is the code as it is now, in screens.rpy. I believe this is the relevant section?

The action is Start(), check main_menu screen in screens.rpy and https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_a ... html#Start
