Image map Dead Spots?

[CellHG]

Is there any way to make a dead spot within an image map? iv been looking into it and the only tutorial I can find is in a language I don't understand

So basically, I have this computer:



Bit crappy but get's the job done

I basically want to make it so when I'm using an image map, someone clicks the computer and a menu pop's up.

However, I don't want it to do this when they click next to the image ( basically the transparent background), if you get what I mean

I think all image maps use rectangular hotspots.

I would advise looking at ImageButton and focus_mask which makes only non transparent pixels sensitve...

Or you can use alpha (https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#imagemap ) although that should be True by default.

Might sound like a noob question, but how do I use the alpha & enable it? like where do I put it, it's something iv never understood about the documentation when it shows the name & description of something, but not how to use it o.0

Like would I put alpha = "true" within the image map code? as iv tried that and failed

You write it as an argument for the imagemap. Like so:

Code: Select all

imagemap:
    alpha True
    # other arguments

Iv done that, but when I hover outside the "hover" image, the hover image flickers, even though I'm outside the overlay image o.0

This is the code I have if it helps:

Code: Select all

screen bedroom:
    imagemap:
        alpha True
        ground "Room_Main_Imagemap.png"
        hover "Room_Main_Imagemap_h.png"

        hotspot (134, 548, 219, 244) clicked Jump("side_table")
        hotspot (334, 429, 637, 267) clicked Jump("bed")
        hotspot (1055, 387, 152, 98) clicked Jump("dressser")

I would add the hover image but no image host will let me upload it for some reason o.0

I recommend making that computer an imagebutton.

Where would I but that in the code

Also, I'm using multiple hovers on 1 image, should I be doing that? it's what It said to do on the tutorial

You should check out the Imagebutton Cookbook tutorial for more details on how to deal with imagebuttons. Check it out...but check out the fixed version that I made rather than the original version: viewtopic.php?p=455107#p455107

The issue I'm having with that is it seems to be to open a screen? am I right? I don't want it to go to a screen, once someone click's it I want it to jump to another label, iv tried:

screen bedroom:
imagebutton auto "gui/Room_Bed_Imagemap_h.png" clicked Jump("bed")

but that's in the script file, I don't know how to show it from the screens file o.0

I'm just to noobish xD
