choice buttons minimmumY Spacing is posible?

[johandark]

Is the a posibility to put higher the choice buttons so it doesn´t go over the text below? Like a minimmum Y where questions can´t go lower...

Also would be nice to have the ability of space between questions would be variable depending on the space available... I don´t know if it´s possible...

Thanks!

Is it not possible? :S

It's definitelly possible. If you use a new gui, then in gui.rpy find this line

Code: Select all

## The spacing between menu choices.
define gui.choice_spacing = 22

If you use legacy theme, then you need to modify choice screen a bit: in screens.rpy find the part anout choice screen

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):

    window:
        style "menu_window"
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5

        vbox:
            style "menu"
            spacing 2 # <--- change the number to some variable, and don't forget to set it using define statement
etc.

You can change the Y position of the choice section by changing "ypos" in the "choice screen" section of screens.rpy:

Code: Select all

style choice_vbox:
    xalign 0.5
    ypos 275     		# change this, a lower number will place it higher on the screen
    yanchor 0.5  		# you can also change this if you want to position from the top of the box, rather than the middle

    spacing gui.choice_spacing 	# REMOVE THIS LINE

To get dynamic spacing, you can remove the 'spacing gui.choice_spacing' line from the section above, and instead specify the spacing in this section (this section is just above the previous section):

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):
    style_prefix "choice"

    $ space = 50 / len(items)		# calculate spacing depending on the number of items
    vbox spacing space:			# specify that spacing when creating the vbox
        for i in items:
            textbutton i.caption action i.action

Although obviously you'll want to work out a better value, the formula I've used is just to demonstrate that it works.
