Menu Screen with Different Looking Choice Buttons

Pretty sure this is a silly question but I can't seem to squeeze an answer out of my noggin! :|
In my game, I'd like my choice menus to have aesthetically different buttons, something like this:
which would need a different file to be used for each button, but I have 0 idea how to go about doing it.
If it ends up being difficult to code I can just scrap the idea, but I think it'd look nicer aesthetically if I could make the choice buttons like this instead of all looking the same.
Help would be very appreciated!!

Class UniqueButtons:
Code: Select all
class UniqueButtons:
buttons = [Solid("#ff0000",xfill=True,yfill=True),Solid("#00ff00",xfill=True,yfill=True),Solid("#0000ff",xfill=True,yfill = True)]
counter = 0
@classmethod
def GetBackground(cls):
bg = cls.buttons[cls.counter]
cls.counter = ((cls.counter + 1) % len(cls.buttons))
return bg
@classmethod
def Reset(cls):
cls.counter = 0
Set this up somewhere. Put your backgrounds inside the "buttons" list. I used three differently coloured boxes as placeholder.
You need to modify the screen_choice(items) screen in your screens.rpy to look like this:
Code: Select all
screen choice(items):
style_prefix "choice"
vbox:
for i in items:
textbutton i.caption:
action i.action
background UniqueButtons.GetBackground()
$UniqueButtons.Reset()
This is fairly simple, but I don't know how much knowledge of Ren'py\Python you have, so if you want a detailed explanation feel free to ask.

Just wanted to say thankyou for the help!! I haven't had the chance to try implementing this code yet but it looks like exactly what I was after.
(I might need that extra bit of help but I'm going to give it a red hot go first ^^)
Thanks again!

Does this work with changing the image while it's being hovered over?

You'll want to use hover for this. (:
