Need help in making an image-map

#1 Post by DeathSummoner »

Hi, I am new to Renpy software and making visual novel game and i never learned any codes anywhere. But i am learning from the internet and from people but still a newbie
So my question is about making an imagemap. I want a clickable map like when a mouse hovers over a building it will glow and then the players can click on it, after that living room with other doors leading to other rooms will appear and player can also click on them and can go into those rooms.
I am done making the maps, and other rooms and all i am left is with codings.
I tried finding some information from cookbook and got some links: viewtopic.php?f=51&t=22410#p283359
viewtopic.php?p=127273
but i didnot understand most of what they were saying. And faced most difficulties in understanding "Hotspot"
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#hotspot
so can anyone please guide me what should and how should i start coding the imagemap?

I'm not sure if you've seen this thread or not, but so far this is the only simplest imagemap tutorial that I can understand even if I'm not a pro at programming :D viewtopic.php?f=51&t=46229 I don't really know how to implement imagemaps on which you click on a door and it leads you to another room, but I think maybe starting from the basics could help before moving on to create a fully funtional navigation map?
