Imagebutton question

[renpyhelp]

I need a little help with imagebuttons

I have an imagebutton on a screen as this...

imagebutton:
idle "help1"
hover "help2"
xpos 313 ypos 3
action Jump("help3")

this brings up the help3 image on click. I need it to be able to remove the help3 image on a mouse click or button press. Is there a way to make that possible? I just can't seem to find anyway possible. Also need it to have it not be able to interact with anything else on the screen while the picture is up.

I'm not quite understand what your trying to achieve. When you click this button, it makes the game jump to label "help3".
If you want to force the player to interact with your screen only then add modal True property to screen - https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens. ... -statement
But don't forget to hide your screen

Code: Select all

screen scr_name():
    modal True
    imagebutton:
        idle "help1"
        hover "help2"
        xpos 313 ypos 3
        action [Jump("help3"), Hide("scr_name")]

The problem I have is that if I have them jump to that label which is in a different part of the code, once that interaction ends, it continues the story.
I basically want it to jump to the label and then jump back to the screen once it's finished. does "modal True" do just that?

I'm rather new to renpy but learning fast, so I may not be too helpful in my explanations, but I'll do my best.

I can manually tell the label to jump back to THAT specific screen again, but that seems rather tedious if I need A LOT of screens to go to that label.

You could use Call instead of Jump and include the screen name as an argument. I would say that if you need "A LOT" of screens to go to a particular label there's probably a better way of doing things. You say "remove the help3 image," does that mean you're only using the label to display an image? In that case you could display the image from the screen rather than jumping to a label.
