Have text show with imagebutton click?

[renpyhelp]

I'd like some small text to show up when clicking on an image button. Sounds simple enough, but I can't figure it out.

something simple as:

p "I can't do that right now."

You can use Notify screen action.

Code: Select all

imagebutton idle "button.png":
    action Notify("I can't do that right now.")

I'd do it differently. "I can't do that right now" doesn't really belong in a notify window, but a say window, unless its an information blurb.

In any case, here's one way to do it.

Try this:

Code: Select all

screen my_button():
    modal False
    hbox:
        xpos #
        ypos #

        imagebutton blah blah action Call("beam_me_up_scottie")


label start:
    e "I'm talking"
    show screen my_button


    return

label beam_me_up_scottie:
    P "I can't do that right now."
    return

Agreed. Notify should be used for system messages, like "screenshot taken" or "quicksave done".

That was some big help! But I do have a problem... The last "scene" picture I used takes place of the screen and imagebuttons oddly enough. I don't really know how to avoid that. Once I hit enter to pass the text I put in, it goes back to the screen, but I can't have it work unless I specifically tell it to show the screen image and imagebutton image within the label.

Hope that makes sense.

My apologies, when you said small text I misunderstood thinking you wanted to show a small information blurb, didn't realize you wanted a dialogue window, even though I should have, thank you Milkymalk and Imperfekt I completely agree, again I'm really sorry .
