I know this is a very common question, but whenever I look around for examples, they include additional things like money and stats that add to the complexity.
So my goal is this. To make a list of items. The items consist of a name, an image, and a description. The items are added to the list at certain points in the story.
When the player clicks on one of the item names, it shows the image and description in the frames.
Think Ace Attorney.
Here's my current code.
Code: Select all
screen inventory():
tag menu
use game_menu(_("Inventory")):
vpgrid:
cols 1
spacing 5
draggable True
mousewheel True
scrollbars "vertical"
side_xalign 0.0
for i in range(1, 2):
frame:
textbutton _("Autopsy") xysize (300, 25):
if itemshow = false:
action Show("Autopsy")
else:
action Hide("Autopsy")
#Pic
frame:
xalign 1.0
yalign 0.0
xysize (250, 250)
#Description
frame:
xalign 1.0
yalign 1.0
xysize (600, 300)
Here's what the screen looks like.
I appreciate any help and nudges. Thanks.

I've posted some code in this question that might give you an idea how to show the images and description.
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=49216
I have textbuttons on the left and hovering shows "chapentry" on the right (in my case label, text, image).
Ignore the many style definitions to get a rough idea.

Thanks for the input.
Unfortunately I still have no idea what I'm looking at.
