How to set up a layered image map

[Ryder]

I am trying to set up an imagemap in Renpy, where I have a number of buttons, each which will trigger different action. That part I can do.

However, I also want to be able to delete buttons, depending on earlier choices. For example, in the initial imagemap, there will be six buttons, each of which triggers certain results. On of the results will be that the button, and the triggered event, will be deleted and no longer available, unless some other choice is later made which brings it back.

What's the best way to do this? I can layer buttons in separate png images over the base image, but I can't figure out how to manipulate the imagemap to remove the triggers if the button is deleted. I could probably manage this by calling different screens, depending on which buttons have been deleted, but that seems clumsy.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can just use an if clause in the screen. You can also use imagebuttons instead if you'd prefer.

Code: Select all

screen blah():
    imagemap:
        # set images
        if var:
            hotspot # add various shit
        else:
            hotspot # add various other shit
    if var:
        imagebutton # stuff

You can use the action SensitiveIf() to control which hotspots are active and which ones are disabled:
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_a ... ensitiveIf

Code: Select all

default var = 1
screen test5():
    imagemap:
        ground Solid("#880", xysize=(310,110))
        idle Solid("#ff0", xysize=(310,110))
        hover Solid("#800", xysize=(310,110))
        hotspot (10,10,90,90) action [SensitiveIf(var==1), SetVariable("var", 2)]
        hotspot (110,10,90,90) action [SensitiveIf(var==2), SetVariable("var", 1)]
        hotspot (210,10,90,90) action [SensitiveIf(var==1), SetVariable("var", 2)]

Thank you. Those solutions both look great. Much appreciated.
