Hi,
I'm making a small VN, and I had a few people asking me if I can make it so that they can copy the text while playing the game and then paste it in Google Translate or something. Is that possible? Like a adding a button that copies the current text and adds it to the clipboard.
I think it will be a very useful function for everyone who's English is not good enough.
Thanks.

somewhere in the script:

Code: Select all

init python:
    import pygame.scrap
    def scrubs(what):
        pygame.scrap.put(pygame.SCRAP_TEXT, what.encode("utf-8"))
        renpy.notify("The text is now on the clipboard.")

and then just add to the say() screen:

Code: Select all

screen say(who, what):

    ###<body of the screen>
    
    if what:
        textbutton _('Copy into the clipboard') style 'quick_button' action Function(scrubs, what) at right
