Keeping current scene when using jump command [Solved]

[Strum]

Hi, sorry but I got another question. Is there a way to keep the current background when jumping to another part of the program by jumping to another label. Take a look at the attachments to see what I mean. I want to call up a menu screen while retaining the current scene as the background. But ren'py will always delete the current image when it moves on to the next lable via the jump command.

sounds like you might wanna use the callsinnewcontext inside of jump. that'll bring the menu up over the current gameplay.

edit: also make sure that the images are transparent else they will show up the same as in your current result!!

Thank you very much, that's just the function I've been looking for. Another lesson learned, well time for me to plod on with the game.

I've been trying all morning to make a frame like you've already got enabled on your bottom screenshot ... (’-’*) Did you use imagemaps or place the buttons differently?

Is there a premade frame with buttons on the Wiki already? I don't need graphics (I can make those), just a general idea of the code.

I just used a code posted by PyTom to make those in game buttons

Code: Select all

# This file adds a number of buttons to the lower-right hand corner of
# the screen. Three of these buttons jump to the game menu, which
# giving quick access to Load, Save, and Prefs. The fourth button
# toggles skipping, to make that more convenient.

init:

    # Give us some space on the right side of the screen.
    $ style.window.right_margin = 100

    python:

        def toggle_skipping():
            config.skipping = not config.skipping

        def button_game_menu():

            # to save typing
            ccinc = renpy.curried_call_in_new_context

            ui.vbox(xpos=0.98, ypos=0.98, xanchor='right', yanchor='bottom')
            ui.textbutton("Skip", clicked=toggle_skipping)
            ui.textbutton("Save", clicked=ccinc("_game_menu_save"))
            ui.textbutton("Load", clicked=ccinc("_game_menu_load"))
            ui.textbutton("Prefs", clicked=ccinc("_game_menu_preferences"))
            ui.close()


        config.overlay_functions.append(button_game_menu)

You just need to change the textbuttons to imagebuttons.

Gotta remember this thread. Easier if I post for future reference. Thanks!

I'll just use this thread instead of making a new one: what's the appropriate method of turning

Code: Select all

 ui.textbutton("Skip", clicked=toggle_skipping)

into an imagebutton within the game menu on the textbox?

I found this: http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... magebutton but I'm not sure how to embed that with the ui.interact function too ...

Don't know if you still need this since you posted 2 days ago, but try...

Code: Select all

ui.imagebutton("skipA.png", "skip.png", clicked=toggle_skipping)

Yeah, I actually bookmarked this thread... thanks, I'll try that out when I make a skipbutton.png.
