Hi I'm a bit confused
Is the screen action the right way to make a button doing something on click?
I mean, I'm using an imagebutton so when I click on it I want a text to appear, do I have to call a screen with the text in it?

Code: Select all
screen menu():
text "Hello world!"

I mean in order to make an imagebutton works is that below the right way?
Code: Select all
imagebutton:
action: Jump("text")
screen text():
text "Hello world!"
Also I'm not understanding the difference between Call and Jump

Jump is for labels, call screen is used for calling screen before you continue to the novel.

That depends of what you trying to achieve.
This might be
Code: Select all
screen button_scr():
imagebutton:
align (0.3, 0.5)
idle "idle_img.png"
hover "hover_img.png"
action ToggleScreen("my_scr")
imagebutton:
align (0.7, 0.5)
idle "another_idle_img.png"
hover "another_hover_img.png"
action Show("another_scr")
screen my_scr():
text "Hello world!" align (0.5, 0.1)
screen another_scr():
timer 1.0 action Hide("another_scr")
text "Hello world!" align (0.5, 0.15)
label start:
"..."
show screen button_scr
"... ..."
"?!"

Thank you guys! So can I do something like below?
Code: Select all
screen button_1():
imagebutton:
action Jump("hello_world")
label start:
show screen button_1
label hello_world:
"Hello World"
So in my code I made a little inventory every item is an imagemap, I want that when I click on an item it gives for example +1 in thirsty

While you can, take in mind that showing screen won't stop Ren'Py from executing your code farther. So, the exact code you've posted will show your button screen and immediately run the 'hello_world' label (the next line of code).
