Imagebutton Instructions

[galadain]

Can someone point me in the right direction for up-to-date instructions and/or tutorials for how to use Imagebuttons (or something similar if they aren't used anymore)? Everything I've found on the forums is at least a year or two old.

Still used, still quite simple.

You can do the auto thing but the simplest instruction is:

Code: Select all

imagebutton:
    idle "images/someimage.png" #this is the button
    pos (20,50) #this is the x,y position of the button
    action NullAction() #what happens when you click the button, this means nothing will happen

You need at least an idle and a hover image for imagebutton.

Though originally created in 2013 and updated in 2017, this post still shows how imagebuttons work.

hover is optional

Ah, you're right. I can't seem to find any mention of requiring both idle and hover in the official documentation or the tutorial game.

I think my confusion comes from https://fuckyeahrenpy.tumblr.com/post/9 ... -main-menu which I read about five years ago.

You MUST have “idle” and “hover” in the file names for the button images or else they will NOT work properly!

This only applies if you're using the "auto" property.

Carry on!
