Defining imagebuttons to stay on current screen [Solved]

[aoarashit]

Here's my code for my custom menu, the 'gore mode'.

Code: Select all

    ui.vbox(spacing=0, xalign=.5,yalign=.45, xmaximum=392, ymaximum=177)
    
    ui.imagebutton("imagebu/bthomas1.png", "imagebu/bthomas2.png", clicked=ui.returns(1)) 
    ui.imagebutton("imagebu/dithomas1.png", "imagebu/dithomas2.png", clicked= ui.returns(2))

    ui.close()
    result= ui.interact()
    if result==1:        
        persistent.gore= True

    if result==2:
        persistent.gore= False

return

It does work all right, but got a few problems.
Once I click on a option, I want the buttons to stay on its activated state(Like the preference screen), so that players can see what they chose in case they forgot. I don't want return to the game screen once I click on an option. I want to stay on the current screen, with the buttons activated.

I added selected_activate_image and insensitive_image and other image related in the imagebutton properties it does not work.
Also tried jump with a new label; pretty much the same. Would be great if I get this out of my mind.. I still have tons of CG to do.(still have save/load screen problem, hope I get an answer while working on other things )

You can use if and jump back to the label after the ui.interact like so:

Code: Select all

label some_screen:
    python:
        ui.vbox(spacing=0, xalign=.5,yalign=.45, xmaximum=392, ymaximum=177)
        if persistent.gore:
            ui.textbutton("True Image", ui.returns(False))#this is a textbutton but you can use this concept for imagebutton as well.
        elif not persistent.gore:
            ui.textbutton("False Image", ui.returns(True))
        ui.textbutton("Return to game", ui.jumps("return_to_game"))

        ui.close()
        persistent.gore= ui.interact()
    jump some_screen
    
label return_to_game:
    return

Thank you so much, JQuartz!

I get this weirdest error when I put jump some_screen into my code.
When I select the 'gore mode' option from the menu screen and into the game, my in-game images(xcept the background) completely disappears into nowhere. And when I right-click the menu screen(the screen when you first start the game) shows instead of the load screen. When I don't go into the gore mode and start the game, the game works fine. Is it because I use ui.images for displaying my in-game CGs? Why do I get this error?

And sorry for being such a nuisance, I tried tinkering with your code to make this sort of screen..

but was unsuccessful on it. What I tried to do was write the if/elif code two times and switch the ui.returns functions. Am I on the right track? Doesn't feel like it;

Strum should see this...

Yes. But since you need to ui.callsinnewcontext this screen, the images(including the bg) isn't supposed to stay.

And when I right-click the menu screen(the screen when you first start the game) shows instead of the load screen.

I think it's cause you jump to the some_screen instead of renpy.call_in_new_context. If you jump then you should jump back instead of using return.
