Inventory imagebutton moving help.

[rereroa]

So, I'm currently trying to slide my imagebutton (which takes about half of the screen) to the side to show another.

Illustration included for a better idea:

Pink writings are just in for a better idea of movement; is not supposed to be in game.

I want it to move it right/left with keys, so i tried

Code: Select all

key "K_RIGHT" action moveoutright

But it's not working (duh). So is there a way to make the imagebuttons move side to side?

Longer ver. of code

Code: Select all

label inventory_screen:
screen inventory_screen:
    key "K_RIGHT" action moveoutright

    imagebutton:
        idle "images/icons/items/item_cat.png"
        action If("scene01 = true, Jump('item_cat_ko'), NullAction()")
        # trying to make another character in another scene react to the same item.
        else: "scene02"
        	action Jump("item_cat_da")
        	
#Perhaps the same thing for dog? 

label item_cat_ko:
    k "Nice drawing."
   
label item_cat_da
	d "I don't really like that drawing."
	
	
label item_dog_ko:
    k "Is that an anteater?"
    
  label item_dog_da:
    k "Err.. Sure mate."
	
    

I'm very new to python and renpy, so any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

first of all, those drawings are adorable!! cute uwu)/

second, do you want these images to appear at certain points during the script of the game (since you are talking about scenes),
or do you want the characters to react to the items of your inventory screen when clicked? I'm a bit confused about that.

Sorry, I'm not an expert on Ren'Py either but I do know some things ^^;;

Thanks so much! Haha

What I currently want to do is have an ace-attorney style inventory system where in the menu you can show the item to characters, and they will react to them.

I think I can manage doing the image appearing at certain points thing, but I can't seem to make
a) the imagebuttons move between items and
b) the imagebuttons make each character say their own little dialogue related to them.

Even though you say you're not an expert, I bet you know a whole lot more than me Thanks for trying to help!

Ok! I actually had to try it out first before posting it ^^;;

First, there are codes out there for an inventory system with more details and all that explain better how to make it, like this one. Second, I found this thread referring to a PW system, check it out here. Maybe it's more to your liking? ^^

I'll be honest and say I don't know how to make characters react to a certain items (like in PW), but I did manage to do the "images that appear at certain points of the script" but I'm not sure if it'll be useful. I used this code as a reference. I made it like this:

Code: Select all

screen cutescreen():
    imagebutton:
        idle "images/your-image-here.png"
        xpos 300 #position
        ypos 200 #position
        action Return("1") #the dialogue
        at your_animation
    imagebutton:
        idle "images/your-image-here2.png"
        xpos 300 #position
        ypos 400 #position
        action Return("2") #the dialogue
        at your_animation

Then, in the script, I put:

Code: Select all

label start:
    character1 "Hey, look at this!"
    call screen cutescreen
    if _return == "1":
        character2 "I think the number 1 deserves all the hate."
    if _return == "2":
        character2 "I think the number 2 deserves all the praise. But I hate it too."

Btw, the animation needs to be done with ATL, something like this:

Code: Select all

transform your_animation:
    on idle:
        xpos 300
    on hover:
        ease 0.5 xpos 100

I'm... not sure how to make the exact animation you want though ^^;;;

Just in case, here's a link to the Imagebutton ren'py documentation.

Again, I'm not sure if it'll help xD but here it is anyway ^^
