Hello, I have an issue where I want to move the textbox window slightly to the side depending on if the side images are on or off. I was able to manage making it three separate buttons, but I would like to combine these somehow where if the side images are toggled on, the window is "offsettotheside" and if the side images are toggled off, the window is "centeredinthemiddle".

Here is my current code:

I read your text many times and still don't quite understand what it is you really want to do. Could you rephrase it please?

You can make a button make multiple things at once by just comma-separating the commands.

textbutton _("Show Side Images"):
   action ToggleField(...), StylePreference(...), etc.

Hi, thanks for the reply. The problem is, the ToggleField is a button that sets the side image to on or off through one click, but the other button, the style preference (which moves the textbox either [1] to the center or [2] to the side) has two options and needs two separate buttons right now. I can't think of a way to change between


If I set the StylePreference to the center and side image off/on, the textbox will remain in the center. I want it to go:
- side image on, set the textbox off to the side (top image)
- side image off, set the textbox centered in the middle (bottom image)

Can style preference alternate between 2 separate styles with one command?

Edit: alternatively, I'm following this post here regarding turning side images on/off:

Is there any way to split the toggle button into two separate buttons: an "on" button and an "off" button?

You can make a function which does what you want:
Or, if you wish, you can use SetField action instead of ToggleField

Code: Select all

init python:
    def set_window_style():
        if persistent.side_images:
            renpy.set_style_preference("window", "centeredinmiddle")
        else:
            renpy.set_style_preference("window", "offsettotheside")

# . . .
textbutton _("Show Side Images") selected persistent.side_images action [ToggleField(persistent, 'side_images'), Function(set_window_style)]

Or, if you wish, you can use SetField action instead of ToggleField

It works perfectly!! Thank you so much!
