Making an auto read button

[Endorphin]

Good evening~

Okay, first of all:
I'm really sorry for asking two questions a day.
I just tried so many ways at this thing and didn't find the right one that I'm really desperate now.

However, this is the code:

Code: Select all

show_auto_button = True
    
    def auto_button():
        
        if show_auto_button:
            
            ui.hbox(xpos=690, xalign=0, ypos=559, yalign=0)
            ui.imagebutton("auto1.png", "auto2.png", clicked=dunnowhattoinserthere)
            ui.close()
                
    config.overlay_functions.append(auto_button)     

I know the code for changing the auto read speed, but I don't know the one for activating it.
[I also found the one for skipping, which was toggle_skipping, but I'm afrait I overlooked this one. x_x"]

Thank you for your patience~

I'm sorry, I'm afrait I don't quite get it.
Where do I have to insert it?
Instead of the code I posted? =o
[Because it's missing the clickable area then.]
Would there be a way to keep the used pictures?

Well, thank you for your help anyway. ♥
I might get it someday.
(The day when I finally start to understand logical thinking.)

No, you're right, it is. I brain-farted, and forgot to make it an imagebutton:

Code: Select all

screen auto_button:
     imagebutton: 
         idle "auto1.png"
         hover "auto2.png"
         xpos 690 ypos 559 
         action Preference("auto-forward mode", "toggle")

To show it, use:

Code: Select all

show screen auto_button

To hide it, use:

Code: Select all

hide screen auto_button

Oh, so it is possible, huh?
Ren'Py sure is amazing. *-*

However, this kinda gets me an error.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Exception: Preference('auto-forward mode', 'toggle') is unknown.

While running game code:

I wonder why it doesn't know it?

Grr... serves me right for trying to go for memory. It's

Code: Select all

Preference("auto-forward", "toggle")

Sorry about that.

[Endorphin]

Thank you! x3
Still, it's amazing that you know all of this by memory! =)
(I always forget codes. xD)

There aren't errors now. ♥
But there also happens nothing when I press the button - the message doesn't change. =o
(It looks like making an auto read button is pretty complicated. >.<)
