"Clicked" actions

[Glazed Donuts]

Is there a way to assign several actions to trigger when the user clicks an image button? For example, I would like for a variable to change as well as the image to disappear when the button is clicked:

imagebutton:
idle "sozai/ui/clicked1.png"
hover "sozai/ui/clicked2.png"
clicked (($myPoints += 1), Remove(this)) #Add +1 to $myPoints and delete imagebutton afterwards when you click
xpos 58 ypos 545
xanchor 0 yanchor 0

Would the above be valid? if not, is there a way to do this correctly with RenPy?

You can use a list as the argument to clicked. For the first part, the obvious thing is to use SetVariable("myPoints", myPoints + 1).

The hiding part is more interesting. Showing/hiding occurs at the screen level, not the button one. So you'd have to set a second variable that controls if the imagebutton is shown or not.

Code: Select all

screen foo:
    if canAddPoint:
        imagebutton:
            idle "sozai/ui/clicked1.png"
            hover "sozai/ui/clicked2.png"
            clicked [ SetVariable("myPoints", myPoints + 1), SetVariable("canAddPoint", False) ]
            xpos 58 ypos 545
            xanchor 0 yanchor 0

Thank you, PyTom!! This worked great! This is exactly what I'm looking for!

Be careful, aoSky, that post is 7 years old. Better learn how thinks are done today. For example, don't use "clicked" but "action".

Hi guys,
Sorry for the necroposting but I read the last message and I realize i've always wonder what was the difference beteween the old "cliked" and the new "action" in the image map, image button etc.

It's important for me to understand because I have almost ten thousand line of code using the "clicked" fonction and it still works but I want to know if I absolutly need to modify every "cliked" fonction by "action".

If you guys are still around, thank you to tell me what exactly are the differences between this two things.

You can check it out in the renpy documentation, since this post is old, i think the new action is better and easier rather than a hard, old code.

Thank you for this advice but your answer is not really relevant since it's seem you don't know anything about it, like me, exept one is newer than the other, like i already said.

As you don't post any link about the renpy documentation maybe than, like me, your didn't read anything about it. Beacause obviously, before posting here , i've searched in the documentation without any result.

I think the explanation I'am looking for is somewhere in a renpy changlog information about the changes between two renpy version but I can't find this anywhere in this : https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/changelog.html. So that's why I wrote this message.

There isn't a difference. At some point, clicked was renamed to action, as the action can be triggered in different ways (like using a keyboard key, touch screen, or game controller), other than clicking on it. It also makes the action argument to a button the same as other things that have actions (timers and events come to mind).

Thank you! That make sense! I was suspected something like this since I didn't find any difference in the changelog.
Sorry again for the necroposting ^^
