Placing variable based values in a imagemap

[Dragonstar89]

I decided to add some sort of 'skills HUD' to the top left of the screen of my game, and it is basically an image with the words Strength: Charisma: and Study:.

I have it placed in the area I want it on the screen, the problem I'm facing is adding the values next to the right words. Basically, I want this HUD of sorts to show the player the character's stats without having to click through to some screen, etc.

I figured using an imagemap in a screen could do it, but I'm not very well informed on that section of Ren'py and would definitely appreciate any help what so ever. Attached is the image I'm using as the 'HUD':

ui_points_001.png (22.62 KiB) Viewed 1858 times

In a sort of diagonal way, I want the values for the Strength, Charisma, and Study points to show next to their respective names. Would anyone know how to do this? I know that showing the values only requires things like %(strength_pts)d but the problem is getting that to display within that 'screen.'

Again, any help would be highly appreciate. Thanks!

Not tested, but try to do it the way similar to imagemap save slots made, something like

Code: Select all

screen my_value:
    text v rotate 45

screen my_stat_imgmap:
    idle "img.png"
    hover "img.png"

    hotspot (100, 10, 50, 50) action None:
        use my_value(v=strength_var)
    hotspot (100, 70, 50, 50) action None:
        use my_value(v=charisma_var)
    hotspot (100, 130, 50, 50) action None:
        use my_value(v=study_var)

label start:
    $ strength_var = 3
    $ charisma_var = 5
    $ study_var = 10

    show screen my_stat_imgmap
    "?"

I've tried using your code, but I haven't got to see what the thing actually looks like because now when I run it (after doing some editing to your code because it originally was having problems) I continuously get this error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Any ideas as to why this is?

When you were editing the code, did you try something like:

screen my_value:
text "[v]" rotate 45

?

I just did now, but the rotate thing is still seen as an unknown argument to the string, so I removed it for the time being and now this is my current error:

Code: Select all

  File "renpy/common/00defaults.rpy", line 45, in _imagemap_auto_function
    rv = auto_param % variant
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

This is the code so far for the screen overlay:

Code: Select all

screen my_value:
    text "[v]" xpos 1.0

screen ptshud_overlay:

    imagemap:
        auto "ui/ui_points_001.png"
        ground "ui/ui_points_001.png"

        hotspot (100, 10, 50, 50) action None:
            use my_value(v=strength_pts)
        hotspot (100, 70, 50, 50) action None:
            use my_value(v=charisma_pts)
        hotspot (100, 130, 50, 50) action None:
            use my_value(v=study_pts)

Sorry, that's an image map thing and I know nothing about that

To get rotate working:

Code: Select all

transform rt:
    rotate 45
            
screen my_value:
    text "[v]" at rt

screen ptshud_overlay:
    vbox:
        spacing 20
        use my_value(v=a)
        use my_value(v=b)
        use my_value(v=c)

Thanks for the help everyone, I managed to do what I was aiming for

[Minuteman]

This is still work?
I want to put a variables to imagemap

imagemap:
hotspot (0, 0, 0, 0) action Jump("school"), SetVariable("date, True")
