[SOLVED] Customizing In-Game Menu position?

#1 Post by Mangescom »

Hi

I have the following problem:
In my game, the player has 3 possible answers to the given question.
If I define this as a menu they are all centered.
I want them to look like in the picture (yellow part).

I already read "how to customize menus" and couldn't find anything about position...
Shall I do this with imagebuttons?

In the screens.rpy file you should find the choice screen, there you just have to change the style of the buttons:

Code: Select all

if action:

    button:
        action action
        style "menu_choice_button" # Use this style to customize your buttons

        text caption style "menu_choice"

As mobychan told you. Open your 'screens.rpy' in your text editor. Go to 'screen choice'. Try tweaking some values there. Look for these lines I have commented:

Code: Select all

screen choice:

    window:
        style "menu_window"
        xalign 0.75 # try changing this
        yalign 0.5 # optionally, you can change the yalign too

Code: Select all

    style menu_choice_button is button:
        xminimum int(config.screen_width * 0.45) # try changing this
        xmaximum int(config.screen_width * 0.45) # and this

No, sorry! You must be mistaking me for someone else.
