Hotspots and/or Image maps

#1 Post by Becky »

Hi all, Ive recently started using Ren'Py after 5 or 6 months due computer and health issues and back then I had worked hotspots out. Now Ive got the latest Ren'py and because a lot of things have changed I am unsure if that is my issue. Going through here and google Ive wound up this.

Code: Select all

screen kitchen:
    imagemap:
        ground "kitchen_ground"
        hover "kitchen_hover"
        hotspot (219, 75, 143, 96) clicked "jump map"
Now before I got to that result I got indentation errors, expect errors, not a something error, need more coffee error (oops that was me) which is fantastic, I love errors, gives me something to work with. Issue is now I am getting nothing, Ren'Py is ignoring it just like the #notes. Does not matter where I put the code, I get no dodgy image or the hotspot. Anyone know why? (please)

Edit - This question is null and void, Ive worked out how to do it, Ive just got it displaying in the wrong spot atm and I am unsure how I got it to work. Its near midnight my time and I need zzzz soon. Tomorrow my time I'll post my findings in case someone else ever reads this.

You didn't put your quotation marks In the right place and didn't tell the hotspot to jump to the place you wanted it to.

Code: Select all

screen kitchen:
    imagemap:
        ground "kitchen_ground"
        hover "kitchen_hover"
        hotspot (219, 75, 143, 96) action Jump ('map') ## It should look like this
I personally use 'action' rather than 'clicked' but I think 'clicked' works too.

hope this helped ^^
