Buttons for submenu [Solved]

[senisanti]

Hi Friends

I want to create buttons that redirect me to "submenu"

I have already created a little button that allows players to "leave the game"
and i want the submenu button to be in the same style

I'll put a small example of what i did because i dont know if i explain myself correctly and my inglish isnt very good

screen buttonoff:
vbox xalign 0.99 yalign 0.02:
spacing 20
imagebutton auto "ICON/buttonoff_%s.png":
action Call("bye")

label bye:
$ renpy.quit(False,0)

label start:
show screen buttonoff

above what i did for what i call the button "leave the game"
and below what i'm trying to do to offer the player a "submenu"

screen buttonchar:
vbox xalign 0.99 yalign 0.20:
spacing 20
imagebutton auto "ICON/buttonchar":
action Call("CHAR/jimena.png")

label start:
show screen buttonchar

what comes after action is for me unknown, i find all this on a tutorial but i dont understand what come after action and options that i may have.
I wish that the player can click the button at any time in the game and return to where he was in the game when he closes this menu.

I dont know how to finish this block and get what i want
I searched a lot and tried a lot of solution compared to what i already know but i dont succeed
in the tutorial renpy or youtube that i find i dont find the method i need and i dont really know where looking for again
if someone here knows the solution and can explain it to me i would be very grateful

sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance

You don't call an image, like you do. What the code needs (and you want, if I understand you correctly) is to call a screen. You'll need to make that screen where you'll eventually put that image (and whatever content you want) and call it with the button.

[senisanti]

I still dont understand!
I dont know how to put in screen or image.
If i do,

Action Call ("screen characters")

it doesnt work, i dont know how i should proceed

and if i tried a lot of different possibility i do it randomly because i dont know why it should not be like i did
if i find or if you show me the solution i'll not know how to go back to the moment of the story when "player" has to click on the button characters

please, i know it's certainly very simple todo but i'm lost, obviously i'm going to say, "Ah goodness it's so easy" when i'm going to have the solution, but I'm starting all that and much things very often escape me

This is the reference for what you can put after the keyword action (not exclusive, but contains a lot): https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_actions.html

You probably want to use that function instead: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/statemen ... renpy.show

to do so, you will have to pass by an intermidiary Function:

Code: Select all

action Function(renpy.show,"CHAR/jimena.png") 

It should work. If you want to use transform, just add them in a list after the picture name:

Code: Select all

action Function(renpy.show,"CHAR/jimena.png", [right]) 

Also, in general, you might want to define picture you use often like so: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displaya ... ml?#images

Code: Select all

# this is outside of any label, generally before the start label:
image Jimena = "CHAR/jimena.png"

It will be easier to use in general that way too.

[senisanti]

I dont understand, i studied the links you gave me, i did what you told me with Function.
the command i was looking for is, "hide"
I added the hide for close, i add the image of jimena and i put the line with function, but i receives an error code, i dont understand

I put the code below if someone succeeds in helping me, thank you!

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I would need your screen code to be able to understand all that, if not the whole code. Also, I speak french so if you want to continue that discussion in french, pm me.

[senisanti]

thank you so much nature1996 and Matalla too

i've found my problem

the first; CHAR, i put my img in the folder CHAR in the folder image and that dont work
