Imagemap or what?

#1 Post by iDweadith »

So guys, I have a question
In my game I want a character in the mid of the screen, but also, I want that on click on the character it opens a menu with choices and I don't know what's the best way to do that, imagebutton, imagemap?

The image has a transparent png background

You can do this with a plain button

Code: Select all

screen openmenu():
    button area(144, 253, 51, 87) action Jump("menu")
You decide where on the game screen you put the button and its width and height (x, y, w, h). The button can cover the whole character or part of it as you chose.

To be honest, an image button would be easier / more convenient - you can set focus_mask to True and only the non-alpha regions of the image will respond, allowing for more shapes than just a rectangle
