Item Pop-up Notification Help?

[HypersDev]

Hello!

I have a mini-game where you click on an object, and it adds it to your inventory. Although I want to add a feature where, when you click on the object, it plays a little animations next to the object, (a little +1) using a webm file, or something similar, although I can't figure out how to do it, as I cant figure out how to add a timer, add a transform / location of the file etc. Has anyone done anything like this before?

The solution depends of how you show objects for mini-game and how you arrange player's interaction with the game. If you'll provide the code you got, this definetly will help to suggest something more accurate.

You can try triggering a variable when the object is added to the inventory.

Code: Select all

image item add = Movie(...)
define item_add_dur = 0.25

screen test():
  default item_added = False
  
  textbutton "add" action [SetScreenVariable("item_added", True), ...]
  
  if item_added:
    add "item add" # show the anim...
    timer item_add_dur:
      action SetScreenVariable("item_added", False)

create a new screen called screen got_a_new_item():

this is a easy way of doing it:

Code: Select all

screen got_a_new_item():

    hbox:
        yalign 0.5
        xalign 0.5
        text "You got a new item"

and then anywhere in your game inside a label

Code: Select all

label f:
    e "Hello I wnat to buy this item"
    a "Okay, here you go, that will be $19.95"
    $ item += 1
    show screen got_a_new_item
    pause 0.5
    hide screen got_a_new_item
    e "Thank you."
    a "Please come again..."

Just to add to the other answers, you can use a timer with an action Hide("yourscreen") in the screen so that you won't have to copy and paste the pause and hide screen lines every time you show the screen. See: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#timer

Sure thing!

The mini-game in question is this one:

I want to make it so, once you click a fruit, it visibly shows a +1 fruit icon next to the fruit like a little pop-up.

How would I get this working with an animated image though? Can you use those in hboxs?

all you have to do is make the animation into a video webp

Code: Select all

screen got_a_new_item():

    hbox:
        yalign 0.5
        xalign 0.5
        add "anim/your_video.webp"
        text "You got a new item"

or this way but I never tested it so it might not work

Code: Select all

image anim:
    "images/dark/dark9.png"
    pause 0.1
    "images/dark/dark8.png"
    pause 0.1
    "images/dark/dark7.png"
    pause 0.1
    "images/dark/dark6.png"

Code: Select all

screen got_a_new_item():

    hbox:
        yalign 0.5
        xalign 0.5
        add anim
        text "You got a new item"

Well, you can make it like

Code: Select all

screen fruit_event:
    $ Peachx = [275, 1431, 867, 617, 993]
    $ Peachy = [294, 244, 108, 315, 297]
    $ MushroomX = [443, 90, 1595, 675, 1308]
    $ MushroomY = [949, 933, 775, 658, 594]
    for i in range(maxint):
        imagebutton: #(925, 961)
            xanchor 0.5
            yanchor 0.5
            xpos 925
            ypos 961
            idle "gui/misc/fruit_event_done.png"
            hover "gui/misc/fruit_event_done_hover.png"
            action [Jump("FruitText")]
            unhovered Hide("displayTextScreen")
        if fruit_bools[i] == False:
            if chance_random[i] == 1 or chance_random[i] == 2 or chance_random[i] == 3 or chance_random[i] == 4 or chance_random[i] == 5:
                # Make peach
                # code code code
            if chance_random[i] == 6 or chance_random[i] == 7 or chance_random[i] == 8 or chance_random[i] == 9 or chance_random[i] == 10:

                #code  code code

                        
        else: # <---
            add "plus_one" at plus_transform: # add your image, transform is optional,
                # positional properties are required
                xanchor 0.5
                yanchor 0.5

                if chance_random[i] == 6 or chance_random[i] == 7 or chance_random[i] == 8 or chance_random[i] == 9 or chance_random[i] == 10:
                    xpos MushroomX[i]
                    ypos MushroomY[i]
