Random Main Menu Background

[clannadman]

I've tried myself and failed with this. I'm trying to implement it so the main menu background is randomly chosen each time out of several. Any idea how to do this in screens?

How do you implement the main menu background in screens? Something with imagemap?

If so, just an idea, store the ground, idle, hover images in variables with fixed initial values.

Code: Select all

screen main_menu:
    $ grounds = "map_ground.jpg"
    $ hovers = "map_hover.jpg"

Then pick a random number from 1 to as many as the available background images, say 5.

Code: Select all

$ random = renpy.random.randint(1,5)

Then change the grounds and hovers according to the result

Code: Select all

    if(random == 2):
        $ grounds = "map2_ground.jpg"
        $ hovers = "map2_hover.jpg"
    elif(random == 3):
        $ grounds = "map3_ground.jpg"
        $ hovers = "map3_hover.jpg"
    elif(random == 4):
        $ grounds = "map4_ground.jpg"
        $ hovers = "map4_hover.jpg"        
    elif(random == 5):
        $ grounds = "map5_ground.jpg"
        $ hovers = "map5_hover.jpg"      

In the imagemap part, the ground and hover image are declared like so

Code: Select all

imagemap:
    ground grounds
    hover hovers

    # hotspots...

Something like this?
