Passing control to a label via hyperlink?

[FamuFamu]

What the topic says. I'm trying to pass control of the game to another label after clicking a hyperlink. I found this old thread where they tried to do that, and the first solution works like a charm, but it also makes hyperlinks lose their style (You can still click them, but they look just like any other text).

So my question is of course: Is there any way to make control of the game pass to another label after clicking a hyperlink (Instead of getting back to the place where it was clicked in the first place after reaching a return statement)? Or at the very least how to use the code in that old thread without the hyperlink style changing?

Thanks in advance.

Check out:

You can have the clicked function handle jumping.

Sorry but, is there any function/value that would help me achieve that already included? Or do I need to create a special function for it?

You'd have to create a special function. Something like:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def hyperlink_styler(anchor):
        return style.hyperlink
    def hyperlink_clicked(anchor):
        renpy.jump(anchor)
    def hyperlink_hovered(anchor):
        return None

style default:
    hyperlink_functions (hyperlink_styler, hyperlink_clicked, hyperlink_hovered)

Worked perfectly, thanks!

An addition for anyone looking at this topic, the styling is pretty simple. Following the example given before you'd only need to either name a style "hyperlink" or replace "hyperlink" in return style.hyperlink with whatever you need.

Code: Select all

init python:
    style.hyperlink = Style(style.default)
    style.hyperlink.color = "#f00"
    style.hyperlink.size = 42
    def hyperlink_styler(anchor):
        return hyperlink
    def hyperlink_clicked(anchor):
        renpy.jump(anchor)
    def hyperlink_hovered(anchor):
        return None

style default:
    hyperlink_functions (hyperlink_styler, hyperlink_clicked, False)

This way the links would look like big red words.

Thanks again!

Thanks for that, it's a really big help!

Also, if anyone wants to just apply it to text in a certain screen, like the nvl screen, you can do something like this:

Code: Select all

## Need to set up the hyperlink style first.
init -1 python:
    style.hyperlink = Style(style.nvl_dialogue)
    style.hyperlink.color = "#c33"
    style.hyperlink.hover_color = "#c66"
    style.hyperlink.underline = True
    #style.hyperlink.size = 42
    def hyperlink_styler(anchor):
        return style.hyperlink
    def hyperlink_clicked(anchor):
        renpy.jump(anchor)
    def hyperlink_hovered(anchor):
        return None

-snip til you get to the text you want to change the hyperlink functions for-

                text what id what_id hyperlink_functions (hyperlink_styler,  hyperlink_clicked, False)

That code also shows how to have the text change color when you hover over it. Hope that helps someone.
