I saw an older post for making a character select screen using image maps. I made one using imagebuttons that might be better and more flexible in the long run.

Here is the code for the main screen

Code: Select all

screen CharacterSelect():
    tag CharSelection
    label "Choose your Character" xalign 0.5
    hbox:
        yalign 0.70
        xalign 0.5
        imagebutton auto "Eileen %s" yalign 1.0 action Call("EileenDes")
        imagebutton auto "Sylvie %s" yalign 1.0 action Call("SylvieDes")

Here is the code for the confirmation screen

Code: Select all

screen CharacterProfile(pic, name, gender, orientation, description):
    tag CharSelection
    style_prefix "CharProfile"
    default Pronoun = "Her"
    if gender == "Male":
        $ Pronoun = "Him"

    hbox:
        yalign 0.5
        xalign 0.5
        spacing 40

        add pic
        vbox:
            yalign 0.25
            xmaximum 0.25
            grid 2 3:
                text "Name:"
                text name
                text "Gender:"
                text gender
                text "Orientation:"
                text orientation
            text "Description: [description]"
            text "Do you want to choose [Pronoun]?"
            hbox:
                textbutton "Yes" action Return()
                textbutton "No" action Jump("Selection")

Here is the code for the images

Code: Select all

layeredimage Eileen:
	<Insert image data>

image Eileen idle = At("Eileen", darken)
image Eileen hover = "Eileen"

layeredimage Sylvie:
	<Insert image data>

image Sylvie idle = At("Sylvie", darken)
image Sylvie hover = "Sylvie"

Here is the code for the variables for each character.

Code: Select all

define EileenName = "Eileen"
define EileenGender = "Female"
define EileenOrientation = "Unknown"
define EileenDescription = "Ren'py's Mascot."

define SylvieName = "Sylvie"
define SylvieGender = "Female"
define SylvieOrientation = "Unknown"
define SylvieDescription = "a girl from The Question."

And this the code you need to add to your main script.

Code: Select all

label Selection:

    $ show_quick_menu = False
    call screen CharacterSelect
    jump 

label EileenDes:
    $ show_quick_menu = True
    hide screen CharacterSelect
    call screen CharacterProfile("Eileen", EileenName, EileenGender, EileenOrientation, EileenDescription)
    $ Playing = "Eileen"
    jump objectives

label SylvieDes:
    $ show_quick_menu = True
    hide screen CharacterSelect
    call screen CharacterProfile("Sylvie", SylvieName, SylvieGender, SylvieOrientation, SylvieDescription)
    $ Playing = "Sylvie"
    jump objectives

label objectives:
    hide screen CharacterProfile

    if Playing == "Eileen":
        show Eileen
        "Eileen's goal is to show you how to make a VN."
    elif Playing == "Sylvie":
        show Sylvie
        "Sylvie's goal is to be an artist for a VN."
    return

Feedback is always appreciated.
