How to make an in game character creator?

[prince_lvcio]

like letting the player make their character like a picrew or somethin
or, if that's too complicated, how to just put up a menu of characters and let the player choose between them?

I have seen a lot of examples. Consider looking in Creative Commons, Ren'Py Cookbook, and other sections.

Here are some resources:

or, if that's too complicated, how to just put up a menu of characters and let the player choose between them?

Here is a simplified example with screen language (you can also find some other examples of screens with buttons in Ren'Py Cookbook or Ren'Py Questions and Announcements):

Code: Select all

screen select_character():
    default selected_character = None
    hbox:
        spacing 10
        frame:
            background ("#aaffff" if selected_character == "boy_00.png" else "#ffffff")
            imagebutton:
                idle "boy_00.png"
                action SetScreenVariable('selected_character', "boy_00.png")
        frame:
            background ("#aaffff" if selected_character == "boy_01.png" else "#ffffff")
            imagebutton:
                idle "boy_01.png"
                action SetScreenVariable('selected_character', "boy_01.png")
        frame:
            background ("#aaffff" if selected_character == "boy_02.png" else "#ffffff")
            imagebutton:
                idle "boy_02.png"
                action SetScreenVariable('selected_character', "boy_02.png")
    if selected_character != None:
        textbutton _("Select"):
            xalign 1.0 yalign 1.0
            action Return(selected_character)

default mc_image_name = 'boy_00.png'
image mc_image = "[mc_image_name]"

label start:
    call screen select_character
    $ mc_image_name = _return
    show mc_image at left
    "Character is selected!"
