A quick question

I have 4 image buttons




I want to make it so that when you press one of these buttons it shows an image, but it does NOT jump from the label, because otherwise I think it could be complicated.

How would it be possible to display an image when clicking on the button and when the player clicked on the screen or another button that I later added, it returned to the same position it was in before (I mean the text to the screen, etc) as if time had not advanced

I have 4 image buttons

The () is missing for all screen declarations.

, their absence "requires Ren'Py to be more conservative when analyzing the screen, which can limit the optimization it performs".

Why a screen by button ?
It clearly over complicate the code since you've to show/hide many screens every time, and also can't call them.

Why xanchor/yanchor in addition with xpos/ypos ?
The anchor are just adjusting the position you gave. You're positioning the button, then telling Ren'Py to change this position by half its width and half its height. Just position the button directly.
Anchors are for very specific cases. Mostly when you're dealing with multi elements displayable (fixed, label or textbutton) and have to modify the position of the embedded one.

Why action Show "statusd.png" ?

documentation is relatively explicit, "this causes another screen to be shown". And obviously, it don't works because... well, where are the parenthesis ?

There's not much right in the few lines of code you shown.

One of the many way to do this:

screen whatever():

    default shown = None

    if not shown is None:
        add shown xalign 0.5 yalign 0.5

    imagebutton:
        [positioning]
        auto "whatever%s.png"
        action SetScreenVariable( "shown", "whatever image.jpg" )

    imagebutton:
        [positioning]
        auto "whatever1%s.png"
        action SetScreenVariable( "shown", "whatever1 image.jpg" )

It's what

is for.

screen whatever():

    [...]

    textbutton "Close" action Return()

label whatever:
    call screen whatever
