I need help with imagebuton

[Deleted member 1831844]

I just found out about this yesterday, so I know nothing about it.
I have 2 buttons on my screen, which I added with something like
screen blahblah():
vbox ..... spacing...
imagebutton:
action
imagebutton:
action
show screen blahblah

Ok, now I have 2 buttons on my screen, I can click on them and they will do their actions.
But I want to hide one of the imagebutton after clicking on it. is it possible? I can do this only by adding each of the buttons with their own screen.
And the second question. Is it possible to have a different action on the first click, second, third and so on? Or I'll have to hide the used button and put a new one , with a different action, in its place.

Maybe this could help:

default button1_var = 0
default button2_var = 0


screen blahblah:
     vbox:
          spacing 20

          if button1_var == 0:
               imagebutton auto "button1_%s.png" focus_mask True action SetVariable("button1_var", +1), Jump("label_1")

          imagebutton auto "button2_%s.png" focus_mask True action SetVariable("button2_var", +1), Jump("label_2")        


label label_1:
    "..."

label label_2:
     if button2_var == 1:
          "..."
     if button2_var == 2:
          "..."
     if button2_var == 3:
          "..."

"button1_var" controls whether the first button is displayed or not; if the variable is not 0 it will not be displayed anymore.

"button2_var" controls the action of the second button; when it jumps to a label, depending on its value, one thing or another happens.

Thank you, I’ll try to figure it out somehow.
And I have another question.
There is a sequence of scenes a1-a10, in a scene a1 appears a button with an action X, in scene a10 it disappears. I want to make it so that if I press button at any time between a1-a10, I will be shown this action X, and after I would return at the moment of pressing a button. Button is disappearing.
My blunt solutuion is:

screen ButtonX():
    imagebutton:
        xalign 1.0
        yalign 0.0
        idle "image.png" hover "inageh.png"
        action Show("ActionX")

screen ActionX():
    modal True #I don't know what is this, but I saw it in the example
    imagemap:
        ground "ActionX.png"
        hotspot(entire screen) action Hide("ActionX")

Maybe...

screen actionX:
     imagebutton auto "button_actionX_%s.png" focus_mask True action Call("DoActionX")  ### Making a "call" will return you to the previous point where you were

label myscene:
     show screen actionX   ### shows the screen
     scene image_a1
     "..."
     scene image_a2
     "..."
     scene image_a3
     "..."
     scene image_a4
     "..."
     scene image_a5
     "..."
     scene image_a6
     "..."
     scene image_a7
     "..."
     scene image_a8
     "..."
     scene image_a9
     "..."
     scene image_a10
     "..."
     hide screen actionX   ### hides the screen


label DoActionX:
     "...."   ## the X action
     return

Not tested

BTW, "modal True" is to prevent the player from clicking outside the "screen"; in your case you are not interested since you want the player to be able to follow the sequence, whether or not that player presses the screen button.

Thanks again, but its not working. Dut I managed to do it with my "stone Age" method.

screen ButtonX():
    imagebutton:
        xalign 1.0
        yalign 0.5
        idle "bl.png" hover "blh.png"
        action Call("ActionX")#I didn't know that a Call could do this.
        
show screen ButtonX
scene a1-a10
hide screen ButtonX

label ActionX():
    show 334
    with dissolve
    hide screen ButtonX
    $ choices.append("choice")
    "Blah Blah"
    hide 334
    return

Well, I couldn't test it, but the code you wrote is more or less the same, different ways of writing it

 

[Porcus Dev]

Maybe the problem was not hiding the screen shown

screen actionX:
     imagebutton auto "button_actionX_%s.png" focus_mask True action Hide("actionX"), Call("DoActionX")

0o

That jump("label_1") is something I have been looking for...

Can you actually do a jump from inside a screen?

jump is like "go there never comeback"... I think.

I mean; if I do a call screen from within a label and then I use jump to go to another label would that work?

     imagebutton auto "button_actionX_%s.png" focus_mask True action Call("DoActionX")  ### Making a "call" will return you to the previous point where you were

Call should return you outside of the screen. But among the possible workaround, there's this one :

screen a1():
     # Pass the name of the actual screen as parameter.
     imagebutton auto "button_actionX_%s.png" focus_mask True action Call( "DoActionX", "a1" )

screen a2():
     imagebutton auto "button_actionX_%s.png" focus_mask True action Call( "DoActionX", "a2" )
[...]
screen a10():
     imagebutton auto "button_actionX_%s.png" focus_mask True action Call( "DoActionX", "a10" )

[...]
label DoActionX( retScreen ):
    # It need to be a called label because of the parameter.
    # But this imply that we need to remove the return point
    # from the stack.
    $ renpy.pop_call()
    # Then the scene play as usual.
    scene whatever
    "blablabla"
    [...]
    # And finally we return to the screen.
    # /call screen/ do not works with an /expression/, therefore
    # the Python equivalent is needed.
    $ renpy.call_screen( retScreen )

I mean; if I do a call screen from within a label and then I use jump to go to another label would that work?

Yes. Like I said the other time, called screen aren't like called label. They don't generate a return point, they just wait until something send the game outside of the screen ; generally it's either a

Another question, maybe there is an easy way to add a text near a button when it's hovered?

I tried to do it with mtt.Action ( I have no idea what is it, but I saw how it works ) but it didn't work for me.
