Ren'Py Is there an equivilent of ToggleVariable for images?

[MissFortune]

I'm trying to add a toggle for a thin, decorative frame around the VN/renders. I already have an on/off imagebutton/switch ready. Just can't seem to find/figure out the code that would be necessary.

I have the basic ToggleVariable set up:

imagebutton:
            xpos 930
            ypos 240
            idle "images/menu/ui/eatui/off.png"
            hover "images/menu/ui/eatui/off.png"
            selected_idle "images/menu/ui/eatui/on.png"
            selected_hover "images/menu/ui/eatui/on.png"
            focus_mask True
            action ToggleVariable("screenframevar", True, False), Play("sound", "music/confirm.wav")
            selected (screenframevar)

which looks something like this:



But the On/Off don't seem to register at all, which is why I'm asking. Feels like I'm missing something fairly obvious.

What's not happening as you expected? The On/Off button isn't toggling?

idle and hover should accept a displayable as it's parameter.

That being the case, you should then be able to use

to pick which version of the image to display.

Something like :-

image on_off_idle = ConditionSwitch(
    "screenframevar = True", "images/menu/ui/eatui/off_idle.png",
    "True", "images/menu/ui/eatui/on.png_idle" )
image on_off_hover = ConditionSwitch(
    "screenframevar = True", "images/menu/ui/eatui/off_hover.png",
    "True", "images/menu/ui/eatui/on_hover.png" )

# --- elsewhere in your code...

imagebutton:
    xpos 930
    ypos 240
    idle on_off_idle
    hover on_off_hover
    action { ToggleVariable("screenframevar", True, False), Play("sound", "music/confirm.wav") }

btw... you don't need idle AND hover if the hover image is the same as the idle image.

Maybe (I'm unable to test code at the moment) - so you may need to tweak it a bit.

Because you are looking in the wrong direction.

One way could be:

screen whatever():

        imagebutton:
            xpos 930
            ypos 240
            if screenframevar:
                idle "images/menu/ui/eatui/on.png"
                hover "images/menu/ui/eatui/on.png"
            else:
                idle "images/menu/ui/eatui/off.png"
                hover "images/menu/ui/eatui/off.png"
            action ToggleVariable("screenframevar", True, False), Play("sound", "music/confirm.wav")
            selected (screenframevar)

But I show it only as example, and only because it can come handy for other situation.


The effective way to do it is to rely on a radically different approach, textbutton.
You use the textbutton itself to display the label, and rely on the "

" property to display the button accordingly to the right

. A bit of styling (offset and all), and it's done.

I can't test right now, but it's something that would looks like this:

style myRadio is button:
    background "images/menu/ui/eatui/off.png"
    selected_background "images/menu/ui/eatui/on.png"

style myRadio_text is button_text:
    yoffset -5

screen whatever():
        textbutton "NTR":
            xpos 930
            ypos 240
            style "myRadio"
            action ToggleVariable("screenframevar", True, False), Play("sound", "music/confirm.wav")
            selected (screenframevar)

Hello, I'm embarrassed to post here. I don't have the level of expertise of Anne and 79, and maybe I didn't fully understand the problem, but why don't you use an auto ImageButton?

imagebutton auto "images/menu/ui/eatui/off_%s.png" action ToggleVariable("screenframevar", True, False) Play("sound", "music/confirm.wav")

Use these names for your images:

off_hover
off_idle
off_selected_hover
off_selected_idle

I might be saying something silly, so please don't pay much attention to my message... I'll just go quickly.

It isn't silly, at the opposite, and I don't see a reason why it wouldn't works.
