Ren'Py Need a coder to help with a simple task

[Erros]

Hi,

I'm in dire need of a python coder who's good with ren'py.
I'm creating a game and there is a feature that i want to add, but i didn't manage to make it work like i wanted.

Basically what i want to do is hide an imagebutton somewhere in my scene and when you click and this image it unlocks a special image in the gallery.

I have already have a working gallery, but the code that i made for the imagebutton doesn't work/appear in the game and i don't have errors that can point out where is the mistake i have made.

So if you know how to code something like that, i would be glad to receive your help.
If you can do it just for one image, i should be able to reproduce it later by myself.

I'll be really thankfull to you.

Could you just use an image that was only transparency, then you just have a normal screen click button image right?

After a good night of sleep, i had an idea that i tested and it's a success. I should be able to do it alone (maybe), but i'll have to rewrite most of my code to make it work correctly.

Essentially, this is how I see most games do it. Load the background picture, then the foreground picture you want with the secret clickable object.

Another thing I can think of, would be to have a list of coordinates [Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right] and associate it to a specific screen. It's basically a square that you would draw on the appropriate screen. This would be used if you didn't want to highlight the special object (otherwise it might look odd). There are quite a few ways of doing it. Hopefully the way you thought of works well!

and the

are all you need to do this.

screen myScreen:
    imagemap:
         # The base picture
         idle "myBackground.png"
         # The base picture with all hotspots marked. 
         # Ren'py will display just what's needed
         hover "myBackground_hover.png"

         hotspot ( [u]x[/u], [u]y[/u], [u]width[/u], [u]height[/u] ) action Function( g.unlock, "gal01" )

assuming that g is your Gallery object and "gal01" the ID of the unlocked picture.

Hi, thank you i'll look at that.
And I have to admit that I have the bad habit of not reading tutorials, i should probably start reading tutorials :test:

and for the code here is what i made

screen actual scene.png:
#Click to pass to the next scene
    imagebutton:
        xpos 0
        ypos 0
        focus_mask True
        idle "actual scene"
        hover "actual scene"
        action Jump("next scene")

    if not "image in gallery" in gallery:
        imagebutton:
#to choose where i want to put the image
            xpos 0.2
            ypos 0.1
            focus_mask True
            idle "image hidden"
            hover "image hidden hover"
            action [addimage("image in gallery"), Jump("next scene")]

I manage to make it work with this code.
I'll try what you showed me and see if i can make it work.
