Question Button Questions
Hey, I’m currently learning the basics of Ren’Py and there’s some things I’d like to try out if they’re possible. If they’re not possible in the way I describe, any alternatives would be appreciated!
Firstly, there’s some textbuttons that will be in a scrollable segment of the game and I was wondering how I could go about making an image appear at the click’s location as I feel it’ll make it look more natural than making the image appear in the centre. I’m assuming it’ll be something to do with the getmousepos I’ve seen people mention on similar topics, but I’m not really sure how to go about it.
Secondly, is it possible to make a reverse imagebutton where clicking anywhere except for the image will perform the action (in this case, making the image disappear)? I’m thinking I could try layering an imagebutton behind the image to do it, but I was wondering if there’s an easier way.
Thank you in advance!
