Turns out that `config.say_arguments_callback` doesn't capture the `what` parameter. Seems that nobody knows how to intercept the `what` value when `say` is called. However, there is another callback: `config.say_menu_text_filter` that will serve a treat. Add somewhere near the beginning of the program: define na...

You can do something like this: random_scene = renpy.random.choice[(‘scene1’, ‘scene2’, ‘scene3’)] random_scene is the variable that will basically have you jump to a label (one of the scenes in the random choice code).

The narrative elements should be easy to make with Ren'py (and probably even a drunk system) but the puzzles will be harder to make happen.

Based on your ideas you wanna add, Ren’Py is the way to go, especially if you have at least basic coding knowledge. Ren’Py is beginner friendly and is intended to be used to create the type of things you mentioned. The coding language is also arguably the easiest one to learn. 😁

If it’s a label, try using the jump command (right below the start: label). If it’s a screen, use show screen [insert screen name] right below the start: label. If your new script is not below the start: label or is not using the jump, show, or call command (below the start: label), it won’t be shown during gameplay.

Hi I'm fairly new to Renpy, but I've spent an entire day trying to figure out how to have an icon show up only when hovering the mouse over the top right corner of the screen. Surprisingly this doesn't seem to be in the documentation. It's confusing to me because this is not a tooltip or an image switch. Any ideas ...

do it with some screens like this: # area hover show.rpy screen falshIt():     zorder 100     mousearea:         area (0, 0, 100, 100) # at pos 0,0 covering a 100 x 100 pixel area         hovered Show("bluee")         unhovered Hide("bluee") screen bluee():     add "blue"...

I'm not sure what you're doing completely without seeing your code I did add a comment to the code where your image should go (for my example I'm displaying blue.png (a blue square)) you can either show or call the screen and the mouse must be positioned in upper left corner of the GUI

Thanks it works now but how do I position it to the top right instead? No matter what I change it keeps appearing on the left.
