Image Buttons Staying on Screen Despite Clicking on Them

[ladilol24]

I've been running into other problems as well, but I'm going to try to tackle them on at a time.
When I click a button in my second scene to progress the story, it will go as far as one line before refusing to go forward, and all the buttons stay on screen.

Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this issue? I would greatly appreciate some help, thank you!

What type of component are you using and what do you have it doing when you press it?

I'm using three .png files for the buttons and using the Image Button tool. Each button is a different choice the player can choose. Each of them is directed to a different label and conversation with another character.

Thank you for replying so quickly!

And do you get any pop ups alerting you of any errors about it not being able to find the label?

No, it just goes to the first line of what comes after the directed label, refuses to progress, and the buttons stay on screen.

[jay_rab]

So label then a text box and it will only read the first line of text?

[ladilol24]

Well, there's more than just text after the label. There's expression changes as well. But yes, it stops at the first line no matter what image button I press and the buttons stay on the screen.

[jay_rab]

if you remove the expression change does it work?

[ladilol24]

No, unfortunately.

I wasn't able to find the reason why it was happening, but luckily I was able to find a way around it!

For those of you who are using their own image buttons instead of the branches, make a border with the branch button over the image button layer. The border will need to be clicked in instead of the initial image, but your own button will fade out like it's supposed to.

I'm having the same problem. The image buttons remain on the screen when they are clicked, and the game will not proceed past the first line of the label the image button jumps to.

I'm not really sure how to make a border with the branch button over my image button as ladilol suggests.

Here's a example for you Joffe <:

As you can see, the image button has a border created by the branch button tool, which is layered over the image button in scene layers.

Both buttons lead to the same location and target so as not to get confusing. You'll need to click on the border rather than the image button itself to progress the story without the image buttons sticking there.

You can fiddle with the border size and position as you will, but I jotted down how much I take away from the initial position and size of the image button in case you wanted to try that.

Hope that helps!

ah, I get it now, thanks! Sadly, my image buttons are a completely different shape from the branch buttons, so I can't use them as a border.

I know this thread is old, but you need to use a "Page break" to make the image buttons disappear. Either have the Image button send you to a label in the same scene, followed by a page break and a jump to where you want to go, or start the scene where you want to go with a page break ^^

I was breaking my head with this, thank you very much for the clarification

It worked! Thank you so much for this advice!
