Ren'Py Jumping or calling labels from a screen.

[Alfius]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if It's possible, but I want to know if there is anyway that it's possible to call or jump to a label from a sceen in Renpy.

So I have a setup some image buttons inside a screen. I want to completely jump out of the the existing place in my game.

I have a default label where everything is basically reset and it allows you to continue your game from there.

So I want to do a sequence of labels (They call each other) and then return to my default label. But I want my starting point to be from my imagebutton on my screen and not a menu item.

I hope it makes sense!?

Here is the error I get.

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.

line 80: u'jump' is not a keyword argument or valid child for the screen statement.

You only need to write in the action Jump instead of jump

screen myscreen():

    imagebutton:

            idle "image.png"
            hover "hover.png"
            action Jump("mylabel")

or I you want to also hide your screen
action [Jump("mylabel"),Hide("myscreen")]

It sounds like you need action Jump ("this-is-my-label"). Note that it is case sensitive.

It's not a perfect example, but this is a post I wrote for a slightly different topic a while ago...

Thanks, will try this shortly and let you know...
(Like I said, my skills are very limited )

So thanks for everything so far...but I'm still missing something...

screen Replay():
   frame:
          blah..blah... code
                  imagebutton idle im.FactorScale(imgname, 0.15):
                             xysize(160,100)
                             focus_mask True
                             action Jump ("replaylink")

label replaylink:
     if renpy.get_screen("Replay"):
     init python:
          renpy.hide_screen("Replay");
     scene 27 01 00

So everything works perfectly, except the "Replay" screen does not get hidden.
I tried various different ways of writing the hide_screen function. This was just my last iteration with the init python:

(Replay is shown with a toggle button, so I know logic works as I can manually hide the screen with my toggle button)

Managed to figure this out. Thanks for the help in the previous post.

PS. Any tips to navigate the code tags on the forum? It seems to go haywire as soon as I start editing code losing all formatting from my Renpy code editor.

Any tips to navigate the code tags on the forum? It seems to go haywire as soon as I start editing code losing all formatting from my Renpy code editor.

The forum editor isn't a great place to edit anything except the simplest of code. Not least because indenting so important to RenPy isn't always easy to duplicate.

What I tend to do is edit things in the associated RenPy editor (in my case, Atom) and then copy-paste the resulting code here to the site. Atom is quite good for stuff like this, because it will automatically converts tab characters into spaces. I would even go so far to copy-paste code from the forums into Atom, edit it and then copy-paste it back again once I've made the changes I needed to.

As far as code tags...
[code]This is code[/code] is the standard way to show code. And looks like this:

# This is code

A slight improvement for this is to use [code=python]This is code[/code] instead. Since RenPy is based on Python, the site will color things when it recognizes python style code.

# This is code

Finally, there is the "inline code" tag, which is useful for showing code snippets when you don't want to use the full [code] window. So for example, [icode]default my_var1 = False[/icode] looks like default my_var1 = False

All these tags are available from the site editor toolbar. Look for the button around the middle of the bar that looks like "...▼".

Thanks I actually though as much. I'm also using Atom.

It was just that sometimes I want to adjust my actual code here on the forum to illustrate my problem. But noted...do all you editing in Atom with example and just past here within code tags.
