Multiple actions for an imagebutton

[Cenc]

Hey all,

Been messing with this for some time now, I know you cannot have more than 1 action listed, however I am wondering if there is a way to do the following:

I have several screen overlays that when clicked will toggle to show more imagebuttons, id like to have the first imagebutton act as a 'master' in that it will clear all the imagebuttons that have been created.

my code as follows:

init python:
    idir = "images/overlay/"
    showMenu_items = False


screen interface():
    $ ShowHide = idir + "showhide.png"
    $ ShowHide_h = idir + "showhide_h.png"
    $ rel_select = False

    imagebutton:
        idle ShowHide
        hover ShowHide_h
        action [ToggleVariable("showMenu_items")]
#       i need something here to do the next line
#        action ToggleScreen("rel_select")
        focus_mask True
        pos (5, 2)

    if showMenu_items:
        use blah blah
        use blah blah

the commented out part is what ive been messing with, ive tried ' and ' , ive also tried:

IF rel_select:
    action ToggleScreen("rel_select")
else:
    action [ToggleVariable("showMenu_items")]

but computer says no. I'm probably missing something simple (normally am) so any help / advice / copy + paste would be appreciated.

Thanks

try this, but you also have to toggle the var rel_select within the screen interface somewhere because its a local screen variable.

screen interface():
    default ShowHide = idir + "showhide.png"
    default ShowHide_h = idir + "showhide_h.png"
    default rel_select = False

    imagebutton:
        idle ShowHide
        hover ShowHide_h
        action (ToggleScreen("rel_select") if rel_select else ToggleVariable("showMenu_items"))
        focus_mask True
        pos (5, 2)

    if showMenu_items:
        use blah blah
        use blah blah

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately I have the variable rel_select being toggled in another screen. but I managed a work around by having the additional imagebuttons on a timer.

which works

then remove the default rel_select statement and the global variable rel_select is used.
and btw you can use the

screen language statement action If(rel_select, ToggleScreen("rel_select"), ToggleVariable("showMenu_items")).
