Ren'Py [SOLVED]screen if condition doesn't work

[riktor]

thanks for the help again...

ah, I see you have a lot more going on in that screen than you what you first posted.I look it over and see what I can do.

try overwriting with the attached file, I did some converting from my vars to yours. can't test it much on my end without all the code to whatever you're working on though

im going to add +1 hour with label too and its not gonna work because its resets just when you click wait...

It don't reset :

default time_hour = 0
default is_am = False

screen myGui():
    frame:
        hbox:
            textbutton "wait" action If( time_hour < 12,
                    SetVariable( "time_hour", time_hour +1 ),
                    [ SetVariable( "time_hour", 0 ), ToggleVariable( "is_am" ) ]  )
            text "Time=[time_hour]"
            if is_am is True:
                text "AM"
            else:
                text "PM"
            textbutton "return" action Return()

label start:

    call screen myGui
    "time [time_hour]"
    $ time_hour += 1
    "time [time_hour]"
    call screen myGui
    "time [time_hour]"

Anyway, if you really want it to works with both screen and label, then use a function :

init python:
    def incHour( step=1 ):
        store.time_hour += step
        if store.time_hour > 12:
            store.time_hour = 1
            store.is_am = not is_am

default time_hour = 0
default is_am = False

screen myGui():
    frame:
        hbox:
            textbutton "wait" action Function( incHour )
            text "Time=[time_hour]"
            if is_am is True:
                text "AM"
            else:
                text "PM"
            textbutton "return" action Return()

label start:

    call screen myGui
    "time [time_hour]"
    $ incHour()
    "time [time_hour]"
    call screen myGui
    "time [time_hour]"

addressing his vars in a global context seemed the only way to make his initial if statements / var setting function the way he wanted without re-writing the entire thing.

It didn't worked because of the way Ren'py deal with screens. The whole code was either out of an interaction (screen shown as an overlay(-like)) or inside a single one (screen called), and ended stuck between 0 and 12 because of this. When the screen was refreshed, the if was played, but due to the way Ren'py works, outside of the screen the value was still 12 ; so at the next refresh of the screen, the if was triggered again, and again, and again.
It would have been the same whatever the way you reference the variable. The only way to make it works was to use SetVariable to also reset the value, which force Ren'py to see it as an interaction, and so effectively update the value outside of the screen.
It also works with Function for the same reason ; Ren'py reset its context after the function, and so update the value.
