Closing a screen instead of return?

[namastaii]

I know there is a ui.close() but when I'm not using that layout, and I'm using this kind of layout:

Code: Select all

imagebutton:
            idle "gui/cell_phone/close_button.png"
            hover "gui/cell_phone/close_button.png"
            action 

What should I put for the action if I want it to close that screen that was just opened and continue the story? If I put Return() it literally just ends the whole game and goes back to the main menu...

Just hide this screen, like

Code: Select all

action Hide("name_of_the_screen")

Oh that's why it wasn't working. I didn't put the screen name in quotation marks.

It hides the screen..but it doesn't continue where it was before.. I can't do anything but sit there and stare a a blank background with no dialogue or GUI or anything

I suppose you've used <modal True> in your screen. Try to call this screen (not to show it) and make the screen return any value, like

Code: Select all

imagebutton:
            idle "gui/cell_phone/close_button.png"
            hover "gui/cell_phone/close_button.png"
            action Return("smth")

If that won't work for you then you'd better show the actual code you have and tell a bit more about how you want it to act.

the return("") seems to be working. Thank you.
