Hello there!
I need to make two different kinds of main menu, that will be showing depending on variable value, but i don't really understand how to do it. -__-
For example, i have 4 different endings in the game. Playing trough each of them sets variable+1. When all of endings are opened and variable=4 main menu switches for the other one, with different bg, music and additional "Epilogue" button. (something like Tsukihime or Fate/stay night Réalta Nua)

With screen language, you could use the "if statement" for that.

Code:

screen main_menu:

    # This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    # The background of the main menu.
    window:
        style "mm_root"

    # The main menu buttons.
    frame:
        style_group "mm"
        xalign .98
        yalign .98

        has vbox

        textbutton _("Start Game") action Start()
        textbutton _("Load Game") action ShowMenu("load")
        if variable = 4:
            textbutton_("Extra") action ShowMenu("extra")
        textbutton _("Preferences") action ShowMenu("preferences")
        textbutton _("Help") action Help()
        textbutton _("Quit") action Quit(confirm=False)

init python:

    # Make all the main menu buttons be the same size.
    style.mm_button.size_group = "mm"

Ren Py' won't show that button until "variable" dose equal 4.

I think they mean more of something like this (an example):

The Main Menu looks like this and plays a certan BGM when you first start

But then it looks like this and plays an entirely diffrent BGM when you've gotten all the endings/good end/true end

It works even for the whole screen, I would recommend the following structure:

Code:

screen main_menu:

    # This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    if variable == 0:
        use main_menu_1
    else:
        use main_menu_2

Where main_menu_1 and main_menu_2 are screens you define elsewhere.

Alternatively, store the screen you want to use inside the variable.

Code:

screen main_menu:

    # This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    use variable
