Navigating screen in screen world map. Coding advice needed,

[Xaiyeon]

Hi I'm trying to make a world navigation screen, and whatnot. I need help, I can't really understand what's wrong with my code.
When I navigate back and fourth with this code, it stops working after 3 times.
Also is there a better way to implement this using variables and a condition switch? I'm not sure though.

Do I need to add something somewhere so I can go back to previous screens, or am I doing this the wrong way?
Please help me out ^_^;;.

My problem is that above, also my navigation stops working, but after right clicking to go back it goes back and I can navigate for 3 screens again and it does not work.

Code: Select all

label worldmaptime:
    window hide
    # MUSIC HERE SCENE
    play music "Music/3Sparkling_Ocean_by_Vandit.ogg" loop fadeout 2.0 fadein 1.0
    call screen worldmap ## calls the world map...

Is it popping up only when you go from, for example, N to C to S back to C, or does it also happen when you try to go from N to C back to N?

At work and I don't have access to Renpy otherwise I'd run the stuff myself.

[Xaiyeon]

Yea, when I go to N to C then S, the navigation stops working. If I go to N to C and back to N, it stops working. Basically after any three combination navigation it stops working. How would I fix it? T^T

[orz]

I'd like for you to try something for me.

Instead of doing 'action [ShowMenu('mapc') etc etc etc', I'd like for you to try doing 'action [ShowMenu('worldnav2') etc etc etc'

and put the 'add "Map/WMc.png"' line in the worldnav screens.

Like this:

Code: Select all

label worldmaptime:
    window hide
    # MUSIC HERE SCENE
    play music "Music/3Sparkling_Ocean_by_Vandit.ogg" loop fadeout 2.0 fadein 1.0
    call screen worldmap ## calls the world map...

Let me know if it works or doesn't work. I have a suspicion as to what it might be.

Ok ill try

Edit: Okay, so I tried what you suggested, but it is still the same problem as before XD... However, the code is more neat than before.

[orz]

Found it.

Short answer, make sure you're hiding your screen after you show the next one.

For example: imagebutton idle "Map/mapup.png" hover "Map/mapup.png" xpos 75 ypos 500 action [ShowMenu('mapc'), Play("sfx2", "SFX/MENU A_Select_by_Virix.ogg"), Hide('worldnav4')] hovered [Play("sfx1", "SFX/MENU_Pick_by_Virix.wav")] at wnav_eff

Long answer, I'm not sure if it was simply doing nothing because technically the screen was already being shown (just buried underneath all the other screens so not visible), or if it was throwing an error that wasn't being seen, but there you go. Hmm, it might be possible to set the zorder on a screen as a way to bring it back to the front...

Thank you very much for the help, it works wonderfully I'm interested in the z-order, I'll look that up.
