How does one pass arguments to a custom screen specified via renpy.display_menu? I tried the following: # NOTE: I left out certain parameters to make it easier to read, to focus purely on the screen argument part. renpy.display_menu(... screen='custom_screen123') renpy.display_menu(... screen='custo...

I created a pull request to fix this just now, hopefully it'll be included in 7.4.7.

Thanks!

You could also make your own menu screen. The menu is just the choice screen with the text and arguments passed to it that it constructs buttons from and assigns actions. I actually did do that. I got my own custom menu screen. It's working great so far. Works for me, all buttons are selectable fro...

1) Add an argument to the choice screen and pass your special functions as an argument: # menu_chunk = [("Special: Static Function 1", "func1"), ("Special: Static Function 2", "func2")] menu (extra=menu_chunk ): "a": pass # . . . screen choice(items, extra=[]): # Usual stuff # After everything we a...

I'm going to be using a lot of menu's, but part of the menu will always remain exactly the same. Is there a way to include a menu_chunk, so I don't have to re-type it over and over again? Like so... menu: "A. Hello": "B. Hi": include("menu_chunk") label menu_chunk: "Special: Static Function 1": $ fu...

Tested new code. First time, as expected, "Bottom" button could be focused (because of keyboard_focus True). Then I set keyboard_focus to False, and again, only quick menu and say screen could be focused EDIT: Tried again with edited version, wasn't able to move focus from say screen. Updated to th...

Cannot reproduce. I can only switch focus between quickbar and say screen with keyboard. Note that I had to fix tab character and inconsistent block size in your code before game could be launched. I modified the code based on your suggestions and provided a more thorough example that should reprod...

EDIT: FYI... Renpy's displayable system doesn't actually work off an index (I don't think). It's a 2D grid system. So while it looks like the first index was set to -1 (in a choice menu), it's actually not. I think it's some kind of 2d raytrace system where based on the direction you press, it shoot...

I came to your same conclusion. I actually implemented your solution to a certain degree. I disable the keys from being pressed so the problem doesn't even happen in the first place, but I had no idea you could override a group of keys via focus_x .. that's great! thanks!

It would really help if you posted some code - A million things could be wrong... Hmm okay, how about this. In Ren'py create a brand new project. Let's add this: # SCREENS.RPY default quick_menu = False # ------------------- screen test3(): textbutton "Top": xalign 0.1 yalign 0.1 keyboard_focus Fal...

Anyone know a simple way to inform the player if the say dialogue box has lost or gained focus? This is the default screen say code found in a brand new renpy project. I'm wondering how we could modify it in the simplest way to just inform the player that it has focus or lost focus. It can be someth...

I set all displayables to keyboard_focus = False, yet one of them still gains focus via arrow key. Anyone know why?

NOTE: I did not disable keyboard focus of things like main_menu, preferences, save, load, and menus like that.

What happens exactly what you add pass to a called screen? I know pass is supposed to stand for do nothing in python. But, it does more than that. When I add the pass statement to my screen, all my transforms behave as they should, but as soon as I remove that pass, all my transforms start to act we...

I don't believe WASD gameplay makes sense for visual novels and similar games, where there's no need to devote a hand to aiming with the mouse. This is a purely professional criticism. I say this with the utmost respect, but, can you not think of any LARGE ren'py audience that would want to play on...

Imagine you want to make your game optimized for WASD hotkey usage, and surrounding keys. But, if too many renpy games WASD setups don't match, it will be annoying for the users. So I'm thinking the eldest Renpy devs should have an agreed standard of which we should all try to adhere too? That way e...
