[Solved] Hiding in-game-buttons when included in screen say

[inahochama]

I'm going bonkers trying to figure this one out for hours. I've basically added some textbuttons in my screen say so that these buttons will appear whenever the dialogue window appears, but when label credits starts, the window for the dialogue is gone but the textbuttons remain on screen.

I would like to know how I can make those textbuttons disappear with the dialogue window since window hide and hide screen say doesn't work.

Can you take a screenshot of your game's credits, and also give the code for the credits?

[inahochama]

This is the code for the label start and the label credits.

Code: Select all

label start:
    scene black
    with fade
    e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."
    e "text"
    e "text"
    jump credits
    
label credits:
    scene black
    with fade

    #window hide #(doesn't hide buttons)
    #hide screen say #(doesn't hide buttons)

    centered "text"
    centered "text"
    centered "text"
    
    return

This is the code for the in-game-menu-buttons in the screen say.

Code: Select all

screen say:

    # Defaults for side_image and two_window
    default side_image = None
    default two_window = False

    # Decide if we want to use the one-window or two-window varaint.
    if not two_window:

        # The one window variant.        
        window:
            id "window"

            has vbox:
                style "say_vbox"

            if who:
                text who id "who"

            text what id "what"

    else:

        # The two window variant.
        vbox:
            style "say_two_window_vbox"

            if who:            
                window:
                    style "say_who_window"

                    text who:
                        id "who"
                        
            window:
                id "window"
                has vbox:
                    style "say_vbox"
                text what id "what"

    hbox xalign .98 yalign .98:
           textbutton "save" action ShowMenu("save")
           textbutton "options" action ShowMenu('preferences')
           textbutton "skip" action Skip()

hmm try putting this at beginning of your credit label

$ show_button_game_menu = False

i used this to hide default buttons before

Thanks for the suggestion. Thing is that code only works if I had a show_button_game_menu as True or as an appended overlay but in the case of the code above, I don't. One of the reasons why I had these buttons added in my screen say is so I don't have to do any appending or true/false variables for in-game menu buttons. I was hoping to minimize typing


EDIT:

Turns out creating an "if" statement with showbuttons (or something) variable with the textbuttons in the screen say code, then setting it to "True/False" on the label start and label credits solved the issue. Hahaha, I practically had the answer all along thanks to Machinist's suggestion.
