Problem with overlay/menu button/displaying statistic

[roankun]

So my game is based on affection points. Those points can be viewed via a clicking a game menu button. The main problem is written below, but I felt that I had to write these first in order for you (my mentor XD) to fully understand what is wrong with me my work.

Here's my code for the affection points (the other details are cut from this)

Code: Select all

init:
    $ tn_love = 0
 
label start:
    $ tn_love = 0

Yes, I put it both in init and label start. I started a thread sometime ago and the people there suggested that I put those put NOT in init but in label start. However, when I do that, I get an error saying something like tn_love isn't defined or something, so I put it in both.

Next, for the game menu buttons and to show the affection points of guy1:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def button_game_menu():
        
        if show_button_game_menu:

            ccinc = renpy.curried_call_in_new_context

            ui.hbox(xpos=0.985, ypos=0.81, xanchor='right', yanchor='bottom')
            ui.textbutton("Skip", clicked=toggle_skipping, xminimum=80)
            ui.textbutton("Load", clicked=ccinc("_game_menu_load"), xminimum=80)
            ui.textbutton("Stat", clicked=ccinc("stat"), xminimum=80)
            ui.close()


    config.window_overlay_functions.append(button_game_menu)

    def tn_love():
        if tn_affect_show:
            ui.vbox(xpos=1, ypos=0)
            ui.text("Guy1: %s" %tn_love)
            ui.frame()
    config.overlay_functions.append(tn_love)

If you haven't noticed, my button for Stat (which is what you click to show the affection points isn't the same as the one for the affection points screen(?) of Guy1. That's because I haven't figured out how to do that yet. XD Considering I have 5 other guys to include, I'm still at a loss on how to do that.

Main Problem
Okay, the main problem here is that whenever I try to show the affection points of Guy1, in other words, when I include

Code: Select all

$ tn_affect_show = True

in the script (because like I said, I haven't rigged it so that that happens when I click the Stat button) here's what happens:
Before $ tn_affect_show


After:


For some reason, the frame, which should have been around Guy1= 0, is below that, and the game buttons moved to the top. I'm really at a loss. I don't know how to deal with this. X(

And then right after that, when I click for the next dialog to show, an error occurs.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Exception: Widget <renpy.display.layout.Window object at 0x036DDD90> expects a child.

While running game code:
 - script at line 392 of F:\EJ\Programs\Renpy\Otomegokoro/game/script.rpy

I really really REALLY don't know what to do. Help.

You have a dangling ui.frame() at the end of your tn_love() overlay. It's most likely looking for a child, since all ui.frames() need 1 child. And it likely adopted the ui.hbox() of your stats. Remove that ui.frame() and see what happens. (Removing it should also solve your error.)

Thank you Aleema! I only noticed it now, but you're almost always the one who helps me! My hero *.*

Um, last question then. What if I do want a frame around it?
Nevermind, I just put it in an image background.
Again, thank you very very VERY much.

ui.frame()s are put before their children:

Code: Select all

            ui.frame()
            ui.vbox(xpos=1, ypos=0)
            ui.text("Guy1: %s" %tn_love)
            ui.close()

In this case, the vbox is the child. I added a ui.close() at the bottom. You should always close the widgets that need to be closed (hbox/vbox, grid, etc).

But this is more efficient:

Code: Select all

            ui.frame(xpos=1, ypos=0)
            ui.text("Guy1: %s" %tn_love)

Oh, I see. This might be easier than making another image. XD Thank you!
