Screen Tags

[QotC]

What am I doing wrong? The manual says that showing a screen will replace another screen with the same tag, which is what I want; but when I run my code, both screens are showing simultaneously.

Code: Select all

screen choosePartyScreen:
        tag pineapple
        vbox xalign 0.0:
            text"Party Members: %d" % partyMembers
            null height 10
            hbox:
                text player['Name']
                null width 5
                textbutton "Edit" action Jump('edit_party_member')
            if partyMembers > 1:
                hbox:
                    #text somebodysName
                    textbutton "Remove"
            if partyMembers < maxPartyMembers:
                textbutton "Add Party Member"
        textbutton "Quit" action Jump('end_game') xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0
    
label choose_party:
    show screen choosePartyScreen
    $ui.interact()

screen editPartyMemberScreen:
    tag pineapple
    vbox:
        text "Name: "
        textbutton "Done" action Jump('choose_party')

label edit_party_member:
    show screen editPartyMemberScreen
    python:    
        ui.interact()

I just tested your code and it doesn't happen for me (only one screen is shown at a time). Need more context.

I can only assume it's my computer glitching, then. Script-wise, that's 98% of all I had coded when I had the problem There was also:

Code: Select all

label start:

    jump choose_party

    return

And two uncalled place-holding labels elsewhere. The only other context I can add is that I'm using the latest version of Renpy on Windows 7.

Anyway, since my last post, I added explicit Hide commands so I could continue coding. When I finally took them out again, it started working right, as you said. So, the good news is, it's working now; but the bad news is, I still have no idea what happened or why, or if it will happen again.
