Return() in python

[pucedragonlord]

I'm trying to get a menu to close after performing an action, but only if the action is successful. THe logical thing to do would be include a Return() command in the python where the action is defined, but I can't seem to make it work. What is the Python equivalent of the Return() action, or how do I call it from within Python?

Alternatively, when stringing actions together as a list, how does RenPy handle them? If make the second action a conditional, will it check the condition before running the first action, or will it run the first action before checking?

so would, for example:

Code: Select all

action [SetVariable("foo", 1), If(foo == 1, SetVariable("bar", 1), SetVariable("bar", -1))]
print bar

spit out 1 or -1?

The If function runs when the action list is first created. So what you actually get (assuming foo == 0 to start) is:

Code: Select all

.. action [ SetVariable("foo", 1), SetVariable("bar", -1) ]

The Return() action - with no arguments - is equivalent to placing the following code at the end of your action:

Code: Select all

                if main_menu:
                    ShowMenu("main_menu")()
                else:
                    return True
