The Buttons Still Do Not Show Up!

[writinggg]

I am having a problem with a screen; the buttons refuse show up, even though my code says that they should be seen until they are pushed :

Code: Select all

screen beginning_gt :
    
    frame xalign 0.5 yalign 0.5 :
        has vbox
        
        hbox :
            text "What's Your Gender? "
            
            
            
        hbox :
            
           if cre_screen_g_pick == "False" :
            textbutton "Female" action [ SetVariable('play_gender', 'female') , SetVariable('cre_screen_g_pick', 'True')  ]
                        
            textbutton "Male" action [ SetVariable('play_gender', 'male') , SetVariable('cre_screen_g_pick', 'True') ]        
    
    
        hbox  :
            text "What Is Your Style Of Speech?"
            
            
        hbox :
            
            textbutton "Proper English"
                        
            textbutton "Regular"   
            
            textbutton "Slightly Slang"
            
            textbutton "All Yo!"
    

Code: Select all

label start:
    
    $ play_gender = "___"
    
    $ cre_screen_g_pick = False

... indents? Bad coding manners?

Code: Select all

screen beginning_gt:
    frame align(0.5, 0.5):
        has vbox spacing 5
        text "What's Your Gender?"
        hbox:
           if not cre_screen_g_pick:
                textbutton "Female" action [SetVariable('play_gender', 'female') , SetVariable('cre_screen_g_pick', 'True')]
                textbutton "Male" action [SetVariable('play_gender', 'male') , SetVariable('cre_screen_g_pick', 'True')]
                
        text "What Is Your Style Of Speech?"
        hbox:
            textbutton "Proper English"       
            textbutton "Regular"
            textbutton "Slightly Slang"
            textbutton "All Yo!"

label start:
    $ play_gender = None
    $ cre_screen_g_pick = False
    call screen beginning_gt

Code: Select all

if cre_screen_g_pick == "False" :

the quotes - you don't need them here.

Thank you Xela and Alex :

The quotes were the cause of my original problem, and Xela's code changes helped me fix another problem I was having (it involved getting the game to say the variable in the screens's text after it was picked!)!
