Hide layer?

[ishify]

Hi. I have been wondering if there's a way to hide every image that is within a layer? ie: screens

[xela]

How about scene statement over the screens layer (funny as it is, I never tried that but there should be no reason for it not to work). I know there bound to be Ren'Py script statement for this but you'll have to look for it yourself.

Code: Select all

$ renpy.scene("screens")

is the python function.

Mmm. I can't do the scene over the layer.

This is how the set up is. the life bars are on layer 'screens'

And this is my dilemma during the attack phase

[xela]

I thought there was a callback function that you can use with the say statements. Can you find out if it is possible to bind hide/show screen function to it? You could supply events to it, like om show and on hide.

There are too many options here and it's almost impossible to tell which one will get the job done best just from three picture

Uhm. O n O I'm not code savvy so I can't really tell which syntax is which.
I come here with very little knowledge from basic c++ and is just trying to apply that in python TT - TT

Code: Select all

This is almost criminal misuse of Ren'Py script, I've never seen anyone trying to mimic screen language with it

Can't you just hide the screen layer (or hide hp_green_spar and the others for example) and jump to the "healthbar" labels to recreate it?

Notes:

Usually declaring a label in a label is not a good idea.

Images should be declared in the init or without any per-statements at all. Declaring them inside of a label should not even work but I guess that it does.

You bars should be bars... in a screen to be shown and hidden at your command.
