Saveslot Delete issue (solved)

[Smaymay]

Hi! I finally managed to code a Save/Load screen with help from the Imagebutton GUI Framework from Uncle Mugen and Leon. But there seems to be a problem when I want to delete a Save File.



When I hover over a saveslot and press the delete button on my keyboard, it's always the last Save File that will be deleted. It's not possible to delete another Save File on the current filepage either. I pasted the relevant code from the file_picker screen below. I hope someone knows what went wrong. Thanks in advance!

Code: Select all

#SAVE SLOTS
    $ x=229                     # xpos for the first save slot framework
    for j in range(0, 3):       # 3 Columns
        $ y = 238               # ypos of the top slot in the first column
        for k in range(0,2):    # 2 rows with slots in each column. 
            $ i = j*2+k         # total number of saveslots
            imagebutton:
                auto "images/GUI/loadscreen/saveslot_%s.png" 
                xpos x ypos y focus_mask True 
                action FileAction(i)                    
                hovered [ Play ("Soundeffect_2", "audio/soundeffects/menu_hover.wav") ]
            use load_save_slot(number=i, x=x, y=y)      # call the load_save_slot screen 
            $ y+=319                                    # move every next saveslot 319px lower.
        $ x += 486                                      # move every next column of saveslots 486px to the right.

# Allows the player to delete a saved game file
    key "save_delete" action FileDelete(i) 

init -2 python:
    config.thumbnail_width = 366                        #width of saved game screenshot to appear in the save slot framework
    config.thumbnail_height = 206                       #height of saved game screenshot to appear in the save slot framework

You need to indent key "save_delete" more.

Code: Select all

#SAVE SLOTS
    $ x=229                     # xpos for the first save slot framework
    for j in range(0, 3):       # 3 Columns
        $ y = 238               # ypos of the top slot in the first column

        for k in range(0,2):    # 2 rows with slots in each column.
            $ i = j*2+k         # total number of saveslots

            imagebutton:
                auto "images/GUI/loadscreen/saveslot_%s.png"
                xpos x ypos y focus_mask True
                action FileAction(i)                   
                hovered [ Play ("Soundeffect_2", "audio/soundeffects/menu_hover.wav") ]

            use load_save_slot(number=i, x=x, y=y)      # call the load_save_slot screen

            # Allows the player to delete a saved game file
             key "save_delete" action FileDelete(i) 

            $ y+=319                                    # move every next saveslot 319px lower.
        $ x += 486                                      # move every next column of saveslots 486px to the right.

Thank you for replying!

I tried to indent key "save_delete" more just like in your example but I got the following error:

Code: Select all

File "game/screens.rpy", line 392: Line is indented, but the preceding use statement statement does not expect a block. Please check this line's indentation.
    key "save_delete" action FileDelete(i) 
    ^

I'm still not quite used to proper indentation so I'm sorry if the solution is obvious.

[DragoonHP]

My mistake. I put in a extra space before key. key and use should be in the same indent.

@DragoonHP

No worries! I removed the extra space before "key" and the error disappeared!
But sadly it did not fix my delete problem. Thank you anyways for your help. I appreciate it.

1: KEY must be tied to the single button, as a child. The way you define it is tied to the screen as a whole (that's why it work on the latest save).
2: BUTTON can have childs, IMAGEBUTTON not at all.

So change your imagebuttons to buttons.

I'm a little confused about what i is supposed to refer to. It's used as the "index of the current button", but labelled as the total save slots.
And as gas said, the way it's indented means it's not being associated with the buttons, it needs to be inside the button block. (But if an imagebutton doesn't accept it, it might not work...)

My save screen uses one block for both columns and rows, but I'm also using a grid rather then specifying absolute values for x/y. It might make things simpler for you to use a grid and styles to line everything up. This is unrelated to the problem at hand though.

[Smaymay]

Thank you both for your reply.

I'll try to replace my imgagebuttons with regular buttons. I haven't used buttons and styling before
but I will look at the Ren'py documentation some more.
