Using a 'frame' menu. Causing issues with caching?

[Eligar]

Hey there! So I decided to have a dropdown menu for my game using something like this:

Code: Select all

define bool = True
screen menu1():
    frame:
        pos (107, 30)
        has vbox
        if bool == True:
            textbutton "Option 1":
                clicked Hide("menu1"), Jump("label1")
        if bool == False:
            textbutton "Option 2":
                clicked Hide("menu1"), Jump("label2")

The issue is, that the frame won't directly update if I were to change the boolean. Meaning that even if I turn it to False, it will still show me the menu as if it were True, 'until' I click the menu once > click cancel and then click it again. By this time it has update itself to show the proper menu options.
It almost seems like a caching issue. Is there any way for me to fix this?

It's something to do with the way if statements and vboxes are coded, I think. Anyways, you could try this:

Code: Select all

define bool = True
screen menu1():
    
   # text "[bool]"
    if bool:
        frame:
            pos (107, 30)
            has vbox
            textbutton "Option 1":
                clicked Hide("menu1"), Jump("label1")
                    
    if not bool:
        frame:
            pos (107, 30)
            has vbox
            textbutton "Option 2":
                clicked Hide("menu1"), Jump("label2")
                
                
label start:
    
    show screen menu1
    
    "A"
    
    $bool = False
    
    
    "a"

I think having put the if statement 'before' the frame might have fixed it! I'll experiment a bit more with it tomorrow, but thanks for the help!
