Change menu after finish the game

[maurolcj]

Hi, I wanted to know how to do after finishing a novel, change the menu and appear another button that takes you to another story, such as clannad or sepia tears making the myra's diary

I would set a variable which controls whether the button is ready to show;

Code: Select all

init:
    $ gameCompleted = False #CAN BE ANYTHING

is just an example. Then in the main menu code I would include:

Code: Select all

    frame:
        style_group "mm"
        xalign .98
        yalign .98

        has vbox

        textbutton _("Start Game") action Start()
        textbutton _("Load Game") action ShowMenu("load")
        textbutton _("Preferences") action ShowMenu("preferences")
        textbutton _("Help") action Help()
        textbutton _("Quit") action Quit(confirm=False)
        
        if gameCompleted == True:
            textbutton _("Myra's Diary") action Jump("Myra Diary") #NAME OF JUMP

NOTE: you need to place the gameCompleted in an init (to happen before the game starts, or will return an error that the variable doesn't yet exist)

The above code adds a button to the existing Main Menu vbox. Change accordingly if it's an imagebutton, or placed outside the vbox.

If you want the new button to persist after closing the game, you need persistent data:
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/persistent.html

It's easy, just call the variable persistent.gameCompleted instead of only gameCompleted. The exact name is irrelevant, of course.

Note: init variables are reset on entering new context. Like main menu. You want persistent variables.

Code: Select all

label start:
    'Game started'
    'Game finished'
    $ persistent.finished = True # This will set persistent variable 'finished', which will retain it value between launches, new and loaded games
    return

# in main menu screen
    # . . . 
    if persistent.finished:  # persistent variables return None if not exist, no need to actually set them beforehand there
        textbutton 'postgame content' . . .
    # . . .
