[SOLVED] 'hide_windows' equivalent for screen action

[famakki1]

Hi all,

I have been digging around the forums but haven't been able to find a decent solution

I want to know if there is an action to hide dialogue boxes using a button (both avg and nvl dialogue boxes). At the moment I am using:

config.keymap['hide_windows'] = [ 'mouseup_2', 'h', 'joy_hide','K_SPACE' ]

Which allows the keyboard to do this. But can I do this via a button in the quick menu? Thanks

We can do that, but why do you need to add it in the first place?

There are many ways to do that, but this is how I would do it.
First, modify the screen say by adding a checking variable, named "hiding", to switch between showing & hiding the say screen. If the hiding value is True, we hide the textbox.

Code: Select all

screen say(who, what):
    style_prefix "say"
    showif not hiding:  # ---> Here's the switch
        window:
            id "window"

            if who is not None:

                window:
                    style "namebox"
                    text who id "who"

            text what id "what"

Then add this at the end of screen quick_menu() :

Code: Select all

                textbutton _("Hide Textbox") action SetVariable("hiding", True)
                textbutton _("Show Textbox") action SetVariable("hiding", False)

Don't forget to set the default value to False at the beginning of your script.

Try something like this

Code: Select all

screen my_scr():
    textbutton "Press me!" action HideInterface() align (0.05, 0.05)
# The game starts here.
label start:
    "..."
    show screen my_scr
    "... ..."
    "?"

@indoneko , no particular reason but just wanted the user to have a button that he/she can use to view CG art during the game

@Alex @indoneko thanks for your help
