Textbutton change variable?

[figment]

Is there a way to make a textbutton (or image button, whichever) change a variable directly? Right now, I have it jumping to a label, where the variable is changed, and then you're returned to the screen to make another selection.

This just seems cumbersome. If it's the way it has to be done, so be it, I was just hoping for a more elegant solution.

Use the SetVariable action.

Code: Select all

$ thing = 0
textbutton _("Set to 1") action SetVariable("thing", 1)

This doesn't seem to work with persistent variables, though? I keep getting:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00action_data.rpy", line 50, in get_selected

When I make them non-persistent variables, it works absolutely perfect.

Okay, I got it.

Code: Select all

textbutton _("choice") action SetField(persistent, "variable", "value")

Thank you!
