How to call a function?

[LiveTurkey]

I know this is a very simple question but I tried searching around and I couldn't find the answer.

I have a function:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def hideScreens():
        renpy.hide_screen("homeroomOptions")
        renpy.hide_screen("hallwayOneOptions")
        renpy.hide_screen("englishClassroomOptions")
        renpy.hide_screen("map")

I know that to call it inside of on action block you just type the name like so,

Code: Select all

        hotspot (588, 343, 207, 186) action [increaseTime, hideScreens, Hide("map"), Jump("englishClassroom")]       

but how do I call it not within an action block but within a label like this

Code: Select all

label endGame:
 
######This is what I tried. Didn't work. ###################
    $ hideScreens       
######This is what I tried. Didn't work. ###################

######This is what I had to resort to. ####################
    $ renpy.hide_screen("homeroomOptions")
    $ renpy.hide_screen("hallwayOneOptions")
    $ renpy.hide_screen("englishClassroomOptions")
    $ renpy.hide_screen("map")
######This is what I had to resort to. ####################
    if(day > totalDays):
        p "Game Over"
        return
    else:
        jump homeroom

Just add brackets, like

Code: Select all

$ hideScreens()
