Python code in screen causing side-effects? [SOLVED]

[DannyGMaster]

This is not exactly an error. You see, I want a screen to play some music when its shown, so I
added something like this:

Code: Select all

screen test:

    python:
         renpy.music.play('audio/Test_01.ogg', loop=True)
        
    add "bg_01"
    add "c_02"

This works, but when the game starts and the main menu is shown, this exact music begins playing. When I show the screen the music simply restarts. I read in the documentation that python code inside screens causes side effects and unexpected behavior, this is probably what they meant, so how can I achieve what I want (having the screen automatically play a music file) without calling it from inside the screen? Do I need to write a function that plays the music and then calls the screen?

Use on "show" action Play(channel, file, selected=None, **kwargs)

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_a ... io-actions
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#on

Code: Select all

screen test:
    on "show" action Play("audio", 'audio/Test_01.ogg', loop=True)
    #on "hide" action Stop("audio") if music must stop on hide screen
    add "bg_01"
    add "c_02"

If you use music in main menu, change music channel for main menu music and add action Mute for "sounds" and "music" channels.

Oh!, I didn't know 'on' could be used that way, thanks !
