How to make a specific menu an NVL menu? (SOLVED)

[Natsu Dragneel]

I'm trying to make a VN which uses both ADV menus and NVL menus, but the only way I know how to access the NVL menus is the

Code: Select all

init python:

menu = nvl_menu

which automatically transforms all of my menus into NVL menus and that's NOT what I want.
Can somebody please help me with this?

I think this is what you're looking for. Otherwise, I don't know. Nice username btw.

It seems that unlike nvl_menu, ren'py doesn't provide a default constant\reference for the adv_menu (or at least i couldn't find one). However, since we know that ren'py always starts with the adv style menu, we know that the "menu" name must reference the adv menu object, so you can simply save another reference to it exactly like nvl_menu. Then it's just a matter of changing the style of menu you want whenever you like.
Here is an example:

Code: Select all

define adv_menu = menu #be sure this is always executed before you change the menu to something else

label start:
    $menu = nvl_menu
    
    menu:
        "This menu is novel style":
            jump nextmenu
            
label nextmenu:
    $menu = adv_menu
    menu:
        "This menu is normal style":
            jump start

Thank you so much, works like a charm
