Entire scene playing twice instead of once

[Nicckonator]

Problems get fixed and problems arise

for some reason this simple example of a script loops? it plays twice instead of immediately returning to the main menu after playing only once as scripted.

Tried it with multiple scenes and then it just plays all scenes twice lol.

Code: Select all

label start:

    #

    ## Start Script

    play music "Airguitar.mp3"

    scene bg room with fade

    show eileen happy

    e "Air Guitar is a wonderful song!"

    e "You should listen to it all day long."

    stop music

    return

And what about the "start" button in main menu and splashscreen as well?

[Nicckonator]

Those work perfectly fine but if your asking for the way i have it coded it would be the following:

Code: Select all

# The script of the game goes in this file.

# Declare characters used by this game. The color argument colorizes the
# name of the character.

define e = Character("Eileen")


# The game starts here.

label splashscreen:

    scene black

    $ renpy.movie_cutscene('KKintro.webm')

    return


label start:

    #

    ## Start Script

    play music "Airguitar.mp3"

    scene bg room with fade

    show eileen happy

    e "Air Guitar is a wonderful song!"

    e "You should listen to it all day long."

    stop music

    return

That's it that's the entire script code for now since it won't stop playing twice instead of once i havent added anything else yet.

Yes, did you change the main menu code? Try to create the new project and copy/paste your code into it.

[Nicckonator]

All i changed about the main menu is the background(.avi), music, and gui buttons of which i deleted the original and replaced it with my own imagemap+hotspots,

code would be this just in case you want to know:

Code: Select all

pretty standard and it worked perfectly until i started editing the .script file by writing that simple scene^ before i did that it only played once and i havent touched the main menu coding since before i ever even edited the .script, worked fine up till then.

New project with same code = same results sadly.

Code: Select all

hotspot (569,934,126,65) action ShowMenu('start')

This action is definitely wrong - check the original screens.rpy code (there's Start action to start the game - https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_a ... html#Start)

[Nicckonator]

I had to code that in because im using a .avi movie as my main menu background with custom gui buttons + designated hotspots, everything was working fine along with that line of code^ right up until i edited the script file, if i revert the script file to default script everything works again, so i don't know what the problem is since all i did was remove the unnessecary # explanation lines.

I think Alex is saying you need to use:

Code: Select all

hotspot (569,934,126,65) action Start()

I'm not familiar with the menu screen's actions, but from your description it sounds like ShowMenu('start') called the game to show your start label, then start the game (which triggers the start label). Whilst Start() will just jump to your start label.

[Ocelot]

Why it is so hard to do that? Is 'start' a screen? THen you have a huge problem: you have same name for screen and label. It is bad.

If not, you are showing label as a screen, which makes no sense. In addition, what is hard in replacing ShowMenu('start') with Start()?

Perfect, thankyou can't believe i miswrote that xD
