H button only hide text and not screen

[Exiscoming]

Right now whenever you press H, you hide the text on screen. However it also hides any screen that might've been called up. Is there a way to have the H button only hide the text?

You need to show (or call) your screen on layer different from "screens". You can do it by using semi-hidden _layer keyword argument:

Code: Select all

$ renpy.show_screen("my_screen", _layer="master")
# You cannot hide it usual way, so you need to use python again:
$ renpy.hide_screen("my_screen", layer="master") # Notice layer vs _layer

Thank you Ocelot, you're the best!
