The higher the value (later order) gets executed last and thus determines the final state.

Second part to the answer is - you need to use a persistent variable to record whether player has finished the game or not. Then when loading the music - use the persistent variable to decide what gets loaded.

Persistent have a special property, is set to None if not defined. So change your game this way

Code: Select all

# at the end of the game
$ persistent.var = True
# in the MAIN MENU SCREEN, not in configs
    if persistent.var==True:
        # do something
    else:
       # do somethintg else

and no other check or variable assignement. I suggest you not to use conditionals on configs, usually made to set givem values.

screen main_menu():

In your screens.rpy file you can see all the screens in the game, look for:

Code: Select all

screen main_menu():

The doc says you add displayable that way, but I've seen people mention adding movies or sound that way - so it should work!

kivik wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 4:34 pm Ok so I just experimented with this, and this seems to work:

Code: Select all

screen test_menu:
    default song = "title_screen2" if persistent.var else "title_screen"
    on "show" action Play("music", "%s.ogg" % song, loop=True)
    on "hide" action Stop("music")
    # rest of your menu code

Using on "show" you can queue the Play() screen action, just have to make sure you stop the music on hide when the screen is gone as well.

Alternatively you can use a python if else statement for the entire code block - but since you're just changing what tune to play, it seems to make sense just to set the song name to a variable.

You can even ditch the use of the screen variable by doing this:

Code: Select all

on "show" action Play("music", "%s.mp3" % ("music" if persistent.fdsa else "music2"), loop=True)
