Event triggered on clicking the X(close) button?

Hello, I have a mini game that runs through a creator defined displayable, and it is working well.

However I have run into a problem.
The player can pause the minigame and exit it by pressing ESC while on the minigame screen.
However, if the player clicks the X(close) button at the top of the window, the game does not pause and it is overlayed with the Are you sure you want to quit screen.

This all works correctly except I want to send my minigame a message to pause immediately so that the user can make their choice without the game screen still moving in the background.

I've tried using the special label "quit", but it's called after the confirm screen.
The only solution I can think of is an action in the Confirm Screen to stop the minigame, for example, SetVariable() or Function().

Code: Select all

screen confirm(message, yes_action, no_action):

    on "show" action Function("stopmyminigame")   ## <<-- Add this line
    on "show" action SetVariable("minigamestopped", True)   ## <<-- Or this one

    # ... The rest of the screen...

Thank you, that got me in the right direction.
I added this line to my confirm screen and it works great:

Code: Select all

on "show" action SetField(game, 'paused', True)

My minigame is defined as a creator defined displayable, and it is paused my toggling the self.paused variable.

Uh oh... I ran into a different problem. Now an error is thrown when I try and click X when the minigame is not running because an instance of game does not exist.

If this was straight python I would fix this by:

Code: Select all

try:
  on "show"....
except:
  pass

I am not quite sure how I would do try/except in screen language...
Is there a way to use an if statement to check if variable game exists first?

EDIT:
Got it, enclosed on 'show' inside of an if (game != None):
