[solved] Is there another way I can delete the messages?

[Nanahs]

I'm using the first messenger on my game:
viewtopic.php?f=51&t=50153

When the conversation ends, I give the player the choice to play the chat again or jump to the next scene. Something like this:

Code: Select all

    menu afterchatchoose:

        "PLAY THE CHAT AGAIN":
            jump chatscene1
        
        "GO TO THE NEXT CHAPTER":
            jump parkatnight3

The problem is that when they jump to the chat label again (label chatscene1), the previous messages don't disappear. So you can play again, but the prevous messages will keep inside the chat.

I tried adding this to the label (hide screen):

Code: Select all

label chatscene1:
    scene bluechat
    hide screen telegram
    show screen telegram

But that doesn't delete the messages either.

The "X" deletes/resets the chat messages:



It's defined like this on screen telegram:

Code: Select all

        button background style_button_inst hover_background style_button_hovr xalign 0.99 yalign 0.03 action Function(del_all_msg) xysize (60,60):
            text "  x  " style "txt_base" size 40 pos (36, -2) 
        # Ползунок прокрутки

But people will not remember to click the X to reset it. They will click "PLAY CHAT AGAIN" and it will look all messed up.

So I was wondering, is there another way I could make this "action Function(del_all_msg)" work?

I know that something like this is not possible:

Code: Select all

        "PLAY THE CHAT AGAIN":
            action Function(del_all_msg)
            jump chatscene1

But I wanted to know if there's a similar way I can do it. To "del_all_msg" without clicking the X.
Make it be "automatic" when the person clicks "PLAY THE CHAT AGAIN".

Thanks

Note that dell_al_msg is a python function. You can call it inside a screen with Function() but you also can call it inside a label with the simple $.
$ is used to start a python line inside a label, so, this should work:

Code: Select all

        "PLAY THE CHAT AGAIN":
            $ del_all_msg()
            jump chatscene1

Thank you much! It worked
