Suppressing the overlay when hiding window [solved]

[thebackup]

I'm quite stumped on suppressing / hiding overlays when hiding windows. I have an overlay screen that is added to this config variable:

Code: Select all

init python:
    config.overlay_screens.append("dayinfo")

It displays just fine, but hiding it along with the window is a bit of a problem. These don't work:

Code: Select all

    scene black with fade
    window hide
    with Pause(1.0)

Code: Select all

    scene black with fade
    window hide
    hide screen dayinfo
    with Pause(1.0)

Code: Select all

    scene black with fade
    HideInterface() # I know this is a screen action, but it throws a parsing error, gotta try at least right?
    with Pause(1.0

The "dayinfo" overlay screen just stays on-screen even when the window is hidden. The "HideInterface" screen action is really close to what I'm looking for as it hides the screen overlays, but I'd like to toggle them on/off manually as it goes line-by-line in my script. I've also tried setting this:

Code: Select all

    define config.overlay_during_with = False

But that jars the overall appearance of my game whenever I show/hide my sprites. Any ideas on toggling overlay screens on/off manually?

EDIT
After some digging I found a simple solution, just toggle this variable:

Code: Select all

$suppress_overlay = True
