Manually calling the load screen

[hrodohaidis]

Instead of the default main menu, I wanted to replace it with an 'animal-crossing-esque' type screen where you are greeted by a character in the game. I've gotten this to almost fully work, except I can't figure out how to call the load screen without the use of a button.

Preferably, I'd like the main menu to be 'dialog-orientated'--i.e., no menu buttons to press. I assume that, since the load screen is a screen defined in screens.py, there should be a way to call it in this context. If not, using textbuttons wouldn't be the end of the world.

Right now this is my basic code...

Code: Select all

label main_menu:
	'Have I seen you around here before?'
		menu: 
			'Yes.':
				# This is where I would want to call the load screen.
				ShowMenu('load')
				
			'No, I'm new.':
				# Using return in the main menu *should* start the game at the start label
				return

I've also attempted call, show, etc...
I'm guessing there's probably an obvious solution to this but I just can't figure it out... I think most of the methods I'm trying are outdated in some way. Or maybe I'm just forgetting something really small and simple.
Any ideas?

You can use screen actions outside the screen, try

Code: Select all

$ ShowMenu('load')()
