[SOLVED] Countdown Timer won't jump to a label when it ends?

[CaleAlexander]

I'm having some trouble with my countdown timer. When the timer ends I want it to immediately jump to a label but right now it just flashes 0 and does nothing. There's no error message, it just doesn't do anything.
Here is the code for the timer that I found on another forum post. The only thing I changed is the length of the timer.

Code: Select all

init:
    python:

        # This function will run a countdown of the given length. It will
        # be white until 5 seconds are left, and then red until 0 seconds are
        # left, and then will blink 0.0 when time is up. 
        def countdown(st, at, length=0.0):

            remaining = length - st

            if remaining > 2.0:
                return Text("%.1f" % remaining, color="#fff", size=72), .1
            elif remaining > 0.0:
                return Text("%.1f" % remaining, color="#f00", size=72), .1
            else:
                return anim.Blink(Text("0.0", color="#f00", size=72)), None


    # Show a countdown for 60 seconds.
    image countdown = DynamicDisplayable(countdown, length=60.0)

Here's the code I have several lines down for starting the timer and jumping to the label "timesup" when it ends (also pasted from the other post.)

Code: Select all

    
    show countdown
    $ ui.timer(5.0, ui.jumps("timesup"))

Here's the label "timesup" several lines down.

Code: Select all

label timesup:
    hide countdown
    stop music
    mc "I'm completely lost..."

Any way to get this to work? I'm very new to renpy so apologies if the solution is obvious.

That's pretty old code. Try something newer, like viewtopic.php?f=8&t=33120#p379109

Thanks, but I'm not attempting to use a single timed menu for this portion. The player has to navigate through several different menus within a time limit. Here's a section of my code for this:

Code: Select all

label gspuzzlep2:
    menu:
        "Left aisle":
            play sound "kart.wav"
            jump incorrect2
        "Center aisle":
            play sound "kart.wav"
            jump correct5
        "Right aisle":
            play sound "kart.wav"
            jump incorrect3

Code: Select all

label correct5:
    menu:
        "Left aisle":
            play sound "kart.wav"
            jump incorrect2
        "Center aisle":
            play sound "kart.wav"
            jump incorrect3
        "Right aisle":
            play sound "kart.wav"

My intention is a minigame like the Lost Woods in Zelda where you have multiple paths and if you go the wrong way you go back to the beginning. Is there any way to make this work with a time limit or should I scrap the timer all together? Thanks.

Uh... that has nothing to do with the screen I linked to. Just show the countdown screen and put whatever puzzle you want after it, it'll still jump after the timer unless you turn it off.

Sorry for my confusion, I was getting errors trying to paste this into my script file so I assumed the menus were the issue. It actually works perfect, thanks so much for your patience! :^)
