[Solved] Action "Jump to the next page"?

[Nanahs]

I needed a textbutton that would simply jump to the next label, without "telling" which label it is. Something that has the same function of jumping as when you click anywehere on the game screen.

So I found (https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_actions.html):

Code: Select all

FilePageNext(max=None, wrap=False, auto=True, quick=True) link
Goes to the next file page.

max
If set, this should be an integer that gives the number of the maximum file page we can go to.
wrap
If true, we can go to the first page when on the last file page if max is set.
auto
If true and wrap is set, this can bring the player to the page of automatic saves.
quick
If true and wrap is set, this can bring the player to the page of automatic saves.

I tried using it many ways, like this one:

Code: Select all

screen taptoanswer:

        textbutton "{image=taptoanswer}" action FilePageNext()

But it didn't work. It's actually blocking to the game from jumping to the next label

The reason why I want a button that simply jumps to the next part without "telling" the label, is that I'm using it in my messenger.



This screen would always show up when the player can answer the message.
I wanted the person to be able to answer (go to the next label) only when clicking where it's "ANSWER".

If I use something like:

Code: Select all

screen taptoanswer:

        textbutton "{image=taptoanswer}" action Jump(jhonchat3)

I will have to create different a screen to each jump. And that you be A LOT and very confusing

So I wanted one simple buttom that would simply jump to the next label, without the need of specifying it.

Does anyone know if this code still works, or if I can use it or a code like this for that purpose?
Maybe this one is for "saved files" and I'm trying to use it for something that has nothing to do with it (which I believe that it's what's happening )

Thanks.

Yes, this is the wrong action - it used in save/load screens only to move through the pages of save slots.
Try Return() action, it makes the game progress like if player clicks - https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_a ... tml#Return
If it won't solve your issue, then show the code you have:
- how you use this screen (show or call),
- what are those labels you want the game jump to,
- how this message system works, etc.

It worked like this:

Code: Select all

screen taptoanswer():
    modal True
    textbutton "{image=taptoanswer}" pos(250,1180) action Return()

Hello!
Sorry to bother you again.

But when I use:

Code: Select all

screen taptoanswer():
    modal True
    textbutton "{image=taptoanswer}" pos(250,1180) action Return()

The other textbuttons become "unclickable" and also the scrollbar. Is it the "modal True" that does it?

Yes, modal property forces player to interact with the given screen and not the others, so you need to put your "tap to answer" button in a screen with other buttons to make them work simultaneously.
