[SOLVED] Custom links to short scenes in menu

[liagel]

Hello!

I have an issue in my main menu.
I try to make a custom menu with the basics :

Code: Select all

        ... action ShowMenu("load")
        ... action Start()
        ... action ShowMenu("preferences")
        ... action Quit()

What I wanted to do now, is adding a link to a short scene which is not in the main story (like a bonus scene the player can access from the menu.)

Let's call this scene "scenebonus" which will be like this:

Code: Select all

label scenebonus:
   scene bonus1
   with dissolve
   pause
   scene bonus2
   with dissolve
   pause
   ...
   
   Return

It is just an example, I know indentation is not respected here.
I saved this files in scenebonus.rpy


So I tried :

Code: Select all

action ShowMenu("scenebonus")

But I have a black screen but with the right audio file playing...

Code: Select all

action Jump("scenebonus")

But it make me play the main game...

Code: Select all

action Replay("scenebonus")

And it works perfectly fine, this is exactly what I was looking for!
But of course, to have Replay working, you have to have seen the scene already...

So, I don't know what to do...
If you guys have any idea, I'm really open to any suggestion

Thank you for your help!

Hi liagel!
First of all I'm new to programming/renpy, so my answer may not be right

try to use:

Code: Select all

action Call("scenebonus")

also, keep the "return" at the end of the label scenebonus. This way it will bring back to where you were before you called the label itself.
I hope it works

Edit:
I just noticed that you wrote Return with a capital R. Is that a typo?

The correct approach is to "start" at the scene.

Code: Select all

action start("scenebonus")

Thank you both for your answers.

"Start" is working. I have tried it before, but as I tried to make my scene in another screen, Ren'Py didn't like it.

Thank you for your help !
