How can I hide the textbox when calling a screen?

[jacob_ax]

Hi everyone!
As the title says, I'm trying to make some screens that will hide the textbox when they are called. So far I've just been able to prevent dialogues from going on by using

Code: Select all

screen some_screen:
	modal True

but the textbox still remain...

the command:

Code: Select all

window hide

doesn't work inside a screen...

Code: Select all

screen some_screen:
                   background None
                   modal True

[jacob_ax]

Code: Select all

screen some_screen:
                   background None
                   modal True

I get "background is not a valid child for the screen statement"

Nvm. Here, try it.

Code: Select all

define _preferences.show_empty_window = False

EDIT: No, i mean, try add something to your screen, then test it.

the screen has a few things in it: buttons, frames etc...
the problem is that the textbox doesn't go away...

I'm going off of memory but you can try to add

Code: Select all

 tag menu

or you can call the screen vs show the screen maybe?
you can also hide the textbox with

Code: Select all

 window hide

Thanks Scribbles,
unfortunately neither of those work

But I realize now that I asked the question badly...
What I really need is something like this: I have a label, when I reach the end of it I don't want to leave the label, I just want stay there without going anywhere unless there is a "jump" or "call" or something else.

Code: Select all

label some_label_name:
	show background beach
	show screen some_buttons
	eileen "Hello!"
	jack "Hello to you Eileen"
	#nothing more here, but I still want to stay in this label showing the background and the buttons

The reason why I want it like this is that I will leave that label by clicking some buttons on the screen "some_buttons".

Would reordering slightly to achieve this be acceptible? It should be possible to do this:

Code: Select all

label some_label_name:
	show background beach
	eileen "Hello!"
	jack "Hello to you Eileen"
	call screen some_buttons # using call here will wait until the screen exits before proceeding
	return # this is just a safety, and won't be used if you jump out of the screen

Thanks strayerror! That works great

the command:

window hide is not a screen statement, it's part of your script (it pretty much just toggles a variable, that if True, shows the window)

To use it, put it in your script, before calling your screen.

Code: Select all

    window hide
    call screen my_screen
    window auto
    "my game continues"

Thanks Imperf3kt, now it works even better
