How to make a textbox jump to or call a screen

[Hudacious]

I know for a fact that this is probably a silly issue with an easy fix but I can't seem to get it working.

I found an open source email messaging system on this site and have been experimenting with it.
I'd like to be able to have the user press the "EXIT" textbutton then return to a screen.

This is the code initially:

Code: Select all

textbutton "Exit" action Hide("mailbox")

This is what I have tried to do:

Code: Select all

textbutton "Exit" action call screen ("PC")

I have tried that with different variations but I always recieve an error saying:

"File "game/messages.rpy", line 174: u'call' is not a keyword argument or valid child for the textbutton statement.
textbutton "Exit" action call screen ("PC")"

I've then tried various other attempts such as trying to jump to a label each with no effect.

If it helps; my exact intention is to take the player to the PC screen once they click the Exit button.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Try

Code: Select all

textbutton "Exit" action Show("PC")

If you want to jump to a label it would be Jump("PC")

So you need to start with an uppcase-letter in screens for these commands. You can use Call as well, but I've had some strange results with that from screens, though that might just be me doing stuff wrong.

Thanks a ton for your reply!

Unfortunately I keep coming across a specific issue.

If I use these codes

Code: Select all

textbutton "Exit" action Show("PC")

Code: Select all

textbutton "Exit" action Call("PC")

Code: Select all

textbutton "Exit" action Jump("PC_Label")

All that happens is that the screen goes to an empty screen and just freezes, as in, I can't click, press or do anything.

Any idea on what the issue could be?

Cheers.

The problem is probably somewhere else in the code, not with that specific line.

If you show more of the code we have a better change of seeing what might be the problem.
