[Solved] Creating displayable character element with ToggleVariable

[kostek00]

I'm creating character gallery where user can pick body, face emotion and other stuff to show. I'm stuck with ToggleVariable to add and remove from sprite. It throws me error "The variable other does not exist."

I do have it created in screen?:

Code: Select all

default blush = None

This is button to toggle it:

Code: Select all

textbutton "BLUSH":
                        text_style "page_text"
                        style "page_textbutton"

                        if body is not "blush_image":
                            hovered Play("system",guisfx_button_hover)
                        action [Play("system",guisfx_button_click),
                                SelectedIf(blush=="blush_image"),
                                ToggleVariable("blush", true_value="blush_image", false_value=False)]

                        at gui_buttonfade

It's possible you defined your other variable in the wrong place hence the error. If it's alright with you, can you share the code where you defined your other and where it is used. I don't see anywhere in your code where you used the variable so I'm unclear whether it really is a problem with your toggle variable.

Oh wait i forgot i changed all "other" to "blush" so error should be "The variable blush does not exist."

This variable is in the same screen that button is:

Code: Select all

screen cg_page3(page=3):
    tag menu

    default blush = None

It's "None" because by default I don't want it to show "blush" on character.

Don't define it in the screen (that makes it a screen variable, which is local to the screen, rather than a regular, global variable).

Oh, that solved the problem. Thank you.

Also I had to change "false_value" to "None" otherwise it was crashing when hiding blush.
