Showing a screen within a screen?

[Tritonials]

My visual novel has tons of imagemaps, and the point of my visual novel is to move around different places. But i also need to show money or variables. I tried screens but the imagemap screen overlapped the variables screen.

Can i somehow show a screen within a screen or is there other way?

Just give the screens with the money/variables, etc. a higher zorder, it will make it show up above screens with a lower zorder:

Okay, i did what you did. I set the zorder level for the variables screen to 1 and the imagemaps to 0.

Code: Select all

screen hello():
    zorder 1

    frame:
        xpadding 40
        ypadding 10
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.0


        hbox:
            text "[money]"
            null height 10


screen bedroom:
    zorder 0
    imagemap:
        if time_of_day[0] == "Night":
            ground "bedroom_night.jpg"
            hover "bedroom_night_hover.jpg"

            hotspot (123, 456, 789, 100)action Jump("etc")
           
        else:
            ground "bedroom.jpg"
            hover "bedroom_hover.jpg"

            hotspot (123, 456, 789, 100) action Jump("etc")
            

Some imagemaps show the variables screen while still showing the imagemaps but not all do. I also set ALL imagemaps to zorder 0 while the screen variables to 1.

You can use the "use screen_name" screen language.
Depending on how you set up your screens, that is.

It generally goes at the bottom of your screen code, but it depends where you need it to show up.

[trooper6]

So it works with some imagemaps but not others. What is the difference between the times when it works and the times it doesn’t? Is there difference in your screen code or how you show/call the screens?

If you are getting different results, then something different is in the code. Try to isolate that difference.

Ah, sorry for the late reply but all i had to do was restart the game! I'm very sorry for wasting your time. Although, thanks for all your help and effort.
