Image Map and variable update

[Starvy_Jedi]

Hi guys! This forum is amazing! And I'm learning a lot.

Just a stupid noob question.

I'm using the "Simple script for a day_night cycle, or rather a morning, noon, evening & night cycle" from the cookbook.
It works like a charme.
Now, in my game, I'm using a button (an hotspot in an image map) to manually skip day times...
I'm doing this calling a label.

Code: Select all

imagemap:
     ground "buttons/ui_ground.png"
     idle "buttons/ui_idle.png"
     hover "buttons/ui_hover.png"
     hotspot (1006, 15, 123, 114) action Call ("timeflow1") #skip daytime
        
label timeflow1:
    $ clock.advance() # advances time by one slot
    "You spent some time fooling around..."
    return

So the question is: can I set that $ clock.advance() directly inside the hotspot action?

Code: Select all

action Function( clock.advance )

If that doesn't update things as you want, perhaps add a restart interaction...

Code: Select all

action [ Function( clock.advance ), Function( renpy.restart_interaction ) ]

Thank u very much Remix!

The first one works perfectly!

The second one is very interesting!
I'm sure I will need the restart_interaction soon or later... I take note!

Code: Select all

action Function( clock.advance )

If that doesn't update things as you want, perhaps add a restart interaction...

Code: Select all

action [ Function( clock.advance ), Function( renpy.restart_interaction ) ]
