Odd issue with Calling screens

[Thundy]

Hey folks.

I have a screen that I use to display tutorials and other game information. I do so by calling the screen whilst passing the information i want to display through as a string.
For some strange reason when i display the screen the messages are always one behind. I.e.

If i display the screen five times with the the strings "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" passed into it respectively
I get the output "a", "a", "b", "c", "d"

Any ideas why that might be

Code for the screen is:

Code: Select all

screen GuideScreen(inf):
    frame:
        xpadding 25
        ypadding 25
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5
        has vbox
        label "Game Guide" xminimum 400
        text "[inf]"
        text ""
        button:
            text "{font=gui/fonts/GOTHIC.TTF}{color=#ffffff}{size=12}Close{/font}"
            background "#333"
            ypadding 3
            xpadding 14
            xalign 1.0
            yalign 1.0
            action Return()
            

and to display the screen i just do a:

Code: Select all

call screen GuideScreen("This is my message")

I did a quick test run of your code and it worked without any problem for me.

Your problem probably is somewhere else in the code. You could not possibly have two calls with message "a"?

By the way, since 'inf' already is a string you don't have to do
text "[inf]"

text inf
will work fine.

Thanks for the assist. It seems to have sorted itself out on its own which is worrying.
