Jumping back to the intro instead of the main menu?

[chesarty]

Hello again. I have this little issue where every time I click back to the main menu or finish playing the game, instead of just showing me the menu the game goes to the intro I have (a warning screen and a screen where you can input your name. I will be also adding a logo and an intro so those would also probably play...)

This is kind of annoying so is there a way to make it not loop from the very beginning?

Here is the start of my game:

Code: Select all

label before_main_menu:
    n"The game includes violence, crude language, gore and sexual content, and is not recommended for those
     under the age of 16 or for the weak-minded. By clicking 'NEXT' you understand this and proceed with caution."
    
    
    show popup
    $ player_name = renpy.input("")    
    $ player_name = player_name.strip()
    $ you.name = player_name.capitalize()

    if player_name == "":
        $ player_name="MC"
    hide popup with fade
        #play intro here
        
label main_menu:
    call screen main_menu
label restart:
    call screen confirm (message = u "Restart?", yes_action = Start(), no_action = Jump("main_menu"))



label start:

I even intentionally put

Code: Select all

call main_menu

instead of

Code: Select all

return

at the very end of my script to prevent this from happening, but it loops no matter what :/

Try this one:

Code: Select all

#variables
#(...)
#-------

#code intro
label splashscreen:
#(...)

#-----------
label start:
# More code here....

#------------

label final:
    "This is the end. Goodbye."

    # Reset splashscreen label game
    $ renpy.full_restart(transition=False, label='splashscreen', target='_splashscreen') #<----this line

I tried this function.
I hope it works for you.

Calling things like that isn't advised, I suspect it's the cause of your issue (you must "return" from a call, unlike a jump). The main menu isn't a regular screen either, it exists in a different context, so calling it like that will not fix your issue, rather it will compound it.

If you just want to brute force your way back to the main menu, add this to the end of your script (in place of a final "return")

$renpy.full_restart()
Or alternatively
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_a ... l#MainMenu
$MainMenu()


Again, I strongly suggest using this as a last resort only and instead focus on finding the cause of the loop.


"main_menu" is on the reserved names index. As well as Main_Menu

I'm sorry, but it works on every project I have.

Alternative 1:

Code: Select all

$ renpy.full_restart(transition=False, label='splashscreen', target='_splashscreen')

Alternative 2:

Code: Select all

$ renpy.utter_restart()

the problem is that those codes "fully restart" the game, which means it will automatically show the warning screen again, too...

This one doesn't

Oof, that's the one I'm currently using and yes, it does go through the before_main_menu label

label main_menu: 
call screen before_main_menu 

label restart: call screen confirm (message = u "Restart?", yes_action = Start(), no_action Jump("before_main_menu"))

For what i see, main_menu will be called as you restart and it will cause a infinite loop, try this one, so lets see if it works now.
