[Sloved] A help for a grammar and logic problem about how write a funtion

[deltadidirac]

Hi all,

I never wrote an algorithm or defined a function that executed commands; I will ask you then how to write.

In several games I have seen that you can do the action of closing all the screens regardless of what you are doing or where you are, by calling at the beginning of a label a function that has been created on purpose.

EXAMPLE:

Code: Select all

label garage1:
	$ hideAllScreen ()       ####     in this way all screens you was before will Hide (something like a reset)
	scene 12
	"text text text "
	jump or return...

To do this, we obviously need to define and build the function (I tried to look at what others have done, but not being a programmer I didn't understand anything)

I know that to start we write something like this:

Code: Select all

init python:
	def hideAllScreen():
	.......              #####   and here starts the commends or the operations and so on....

Let's say I have 4 screens (screen1, screen 2, screnn3, screen4) the function to be built will contain this list of names with an action that commands to hide them, in this case independently in which screen I find myself (screen2, or screen 4 ), the function will hide it anyway.

Can anyone help me by writing the function (or algorithm) based on this simple example?
Being able to see an example, I can then understand the logic with which everything is written, and then apply it to my game.

It would save me from an endless series of problems I'm having,
thanks
bye

Try it like

Code: Select all

init python:
    def hide_my_screens():
        my_list = ["screen_1", "my_other_screen", "gui_screen"] # list of screen names
        # this will hide screens that are in a list
        for screen_name in my_list: # 'screen_name' is just a name of variable
            renpy.hide_screen(screen_name) # without quotes, 'cause it's a name of variable not the actual screen name

        # this will hide screens, named 'screen_0', ..., 'screen_99'
        for i in range(100): # 'i' will have value from 0 to 99
            scr_name = "screen_{}".format(i)
            renpy.hide_screen(scr_name)

label my_label:
    $ hide_my_screens()
    "?!"

Thanks Alex kind as always, you saved me, now I will try immediately...
