On screens and image buttons

[maliciousmonster]

Okay well I've been trying to get this to work for a couple of days and no matter what I read, watch, or try, nothing appears to be working. I think I have the very basics down but at the moment it just doesn't appear to be working.

What I'm trying to do is make three images able to be selective, however, I appear to be having trouble making it jump to a certain point in the code when I call the screen. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my coding—the most likely scenario—or if something else is going on.

My code is as such:

Code: Select all

screen class_select():
        imagebutton:
            idle "IMAGEBUTTONS/Soldier dark.png"
            selected_idle "IMAGEBUTTONS/Soldier Symbol1.png"
            action jump ('soldier')

However, the error I get back from this is:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/myscreens.rpy", line 5: u'jump' is not a keyword argument or valid child for the imagebutton statement.
    action jump ('soldier')
               ^

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.12.4.2187

From what I've read it looks right but also knowing me I completely overlooked something in my code. So I either need to figure out how to fix it or find some kind of workaround for what I want to do. Any help you can give me would be appreciated, thanks.

Screen actions are start with capital letter, so that's why Ren'Py complains about 'jump' - it must be 'Jump'.

Perhaps your problem is this... try to write correctly this:

Code: Select all

action [Hide ("class_select"), Jump ("slodier")]

I add the "Hide" command to close the screen when you jump to your label, but if you want that the screen must be shown, so don't add this command.

I, er, actually ended up figuring out how to fix my problem just before I got this reply but thanks for the help anyway!
