[SOLVED] Using a Screen Inside of a Function gives 'Not Defined' error
Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2020 11:02 pm
My goal is to have an option that, when enabled by the player, will cause a bar to appear in the upper-left hand corner when a music track starts, which will have a little icon of a music note and the name of the song. This is for folks who want to know the names of the songs, folks who cannot hear the audio and want cues to know when the audio atmosphere has changed, etc.
To do this, I've created a screen based off of ren'py's notify screen. I didn't use the notify screen itself because I still want to use the notify screen for other functionalities.
The code for the music track change screen is in the screens.rpy file and reads as follows:
I know this screen works fine because if I use 'show screen' directly in the script, it appears. That's not how I want to use it, however, as that would be tedious.
In a separate defineables.rpy file I have defines kept which includes the class of music files, and my function for playing songs:
To play music in the script itself I just use the following:
And here is the traceback I get:
So I'm assuming the error has something to do with global/local definitions? Like play_music() can't reach track_change to use it? But I don't know how to fix that.
Also, if it helps, I also tried the following:
If I try renpy.track_change() instead of just track_change(), I get
And if instead of that, I try renpy.notify(), then it appears just fine..
I just can't seem to get my track_change screen to work...
If anyone could offer some advice, it'd be greatly appreciated.
