[Solved] Preventing the player to progress while in a screen

[Adrian_DVL]

Hi mates!

Situation: I have a game where there are parts of straight VN and parts of dating sim, in which I add screens that act as menus for the different options and -and I think this is important- they include imagebuttons, not an imagemap or whatever.

Okay, now I want to show screen whatever-its-name and I want to keep advancing through the text and the scenes for a while until a certain point, where I want the player to interact with the screen WITHOUT the text and the scenes in the main label advancing anymore. In a nutshell, I'd like to disable the CTC feature until the player hits an imagebutton, each one of which has different calls and jumps to other labels.

How can I do that in an efficient and simple way? Setting the screens as modal doesn't seem to work... Thanks!

EDIT!!! I said that all wrong: modal True indeed works! What I meant is that I don't know how to alternate the screen between being modal and not modal while is showing. That's why I'm asking for another way to do this, maybe.

Call another (empty) screen. This will "lock" the player interaction until you issue a "return" of some kind.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Thank you!
