Showing text after clicking on a textbutton?

[marew603]

Is there any way I can have the main character say something after clicking on a textbutton? I have a phone icon on top of the screen that pulls up a screen and you can decide what to do, like view stats and contacts, etc. I have two versions of the screen. phone() and phonereview(). You can call friends when it's time to study and hang out with them but while the main story is progressing you cannot. I want to make it so when you try to call up a friend when the main story is occurring the character says something like. "I can't call them right now, let's wait until we get home."

heres the code for both screens, the error screen is just a message saying the mechanic isn't functional yet:

screen phone():
modal True
add "phoneguiv1" xalign 0.5 yalign 0.5
vbox yalign 0.32 xalign 0.4 spacing 70:
textbutton "{color=#000}Messages{/color}" action Show ("error")
textbutton "{color=#000}Camera{/color}" action Show("error")
textbutton "{color=#000}Bonds{/color}" action Show ("bonds"), Hide ("phone")
vbox yalign 0.32 xalign 0.5 spacing 70:
textbutton "{color=#000}Contacts{/color}" action Show ("error") # show text here?
textbutton "{color=#000}Schedule{/color}" action Show ("error")
textbutton "{color=#000}Stats{/color}" action Show ("error")
vbox yalign 0.32 xalign 0.6 spacing 70:
textbutton "{color=#000}Birds{/color}" action Show ("error")
textbutton "{color=#000}R.P.{/color}" action Show ("rp"), Hide ("phone")
textbutton "{color=#000}go back{/color}" action Hide ("phone")

screen phonereview():
modal True
add "phoneguiv1" xalign 0.5 yalign 0.5
vbox yalign 0.32 xalign 0.4 spacing 70:
textbutton "{color=#000}Messages{/color}" action Show ("error")
textbutton "{color=#000}Camera{/color}" action Show("error")
textbutton "{color=#000}Bonds{/color}" action Show ("bonds"), Hide ("phone")
vbox yalign 0.32 xalign 0.5 spacing 70:
textbutton "{color=#000}Contacts{/color}" action Show ("contacts"), Hide ("phone")
textbutton "{color=#000}Schedule{/color}" action Show ("error")
textbutton "{color=#000}Stats{/color}" action Show ("error")
vbox yalign 0.32 xalign 0.6 spacing 70:
textbutton "{color=#000}Birds{/color}" action Show ("error")
textbutton "{color=#000}R.P.{/color}" action Show ("rp"), Hide ("phone")
textbutton "{color=#000}go back{/color}" action Hide ("phone")

If it's not possible to say something after clicking on a textbutton then is there a way to do something similar? I just picked up renpy not too long ago so I'm still learning and I'd love some tips and tricks.

you can call a label (create a short label with a return that has the dialogue you want) with the textbutton

Code: Select all

action Call("your_label_name_here")
