Show Menu after clicking through the dialogue

[lorenzopolo]

There is a function that allows me to show a menu after clicking on a button. Is there a way for me to show the menu after clicking through text/dialogue? As in it will appear after the player has clicked through the text?

One way to achieve this is to call a label as the button's action which then uses normal renpy statements to display the dialogue and then the menu. Finally, the labelled section can return control back to the button. It is key however that this labelled section is declared before the start label so it's not encountered during the main control flow.

Code: Select all

label foo:
    "This is dialogue."
    menu:
        "Choices..."
        "Option A":
            "You chose A."
        "Option B":
            "You chose B."
    return

screen bar:
    button "Click Me":
        action Call("foo")

label start:
    show screen bar

I didn't know that, thank you! However, I should've been more specific as the ShowMenu that I was referring to was of the screens like this:

Code: Select all

textbutton "something":
	action [ShowMenu("map_screen")]

This is used in a button, but I would like to trigger it after the player has clicked through the dialogue.

I am trying to show a map where the player would be able to select their destination, hiding the dialogue. I have a workaround of manually hiding stuff, but I'm trying to find a more efficient way to do it.
