pausing dialogue while "about" screen is open

Hey all,

How would I stop the user from advancing the dialogue when they click on the background image of my "About" screen (or any other popup overlay)? Right now I have a python hack where I just close the window any time the user clicks on the screen, but that's not ideal. Can I solve this problem without deephacking? I've tried to search for answers on here but I'm not finding anything obvious.

Try to set 'modal' property for your 'About' screen - https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens. ... -statement

Oh great; I guess I should have looked at the word 'modal' more closely when I was scanning. Thanks!

Either set the modal to true, or call the screen rather than show the screen.
