Using Array for Menu items?

[kzmaster]

Greetings all,

I'm completely stumped on how to get this function to work properly. For this game, a player can have between 1-5 characters.
I'm trying to establish a character select screen that retrieves the player's character(s) from an API and returns them in an array.

But I can't figure out how to list the items in the array as as selectable menu items.

Code: Select all

"Train Character":
            python:
                r = requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/getchars/' + username)
                r = r.json()
                fighters = r['fighters']
                fighter_names = []
                for i in fighters:
                    fighter_names.append(i)
                j = 0
            jump character_select

    label character_select:                
        screen hbox_screen:
            hbox:
                while j < len(fighter_names):
                textbutton "[fighter_names[j]]"
                $ j += 1  
                

Any help is appreciated!

You should'nt define a screen inside a label, you need to define it outside of a block, and then call the screen from the label with a show screen or call screen statement.
Also, in the screen, be sure to check indentation, in the while loop textbuttons should be indented below the statement or it will cause errors. And why not use for loop instead of while?

Code: Select all

# outside of label
screen hbox_screen:
    hbox:
        for i in fighter_names:
            textbutton i action NullAction() #here would go the function that would run when character is selected

# in your script, after filling the array
label character_select:
    call screen hbox_screen
