[Solved] How to keep a called screen showing after its imagebutton jumps, without breaking say?

[henvu50]

edit| I figured it out. I'm being stupid again, I can't think in Ren'py yet, but I'm getting there. I modfied the code. All I had to do was just show a background image. *facepalm*

Code: Select all

label start:

     image bg background50 = "background.png"
     scene bg background50 

     jump gameLoop
     return
     
label gameLoop:

     call screen ihatescreens
     return
     
screen ihatescreens():
    modal True
    # add "background.png"
    imagebutton auto "i_%s.png":
          focus_mask True
          action Jump ("test001")
          
label test001:
    #no one told you to go away
    #show screen again, *sigh*
    #show screen ihatescreens

    # this gets shown
    say "bla bla bla" 

    # this gets shown
    say "fdfadf"
    
    # go back to the game loop so the user can choose from a variety of imagebuttons, always returning to that screen
    jump gameLoop

The above basic framework took me 27 hours to figure out. This is TERRIBLE. Absolutely terrible.

This functionality is extremely popular among Ren'py games, but this basic bare bone framework doesn't exist anywhere. I tried and tried searching for it on the forum.
