Calling Multiple Screens

[galadain]

I'd like to setup a imagemap where selecting a button calls a new screen for another image map.

Code: Select all

   screen game1_p1():

     imagemap:
       ground "game1_p1_start.png"

       hotspot (33, 210, 226, 93) action Call ("game1_p1_5")
       hotspot (33, 318, 222, 98) action Call ("game1_p1_4")

   screen game1_p1_5():

     imagemap:
       ground "game1_p1_5.png"

       hotspot (33, 318, 222, 98) action Call ("game1_p1_4")

Calling the first screen works fine. How do I go directly to the next screen from WITHIN the imagemap?

Maybe this will clarify a bit.

I know I can do it this way by jumping to labels then calling new screens each time.

Code: Select all

label game1_p1_start:

   call screen game1_p1

Code: Select all

   screen game1_p1():

     imagemap:
       ground "game1_p1_start.png"

       hotspot (33, 210, 226, 93) action Jump ("game1_p1_5")
       hotspot (33, 318, 222, 98) action Jump ("game1_p1_4")

Code: Select all

label game1_p1_5:

   call screen game1_p1_5

Code: Select all

   screen game1_p1_5():

     imagemap:
       ground "game1_p1_5.png"

       hotspot (33, 318, 222, 98) action Jump ("game1_p1_4")

Code: Select all

label game1_p1_4:

   call screen game1_p1_3

But I'd rather not keep bouncing back and forth like that. There's got to be a better way to do this.

You must understand what a call does, a call must return to where it was called from. So if you call multiple screens, you must make sure the game returns from each, to the screen it came from.

This can be confusing and hard to manage.

What is it you're trying to achieve, there may be better ways to achieve it.

Almost like a waterfall. At first the user has five button options to pick from. Then four and so on. They are only allowed three choices to get the correct combination. So if their choices are 5 to 1 and in round 1 the choose 4, then in round 2 their choices are 5, 3-1.

You could make a Function that calls the passed screen name.
Another easier way is to use

Code: Select all

Show("game1_p1_5") 

instead, and give your screens a:

Code: Select all

modal True
