[Solved] Changing values of variables with a screen action

[Chekhov]

I've been trying to get a better grip on the screen language. What is the right way to use screens to change a variable?

Something like

Code: Select all

textbutton _("hide nudity") action SetVariable(persistent.nudity_, "off")

doesn't work. Because persistent values aren't just strings. Any ideas on how to resolve this smartly?
I've ran into the same problem when I wanted to change integer values. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Code: Select all

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rpartition'

First argument to SetVariable is name of the variable, not the vairable itself. SetVariable("hours", 5)

The `name` argument must be a string, and can be a simple name like "strength", or
one with dots separating the variable from fields, like "hero.strength"
or "persistent.show_cutscenes".[/qoute]
