How to properly show multiple screens simultaneously

[TeachMeHowToCodee]

Hiya. I'm currently displaying multiple screens at the same time (involving a hud with a map for the 1st screen and a background with clickable objects for the 2nd) using this method:

Code: Select all

label showingscreen:
	show screen1
	call screen2

And I've also tried using this one:

Code: Select all

label showingscreen:
	show screen1
	show screen2
	python:
		ui.interact()

It works mostly fine except when I try to save because everytime I right click or press escape, it returns me to the label before this one.
(i.e: If I was in label room1 for example and I jump to this label and click the map and go to label room2[which works fine], but when I press escape it returns me back to label room1 for some reason)

Are there buttons in screen1 that do action Return()? That might cause your problem, because you're only 'show'ing screen1, so executing a Return will probably pop something unexpected off the stack.

If that's not it, we're probably going to need to see a bunch more of your code to be able to guess what's going on.

No there's nothing like that really. For my screens I do it like this:

Code: Select all

screen a:
	imagebutton auto "screen_a_%s":
		focus_mask True
		action ShowMenu("screen b")

Could you post some more of your actual code? I don't understand what you're doing or why you're doing it that way.

there is a lot of ways of doing this

create a screen called mainUI and put this code

if you want to add more you can and you can also use varible and if/elif/else statements

Code: Select all

screen mainUI():
    use button_task_overlay
    use Character_Screen
    use clock_screen
    use TopBar

open screens.rpy find screen say(who, what): and put this on a new line use mainUI

choice 1:

Code: Select all

screen say(who, what):
    use mainUI
    style_prefix "say"

or you can put this use label start: like this

choice 2:

Code: Select all

label start:
    $ renpy.call_screen("mainUI")
