How to pass a variable to the button action when calling the screen?

[span4ev]

Code: Select all

screen statsNames():
    
    for i in range(len(open_persons_list)):

        $ current_class_name = open_persons_list[i]

        textbutton current_class_name:

            # I want to put it here and use the variable in another screen, but I don't understand how to do it.
            # I get an error "str object is not callable"
            #                           |
            #                           |
            #                          \ /
            hovered Show('test(current_class_name)')

            action NullAction()

screen test(class_name):
    frame:
        text class_name

usually without passing arguments it works like this:

hovered Show('statsDetail')

I've tried a bunch of different options but i don't understand this syntax

Code: Select all

hovered Show('test(current_class_name)')
hovered Show('test[current_class_name]')
hovered Show('test([current_class_name])')
hovered Show('test', 'current_class_name')
hovered Show('test', current_class_name)
hovered Show('test', $ current_class_name)
hovered Show('test', [current_class_name])
hovered Show('test', [$ current_class_name])
hovered Show('test', '[$ current_class_name]')
hovered Show('test', ['current_class_name'])
hovered Show('test', '[current_class_name]')

Use keywords arguments:

Code: Select all

Show('test', class_name=current_class_name)

Use keywords arguments:

Code: Select all

Show('test', class_name=current_class_name)

Thank you very much! You are my hero. It really works. I don't know why the syntax is the way it is, but it is.

Yesterday, out of desperation, I used this approach:

Code: Select all

init python:
    
    def some_func(class_name):
        renpy.show_screen('test', class_name)

screen statsNames():
    
    style_prefix 'statsNames_'
    frame:
        $ class_name = '5555'
        textbutton 'gggg':
            hovered Function(some_func, class_name)
            action NullAction()

screen test(class_name):
    frame:
        text class_name

The second argument, if not a keyword arg, is transition. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_actions.html#Show

I am missing a code example to see how I can use this
