When I left click after dialog has run out it send me to the main menu

I'm sure this is a stupid question with a simple solution but I can't figure out how to fix this ANYWHERE, when the player clicks after the dialogue has stopped id like it to do nothing. (I have a button and it does what i want but when the player clicks anywhere else it does the same thing)

Uhm, so what comes next in your code after the dialogue? Is it the end of the label block and your game? When your game is finished, it automatically will return to the main menu. What else is it supposed to do? You might want to provide your relevant code to get detailed help.

This is the end of my code (the button coding is the only thing that is after the dialog)

Remember that screens need to be placed outside label flow.

The reason the game ends is because you have no more dialogue after you show the screen.
Place the screen definition outside your label and just use the show screen door action you already are, but add some dialogue after that line as well.

I don't want any dialog until after they click on the button. (it's going to be a door to the next section) if I add dialog after it'll just show more text and then the next click will go to the main menu. I only want something to happen when they click on the button, and if they click anywhere else I want nothing to happen. This is just me testing before making the actual game.

Then make screen modal and add a hard pause after showing it.

I spot several mistakes in your code:

1. Line 109 - 115 is not indented, so it's not part of any label / block. This should never be the case for elements of the normal game flow. Playing a game starts at label "start" and every dialogue line should either be part of that label or another label.

2. ShowMenu() as part of your door screen is not what you want, since that function is used for game menu screens (like preferences or the main menu). It's not useful inside an actual game. Use Show() instead!

3. If you want to force a player to interact with a screen, make it modal and call it. The game will continue, whenever you execute the function Return() inside that screen.

Suggestion:

Code: Select all

label going:
    hide nat normal
    e "there"
    show bg temp
    call screen door
    jump SOMEWHERE_ELSE
    
screen door:
    modal True
    imagebutton idle "door":
         action Show("hallway"),Hide("door"),Return()
