Help with Actions in Screen Language

[Octavise]

Is there a screen language version of ui.interaction. I see that the screen language has some actions that return values but i have yet to find out how to retrieve said values.

The manual says "If the action returns a value, then the value is returned from an interaction."
http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_ac ... ml#actions

I've been looking all over the site but I am having trouble finding anything that mentions how to access the results.

example code is:

Code: Select all

screen test_button:
    zorder 100
    textbutton "Advance" action Return(5)

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Generally, if you have a button that returns a value within a screen, you will want to use "call screen" or "renpy.call_screen" rather than "show screen."

Ah ... thank you for the fast response. I wondered why _return didn't work. I guess i'll have to find another method of overlays. thanks again
