Custom menu - JumpOutException?

[Mild Curry]

I'm trying to create a custom menu with an imagemap, which looks like this:

Code: Select all

label main_menu:
    $ result = renpy.imagemap("title_screen.png", "title_screen2.png", [
        (475, 370, 704, 439, "enter"), (474, 444, 704, 506, "cheat"),(474, 511, 704, 572, "quit")
    
    if result == "enter":
        hide mainmenu
        $ renpy.jump_out_of_context("start")
    #and then the other options

But it keeps returning this error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

JumpOutException: start

While running game code:
 - script call at line 753 of renpy-6.11.2/common/00library.rpy
 - script at line 84 of C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\ren'py projects\Mr. Toko!/game/script.rpy
 - python at line 84 of C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\ren'py projects\Mr. Toko!/game/script.rpy.

So, someone, please help. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

It seems likely that you're not actually in a menu context. Could you have fallen through from the splashscreen to the main_menu, or something like that?

That...that is probably exactly it. I didn't know there was such a thing as a 'menu context' but, yeah, the splashscreen comes right before...

Looks like this:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
#splashscreen plays

label main_menu:

Er...how do I turn it into a real menu?

Looks like you forgot <return> statement at the end of your splashscreen.

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    #splashscreen plays
    return

label main_menu:

And that totally solves it. Wow.

Many, many thanks.
