Just a suggestion: it would be better if you first tell us why do you need to do it, then someone would be able to give you the best answer.

The codes below will do the following when $ allow_save = False:

1. Make the save button inactive in the game menu
2. Disable the save and quick save buttons in the quick menu
3. Show the load screen when the user enters the game menu
4. Set allow_save = True when toggle_save is called

script.rpy:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ allow_save = True

label toggle_save:
    if allow_save:
        $ _game_menu_screen = "load"
        $ allow_save = False
    else:
        $ _game_menu_screen = "save"
        $ allow_save = True
    return

label start:
    "The save screen will be disabled."
    call toggle_save # Disable save
    "The save screen is disabled."

    "The save screen will be re-enabled."
    call toggle_save # Re-enable save
    "The save screen is reenabled."

    return

screens.rpy:

Code: Select all

# Navigation (sixth screen)
screen navigation:
    [...]

        if allow_save:
            textbutton _("Save Game") action ShowMenu("save")
        else:
            textbutton _("Save Game") action None
        [...]

# Quick Menu (last screen)
screen quick_menu:
    [...]

        if allow_save:
            textbutton _("Q.Save") action QuickSave()
        else:
            textbutton _("Q.Save") action None
        textbutton _("Q.Load") action QuickLoad()
        if allow_save:
            textbutton _("Save") action ShowMenu('save')
        else:
            textbutton _("Save") action None
        [...]

I need it for if game goes to a choise,ban the save funtion to prevent player use save to try choice again.That would make choice useless.

That's a terrible reason to temporarily disable saves. All you accomplish is making players compulsively save all the time in case they run into a choice.

I mean, there are games which don't have conventional saves at all (a recent example is FTL), but that isn't really appropriate for a visual novel.

If you want to do something like that, why not try $ renpy.block_rollback() after someone makes a choice.
Then they can only load up from the last point to do the choice again without rolling back.

Code: Select all

menu:
 "Let him be":
    $ renpy.block_rollback()
    "Blahblah"
 "Ask if you could walk with him.":
    $ renpy.block_rollback()
    "Blahblah"

Just a suggestion...

This is the best for that purpose. Don't disable save entirely.

Couldn't agree more! That's what I'm using since I saw this thread: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... =8&t=19863
