issue using an imagebuton to change a variable

[Luckstar]

Howdy,
I'm trying to use a clickable button to change a variable from true to false

Code: Select all

$ show_stat_box=False

screen stat_button():
    imagebutton auto "ui/stat_button_%s.png" xpos 0.01 ypos 0.01 focus_mask True action SetVariable(show_stat_box=True)

This seems to actually crash ren'py and cause an error report

I've tried multiple functions like ToggleVariable, set, even had a go just trying $ show_stat_box=True

It's been a few hours, at this stage any clickable that changes a variable would be a fine solution

Here is the correct syntax:

Code: Select all

screen stat_button():
    imagebutton auto "ui/stat_button_%s.png" action SetVariable('show_stat_box',True) xpos 0.01 ypos 0.01 focus_mask True 

If you are trying to show and hide a screen however, may I suggest:

Code: Select all

screen stat_button():
    imagebutton auto "ui/stat_button_%s.png" action Show('stat_box') xpos 0.01 ypos 0.01 focus_mask True 

(Where "stat_box" is the name of the screen?)
