"Call" function not defined

#1 Post by Cristiander »

I made a button that is meant to call a label and I get the error that my call function is not defined.

The code for the button is:

Code: Select all

screen Info_button:
    imagebutton:
        idle  im.Scale("gui/rpg/info_action.png", 50, 50)
        hover im.Scale("gui/rpg/info_idle.png", 50, 50)
        action Call("Label_info")
But I get the error:

Code: Select all


NameError: name 'Call' is not defined

I really don't understand how that can happen. I put Jump instead of call and it worked. Am I overlooking something?

Certainly looks like a proper script part here. Is the traceback definitely referencing that particular Call? Could you provide the full trace?

Are you sure that your RenPy version is Ren'Py 6.99.14?

I am running Renpy 6.99.13.2919. I checked for updates and this is the version I got.

Now the error says "Name error: global name "From_current" is not defined

Full path is this:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script - maleficent.rpy", line 488, in script
    nvl_n "Wow! What the hell is this?!"

IIRC, you need to rebuild your game after upgrading, there were changes in RenPy internals, so old bytecode will not work.

Yeah most likely. But for now I need to focus on the screen I'm trying to make.

Is there a tutorial on how to make a button? I really don't understand how the action parameter is supposed to work.
I'm trying to give it the call and it's not working. I try to give it the show and it's not working. I really don't get it.

This seems to be a bug, as other people have had similar problems, as seen here, and in the linked thread.
