Show Screen in Python Function (solved)

#1 Post by noeinan »

Okay, so I've got an overmap code and I'm trying to add a function that will change the map. To do this outside of a function I would type:

Code: Select all

show screen map_screen(pc_farm)
I've found these threads while I was researching how to do this:

viewtopic.php?t=41793
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_p ... how_screen

And based on those threads I've been trying this:

Code: Select all

    def change_map(denizen):
        #Transports player to new map
        renpy.show_screen(map_screen, pc_farm)
But it tells me that "'map_screen' is not defined", even though it has no problem displaying map_screen in the script. If someone could point me towards what I'm doing wrong I'd super appreciate it!

(I have also tried renpy.show_screen("map_screen(pc_farm)") and renpy.show_screen(map_screen(pc_farm)) but neither of those work either. Also, the forum says you use a screen's "tag" instead of it's name, but like... I have no idea how I'd pass the map name with tags, since it's the same screen just with different maps loaded in.)

After a bit more experimentation, I figured it out. The correct syntax is

Code: Select all

    def change_map(denizen):
        #Transports player to new map
        renpy.show_screen("map_screen", tMap=pc_farm)

For Web development you don't want python, you want JavaScript.
Also of use is CSS, HTML and php.

But your post has nothing to do with this thread. I'm inclined to believe you don't want what you are asking.
