Issues with custom history screen including rollback

[SuperbowserX]

I have a custom history screen that is showed by a button that is always on the screen.

Code: Select all

...
imagebutton auto "ui/%s_dialogue.png" action Call("show_history")

label show_history:
    $ config.rollback_enabled = False
    $ quick_menu = False
    window hide
    with Dissolve(0.125)

    call screen history with Dissolve(0.125)

    $ quick_menu = True
    window show 
    with Dissolve(0.125)
    $ config.rollback_enabled = True
    return

screen history():
    tag menu
    predict False
    modal True
    
    vbox:
        *code for generating frame with history here...*
    
        button:
            action Return()
            background "#FFF"
            text "{color=#000}Click here to return to the game."
            xsize 1100

I am intentionally blocking rollback while in the history window, because if the user mousescrolls while the cursor is outside of the window, it will cause rollback to trigger and in turn the history window to exit. So that's working. But, I am having two issues with this.

1) Instructions to show the screen (calls to the show history screen) are being logged into the rollback feature. So if I rollback after opening and then closing history, I am going to get stuck in the history window and unable to roll back further behind that call. Is there anyway I can prevent calls to the show_history label from being factored into the rollback? Basically make rollback only register dialogue statements (none of which are inside the history label)?

2) For some reason, after I exit the history window, the text automatically progresses from the line it was on before I opened it to the one afterwards. I tested setting the imagebutton action to NullAction() and it wasn't happening there. Any ideas what's causing this?

Thanks!

Why not make your history screen modal?

It was

Anyway, I managed to work out a solution. In my imagebutton, rather than make an action to call a label, I simply made a sequence of actions that first disabled rollback, then hid the quick menu, then show the history screen. Then, the history screen's return action was also a sequence of actions that did the exact opposite instructions of the imagebutton (re-enable those variables).

It's solved both problems. I'm no longer getting stuck in history on the rollback.
