[SOLVED] Can I open one specific screen multiple at the same time?

[wtfman]

For example, I made a screen named 'sigle_window' and made a button to open the screen 'single_window'

I want to open the same 'single_window' screen multiple when pressing a button, like a regular GUI OS(see the attachment image if you don't understand. Sorry)

Is It possible to make?


PS: And can I change the screen's zorder when clicking or activating the screen? Also like windows or regular GUI OS

This action takes the _layer, _zorder and _tag keyword arguments, which have the same meaning as in the renpy.show_screen() function.

Different _tag on each Show allows you to show multiple instances of the screen.

1) Yes. renpy.show_screen( 'single_window', tag="some_other_name"). The only requirements are that tags should be unique and you need to keep track of tags used.

2) Yes. Probably works best if you simply reshow window with diffrent zorder.

But when reloading the screen, coordination is reset and always appears in the left top corner of the screen(screen is draggable). Can find or extract the current screen's coordinates?

If they are implemented as Drag Displayables, then coordinates are avaliable as x andy members of corresponding Drag pbject.

Another way to show screen multiple times is to use it multiple times in parent screen. Don't know, if it would be applicable to your project.

Am I need to use python callback to get screen coordinates?

Depending on how you will structure your screens, maybe yes, maybe screen actions will suffice, maybe a straightforwayd function call before reshowing window.

All is solved. I apply tag to open same window multiple and added drag_name in drag to remember screen's location. Like this:

Code: Select all

screen text_window(texttitle, innertext, tagname):
    drag:
        drag_handle (0, 0, 1.0, 50)
        drag_name tagname
        draggable True
        
    frame:
        textbutton "[texttitle]" xalign 0.5 action Hide(tagname), Show("text_window", texttitle="blah", innertext="blahblahblah", tagname = "mumble", _tag = "mumble")
...

screen openbutton:
    textbutton "open" action Show("text_window", texttitle="blah", innertext="blahblahblah", tagname = "mumble", _tag = "mumble")

Thank you!
