Displaying screen over dialogue box, help? (SOLVED)

[exaltedexoskeleton]

I want one of my screens (a stat screen that will be there the whole game) to display over the dialogue box. I've tried using zorder and I've tried to figure out how to use overlay, but nothing's worked. I'm sure I'm missing something really simple, but I'm totally stumped.

Help?

zorder should be all you need. Post code.

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

screen cc_stuff:
    use quick_menu
    modal True
    zorder 1
    imagebutton:
        pos (160,920)
        idle "mirror_button.png"
        hover "mirror_button.png"
        action Show("mirror")#empty
    imagebutton:
        pos (310,920)
        idle "cafrec_button.png"
        hover "cafrec_button.png"
        action Show("cr_pg1")
    imagebutton:
        pos (460,920)
        idle "diary_button.png"
        hover "diary_button.png"
        action Show("diary_pg1")
    imagebutton:
        pos (610,920)
        idle "watch_button.png"
        hover "watch_button.png"
        action Show("watch")

And to set the say screen lower:

Code: Select all

screen say:
    zorder 0

Other than that the say screen is Ren'Py default. I did put the code below in the options file though, if this changes anything:

Code: Select all

    style.window.background = Frame("text_frame.png", 10, 10)

    style.window.left_margin = 60
    style.window.right_margin = 60
    #style.window.top_margin = 6
    style.window.bottom_margin = 100

    style.window.yminimum = 300

I've also tried setting my screen's zorder to 100 and switching the zorder for my screen and the say screen just for fun. Nothing works, the dialogue box is still showing over the menu buttons.

Just for testing purposes, try removing 'use quick_menu'.

EDIT: Hmm, actually, there's no reason that would fix anything. On the other hand, there's no reason for this problem to be happening at all, so maybe a solution that shouldn't work is the perfect way to solve a problem that shouldn't happen =P

EDIT 2: I can't reproduce. I pasted your code in, created some images and changed nothing else:

Code: Select all

screen cc_stuff:
    use quick_menu
    modal True
    zorder 1
    imagebutton:
        pos (160,920)
        idle "mirror_button.png"
        hover "mirror_button.png"
        action Show("mirror")#empty
    imagebutton:
        pos (310,920)
        idle "cafrec_button.png"
        hover "cafrec_button.png"
        action Show("cr_pg1")
    imagebutton:
        pos (460,920)
        idle "diary_button.png"
        hover "diary_button.png"
        action Show("diary_pg1")
    imagebutton:
        pos (610,920)
        idle "watch_button.png"
        hover "watch_button.png"
        action Show("watch")

# The game starts here.
label start:
    show screen cc_stuff

    "You've created a new Ren'Py game."
    "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"

    return

The buttons appear over the dialogue box.
How are you showing the screen?

Well, that's the issue. I was changing the zorder for the stat screen and not the screen I was calling that *used* that stat screen.
Thank you so much for your patience and sorry for the trouble.
