Trouble with Screen Language On Show [SOLVED]

[trooper6]

Greetings!

I've created a function that will dump playtest data into a file.

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    
    def generate_feedback_file():
        feedback = open ("feedback.txt", "w+")
        feedback.write(persistent.f1);
        feedback.close()

So that is good. Now in the Main Menu, I've added a text button:

Code: Select all

textbutton _("Generate Playtest Data") action ShowMenu("playtest_info")

Here is the ShowMenu I created:

Code: Select all

screen playtest_info():
    on "show" action Function(generate_feedback_file)[

    tag menu 
    use navigation
    
    vbox:
        spacing 25
        ymaximum 500
        yalign .5
        xalign .5
        
        add "play_title":
            xalign .5
            yalign .5
/code]

The trouble? Doing this doesn't cause the function to run. Why not?

Instead I took out the "on show" line of the screen and changed my button to this:
[code]textbutton _("Generate Playtest Data") action [Function(generate_feedback_file), ShowMenu("playtest_info")]

This works no problem. But shouldn't the on command work?

I can't say for sure, but maybe use on "replace" too, since your screen replaces all the menu screens...
Your code:

Code: Select all

    on "show" action Function(generate_feedback_file)[

Also, what is that [ in the end? It could be the source of problem...
New code:

Code: Select all

    on "show" action Function(generate_feedback_file)
    on "replace" action Function(generate_feedback_file)

on "replace" worked perfectly! Thanks so much!
(the bracket was an artifact of copy/paste)

So...on "show" only works when the screen pops up without replacing...
