Changing game_menu (Right Click Action) [Solved]

[Georgel]

Hello!

How do we change how game_menu screen looks like?

I am talking about where the game goes when you click right click or ESC key?

I have been playing around with this for a while and cannot bing right click to take me to a game_menu_r screen, as it goes error, and anything that I try to do to game_menu (inside screens.rpy) has no effect. They still take me to save when I right click.

I know that I created or changed something right in game_menu, because if I assign it to another button it works, and I can see the screen I created. I am a bit puzzled. If anyone can, it would be great to have a bit of help!

EDIT::: If this sounds a bit more relevant, how do we change game_menu_screen. I mean, how exactly do I start changing it? Everything I write turns out to save game.

Code: Select all

screen game_menu_screen():

    add im.Scale(Image("images/assets/RightClick/rc_1.png"), 1366, 768)
    add "images/assets/RightClick/rc_bg.png" xpos (1366/2) - (976/2) ypos ((768/2) - (453/2) - 120)

for example, this will still return to save menu screen

Go over the screens.rpy file and you'll figure it out.

You mean there is another place in this forum?

I am in screens.rpy

I just do not know where to look, or what to reassign.

I was able to make mouseup_3 do nothing

Code: Select all

init:
    $ config.keymap['game_menu'].remove('mouseup_3')

But I am unable to re-assign it, it turns error.

Code: Select all

$ config.keymap['game_menu_r'].append('mouseup_3')

Ah, I've misread your post, you prolly want to show a screen overriding the "game_menu" binding, look for key statement in screens documentation. Show a dummy screen with a shiny new binding after label start and it should overrule the default key binding as the are.

I don't quite understand what you mean.

There's a Ren'Py internal variable named _game_menu_screen. By default it shows the save screen (I believe). If you want it to show, say, the preferences screen, just put this line at the very start of your script.rpy:

Code: Select all

default _game_menu_screen = "preferences"

Of course you can create a new menu screen and show it by right-clicking using the same method. If you run RAPT it will complain that you are overwriting an internal variable, but you know that you're doing it, and why .

Thanks a lot!

I was able to do what I wanted by overriding the default value. I did not know I needed an underscore before game_menu_screen to replace the default.
