Scrollbar In-Game Menu Coding?

[Silence in Space]

Code: Select all

label terminal_entries:
    
    menu:
        "Entry_001"
        "Entry_002"
        "Entry_003"
        "Entry_004"
        "Entry_005"
        "Entry_006"
        "Entry_007"
        "Entry_008"
        "Entry_009"
        "Entry_010"
        "Entry_011"
        "Entry_012"
        "Entry_013"

How could would you make an scroll-bar feature for an in-game menu such as a long one like this?

I'm not having any success with replicating any of the viewport and scrollbar examples.

Add viewport on the choice screen in screens.rpy.

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):
    style_prefix "choice"

    viewport:
        scrollbars "vertical"
        mousewheel True
        draggable True

        side_yfill True

        vbox:
            for i in items:
                textbutton i.caption action i.action

Add viewport on the choice screen in screens.rpy.

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):
    style_prefix "choice"

    viewport:
        scrollbars "vertical"
        mousewheel True
        draggable True

        side_yfill True

        vbox:
            for i in items:
                textbutton i.caption action i.action

The scrollbar appears now in game; however, this is what happens.

Might wanna change the child size, something like:

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):
    style_prefix "choice"
    side "c b r":
         area (100, 100, 600, 400)
             viewport:
                 scrollbars "vertical"
                 mousewheel True
                 draggable True

                 side_yfill True

                 vbox:
                     for i in items:
                         textbutton i.caption action i.action

(Note: not tested).

Might wanna change the child size, something like:

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):
    style_prefix "choice"
    side "c b r":
         area (100, 100, 600, 400)
             viewport:
                 scrollbars "vertical"
                 mousewheel True
                 draggable True

                 side_yfill True

                 vbox:
                     for i in items:
                         textbutton i.caption action i.action

(Note: not tested).

Regardless of where it is put in the coding, it will always show a blank screen for the first menu (i.e. in script.rpy) making impossible to test any of the other menus.

It does not result in an error, unless placed after menu. script.rpy and terminal_entries.rpy function correctly without this.

[nyaatrap]

Wrap viewport by fixed or frame, giving its xysize. You only need to modify screens.rpy.

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):
    style_prefix "choice"

    fixed pos (x,y) xysize (x,y): #or frame, window
        viewport:
            scrollbars "vertical"
            mousewheel True
            draggable True

            side_yfill True

            vbox:
                for i in items:
                    textbutton i.caption action i.action

[scorlight]

I know it's late but in case someone still need it, this is the code I use

Code: Select all

screen choice(items): 
    window:
        style_prefix "choice"
        area (240, 112, 843, 400)
        viewport:
            if len(items) >= 6:
                scrollbars "vertical"
                mousewheel True
                draggable True
                
            vbox:
                spacing 20
                for i in items:
                    textbutton i.caption action i.action

I got it from this post: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=41504

[Triority]

The problem with that is the options wont appear inside the defined area. Have to get rid of the window command for it to work correctly
