[Solved] In-game choice screen position and scrollbar viewport

[scorlight]

Hello all, this has driven me crazy these days, I have no idea how to fix it
I have a menu with lots of choices in my game and I want to add a scrollbar using https://www.renpy.org/dev-doc/html/scre ... l#viewport

Code: Select all

screen choice(items): 
    style_prefix "choice"
    
    viewport:
        area (240, 100, 843, 500)           # scrollable area
        if len(items) > 7:                       #only menus with more than 7 choices have the scrollbar
            scrollbars "vertical"
            mousewheel True
            draggable True
                
        vbox:
            spacing 20
            for i in items:
                textbutton i.caption action i.action

It works, but now ALL in-game menus follow the "240, 100, 843, 500" position, it looks good with long menus but some menus with only a few choices are like that too. How can I move the menus without scrollbar back to the middle of the screen???

Try to check the number of items not inside the viewport but before it, like

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):
    if len(items) > 7:
        style_prefix "choice"
    
        viewport:
            area (240, 100, 843, 500)           # scrollable area
            scrollbars "vertical"
            mousewheel True
            draggable True
                
            vbox:
                spacing 20
                for i in items:
                    textbutton i.caption action i.action
    else:
        window:
            style "menu_window"

            vbox:
                style "menu"

                for i in items:

                    if i.action:

                        button:
                            action i.action
                            style "menu_choice_button"

                            text i.caption style "menu_choice"

                    else:
                        text i.caption style "menu_caption"
