Reversing a list in a vbox

[Cazad0ra]

Hi! I'm trying to make a quest log screen, but I need to reverse the order of the quest list so that the newest one appears at the top of the list instead of the bottom. I tried box_reverse but that of course reversed the vbox buttons, but not the quest list ^^"

Here's my code

Code: Select all

screen questinfo:
    add "images/quest/quest_info_frame.png"

    $start = quest_page * maxperpage
    $end = min(start + maxperpage - 1, len(questlog) - 1)

    modal True



    vbox:
        area (648, 268, 290, 395)
        for i in range(start, end + 1):
            frame:
                $questlogi = questlog[i]
                style "questframe"
                textbutton "[questlogi.name]":
                    style "questframe"
                    text_style "questframe_text"
                    action [SetVariable("selected_quest", questlog[i]), Show("questdetails")]





        for i in range(end - start +1, maxperpage):
            null

for i in range(end, start - 1, -1):

begins at end... steps using minus 1 (the 3rd parameter) and ends at one step before start - 1, aka start

Thanks! It did work for the biggest part, however, the moment the list has more items than "maxperpage", the newest item gets on top, but of the second page.

The other way you could do it would be not to append quests to a list but to insert them at index 0

Code: Select all

 $ list_name.insert(0, "quest_name")

Thanks! I tried it, but it gave me an error I somehow don't get when appending:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Nevermind, I made a typo, this worked like a charm, thanks!!
