Disable menu and rollback in a screen

#1 Post by _ticlock_ » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:46 pm

Hello All,

Is it some proper way to disable menu and rollback action in a screen. I can add NullAction() for the appropriate keys, but is there a better way to do it?

Code: Select all

screen some_screen():
    ...
    key "game_menu" action NullAction()
    key "rollback" action NullAction()
    key "rollforward" action NullAction()

Just realized it is better to use use statement:

Code: Select all

screen disable_menu_rollback():
    key "game_menu" action NullAction()
    key "rollback" action NullAction()
    key "rollforward" action NullAction()

screen some_screen():
    ...
    use disable_menu_rollback()
Anyway, is it a better way?

Instead of showing the screen, you could call it.
