help with skip cutscene feature

[Anastimafilia]

Hello fellas! I need help making a skip function for this video, maybe when the player clicks on the video a pop up windows shows up asking them if they want to skip it? or maybe there's a 'skip cutscene' text button in the top right corner of the screen? whatever is easier IMO
I'm posting the code with the call screen text empty for the sake of this board's decency

Code: Select all

image movie3 = Movie(play="images/petrawg.webm") 

screen mytextscreen(what, t):
    modal True
    text what xalign 0.5 yalign 0.9 style "textstyle"
    timer t action Return()

style textstyle:
    outlines [(4, "#000000")] ## Make sure to have the [] or else you get an error.

label movie3:

    show movie3:
        pos (0, 0)
        size (2560, 1440)

    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)

    hide movie3

So, I'm just using your code assuming you want to show those text elements while the movie plays.

Code: Select all

image movie3 = Movie(play="images/petrawg.webm") 

screen mytextscreen(what, t):
    modal True
    # when the player clicks anywhere, just ask them if they want to skip
    dismiss action Confirm("Do you really wanna skip?", Jump("movie3.end"))
    text what xalign 0.5 yalign 0.9 style "textstyle"
    timer t action Return()

style textstyle:
    outlines [(4, "#000000")] ## Make sure to have the [] or else you get an error.

label movie3:

    show movie3:
        pos (0, 0)
        size (2560, 1440)

    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)
    call screen mytextscreen("", 3.0)

    label .end:

    hide movie3
    
    return

P.S. You better not use the same name for both the movie and the label, this might confuse you and also is bad practice, since it can lead to strange behavior in certain circumstances.

thanks a lot for the help, the skip function does works but for some reason it got applied to all other movies which is fine but the game ends whenever any of the movies is skipped

update: I made it work by giving each screen a different name, it now works flawlessly, thanks a lot for the help, a mod can close this thread now
