Massages button

[Ace92]

i've entered to my game in progress the "in-games massages system".
and i want to create an on-screen button so the user can enter the massages screen when ever he wants.
i've tried

Code: Select all

init python:

    # Give us some space on the right side of the screen.
    style.window.right_padding = 100

    def toggle_skipping():
        config.skipping = not config.skipping

    show_button_game_menu = True

    def button_game_menu():

        if show_button_game_menu:

            # to save typing
            ccinc = renpy.curried_call_in_new_context

            ui.vbox(xpos=0.99, ypos=0.98, xanchor='right', yanchor='bottom')
            ui.textbutton("Massages", clicked=ccinc("$ show_messages()"xminimum=80)
            ui.close()


    config.overlay_functions.append(button_game_menu)

and i get the eror:
"ScriptError: could not find label ' $ show_messages()'."

what can i do to fix it??

Code: Select all

            ui.textbutton("Massages", clicked=ccinc("$ show_messages()"xminimum=80)

and i get the eror:
"ScriptError: could not find label ' $ show_messages()'."

The problem is that show_messages() is a Python function, and call_in_new_context only jumps to Ren'Py labels. So you need to replace your call with something like:

Code: Select all

            ui.textbutton("Messages", clicked=ccinc("messages"), xminimum=80)

and then create a Ren'Py label with the same name which calls the show_messages() function and then returns:

Code: Select all

label messages:
    $ show_messages()
    return

when i try to add the:

Code: Select all

label messages:
    $ show_messages()
    return

as a code inisde an init or init python, i get the error:

Code: Select all

On line 165 of D:\Downloads\Testing Scripts/game/script.rpy: invalid syntax
label messages:
              ^

or if i try to put just the code without an init/init python i get:

Code: Select all

ScriptError: could not find label ' messages'.

Labels don't belong in an init or python block.
It's the same as your start label.

Code: Select all

label start:

    This is the beginning of your game.

label messages:
    $ show_messages()
    return

or if i try to put just the code without an init/init python i get:

Code: Select all

ScriptError: could not find label ' messages'.

It should be without the init or init python - it looks to me that the error in that case is that you've written " messages" in the ccinc call instead of "messages" - there shouldn't be any spaces between the word 'messages' and the quotes surrounding it, but it looks like you have a space immediately before the first 'm'.


(Arguably this is a bit of a Ren'Py bug, as labels can't have spaces at the beginning or end, so Ren'Py should probably trim them off. But it doesn't, so you need to be careful not to have extraneous spaces when referring to labels.)

ok now it works thanks!
can i put in another script insteed of the Script.rpy?so it won't make a mess out of the script.rpy??
