Hide ( screen=None, transition=None, _layer=None ) link Call ( label, *args, **kwargs ) linkĮnds the current statement, and calls label, given as a string.Īrguments and keyword arguments are passed to renpy.call(). screen Either a string giving the name of the screen to be hidden, or This causes a screen to be hidden if it is shown. Transition If not None, a transition that occurs when hiding the screen. _layer This is passed as the layer argument to renpy.hide_screen().

This is often used with menus and imagemaps, to Return ( value=None ) linkĬauses the current interaction to return the supplied value, which This can be used to make a button responsive to hover/unhover events, Jump ( label ) linkĬauses control to transfer to label, given as a string. Was called using the call screen statement, the return value Select what the return value of the interaction is. None in this case.) Show ( screen, transition=None, *args, **kwargs ) link When in a menu, this returns from the menu.

If not None, transition is use to show and hide the screen. AddToSet ( set, value ) linkĪdds value to set. This may be a Python set or list, in whichĬase the value is appended to the list. This also works with lists, where key is the index at which SetDict ( dict, key, value ) linkĬauses the value of key in dict to be set to value. SetField ( object, field, value ) linkĬauses the a field on an object to be set to a given value. SetLocalVariable ( name, value ) linkĬauses the variable called name to be set to value in the current Object is the object, field is a string giving the name of theįield to set, and value is the value to set it to. SetScreenVariable() should be preferred, as it allows more This function is only useful in a screen that has been used byĪnother screen, as it provides a way of setting the value of a

In a used screen, this action sets the variable in the context SetScreenVariable ( name, value ) linkĬauses the variable called name associated with the current screen This must be created in the context that the variable is set Of the screen containing the used one(s). To set variables within a used screen, and only in thatĬase, use SetLocalVariable() instead. ToggleDict ( dict, key, true_value=None, false_value=None ) link One with dots separating the variable from fields, like 'hero.strength' The name argument must be a string, and can be a simple name like 'strength', or SetVariable ( name, value ) linkĬauses the variable called name to be set to value. Lists, in which case key is the index of the value to toggle. ToggleField ( object, field, true_value=None, false_value=None ) link Toggling means to invert the value when the action is performed. Value of that field when the action is performed. true_value If not None, then this is the true value we use. ToggleLocalVariable ( name, true_value=None, false_value=None ) link false_value If not None, then this is the false value we use. ToggleScreenVariable() should be preferred, as it allows more Toggles the value of the variable called name in the current local context. In - it can't be passed in from somewhere else. true_value If not None, then this is the true value used. ToggleScreenVariable ( name, true_value=None, false_value=None ) link false_value If not None, then this is the false value used. Toggles the value of the variable called name in the current screen.
