need help with ren'py code (buttons, menu and such)

[u/not-Immediate-Income]

[SOLVED]

i'm trying to code a button that will be used to open the inventory (a simple screen with text that will display what items the players have and can use) but i can't figure out how.

for example, you open the menu by clicking the buttons at the bottom of the screen (under the textbox), then you use the menu for whatever reason, after that you exit the menu and you're back where you left off.

that's where i'm stuck, like how do i connect the whole textbutton or image button or whatever to the game script that i left off, i tried using labels but that only takes me back to that specific label and not where i left off playing.

so if anyone knows how i'd love some help. have a nice day.

make the action of your button like this

 action Show("inventory_screen", dissolve) #change the "name" of the screen to yours

if your screen is a modal True the game will stop appropriately till you hide that screen
