About screens
A screen () is a special kind of page. Regular pages are grouped in chapters and are played in sequence.
A screen on the other hand is a stand-alone pages meant to be played on top of other pages. This make them ideal for things like popup dialogs.
The following list explain how screens differ from regular pages:
Screen behavior and restrictions
-
Action list
Screens have action lists, but unlike pages they will not continue playing at the end of one. Screens also put limitations on which actions can be performed. For instance you can't use a Go to page-action in a screen.
-
Threads
Screens have no threads.
-
Access
Screens can only be opened and closed using buttons (i.e. by user input).
-
The screen stack
Screens can be shown ontop of other pages and even other screens. When more than one screen is opened they get stacked. Closing a screen will only remove the screen at the top of the stack and the focus will be brought on whatever is underneath. When all screens have been closed then the current page will resume playing.
-
Saving from a screen
The screen stack is not stored in game saves. If the player saves the game while a screen is open, that screen will not reopen when the game is loaded.
