Hello everyone!
I’ve been working on a business simulator game, menu based, and i’ve come across an unusual problem:
I have a main node (called “Game”), that instantiates diferent screens acoording to a function called from each of its children. The problem happens when i press the TouchScreen button from inside one of the children, I’ve noticed it calls the function several times, and i end up with multiple screens instantiated on top of each other.
Here goes a sample of my code:
Game:
extends Node
export(PackedScene) var scr_title
export(PackedScene) var scr_main
export(PackedScene) var scr_patrimony
export(PackedScene) var scr_store
var screens = [scr_title, scr_main, scr_patrimony, scr_store]
enum GAME_STATE{
title,
main,
patrimony,
store
}
func _ready():
show_all_assets()
if scr_title != null:
#Goes to the first screen of the game!
var newest_screen = scr_title.instance()
add_child(newest_screen)
pass
pass
func _process(delta):
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_left"):
print("Child Number:")
print(get_child_count())
pass
func _change_screen_to(_destination):
#Function called by all its children. Should change the current screen of the game the destination
if _destination == GAME_STATE.title: #Change to Title Screen
print("Change to TITLE")
pass
elif _destination == GAME_STATE.main: #Change to Main Screen
print("Change to MAIN")
#Ok! Here is where the magic should begin.
var newest_screen = scr_main.instance()
add_child(newest_screen)
last_screen = GAME_STATE.main
pass
elif _destination == GAME_STATE.patrimony: #Change to Patrimony Screen
print("Change to PATRIMONY")
var newest_screen = scr_patrimony.instance()
add_child(newest_screen)
last_screen = GAME_STATE.patrimony
pass
elif _destination == GAME_STATE.store: #Change to store Screen
print("Change to STORE")
var newest_screen = scr_store.instance()
add_child(newest_screen)
last_screen = GAME_STATE.store
pass
else:
print("Ok something went wrong here....")
pass
And from one of the screens:
MainScreen
extends Node2D
func _ready():
pass
func _process(delta):
pass
func _enter_tree():
pass
func _on_StoreButton_pressed():
pass # replace with function body
func _on_InventoryButton_pressed():
pass # replace with function body
func _on_ExitButton_pressed():
pass # replace with function body
func _on_StoreButton_released():
get_parent()._change_screen_to(get_parent().GAME_STATE.store)
queue_free()
pass # replace with function body
func _on_InventoryButton_released():
get_parent()._change_screen_to(get_parent().GAME_STATE.patrimony)
queue_free()
pass # replace with function body
func _on_ExitButton_released():
get_tree().quit()
pass # replace with function body
Even with the queue_free() function present, i still end up with 10 instances of diferent screens, one on top of the other. As you can see, i’ve tried using on_button_released signal, but still, the same problem appears.
Any solutions to elegantly solve the issue?
Thanks in advance!
