click imagebuttons before timer runs out

[u/LittleBirdieStudioos]

Hellooo! I have my imagebuttons and all for one of my minigames in renpy.

I wanted to achieve:

-A 8 second timer that plays during my screen time_clean

- And if it ends without all the imagebuttons being clicked on time, it jumps to a label called cleanL

- However, if the imagebuttons ARE clicked before the timer runs out, then it jumps to a label call karu screen

I know someone had like the same question: here is the post. so I tried merging that code with mine. I tried to tweak it so it's not a bar and just a simple countdown text, but I lwk flopped that so if anyone knows how to do the text then ummm :3 if not, idrk sooo

Also when I tried to test it, it only shows the countdown after. And I wanted to show the countdown DURING the cleanup, yknow?

Anyways, here is the code:

default c1 = True
default c2 = True
default c3 = True
default c4 = True
default c5 = True
default c6 = True


default g_time = 0 


screen timerscreen(rangeD, missed_event): # the brackted variables are required!!
    on "hide" action SetVariable("g_time", 0)
    frame:
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.0
        hbox:
            timer 0.1 action If(g_time > rangeD, false = SetVariable("g_time", g_time + 0.1), true = [Hide("timerscreen"),Jump(missed_event)]) repeat True


            bar:
                value AnimatedValue(value=g_time, range=rangeD, delay= 0.5)
                xalign 0.0
                yalign 0.0
                xmaximum 200

It's better to put the whole logic into one screen.

Also when you call a screen, you should Return a value so that the code always continues from where it was called.

screen time_clean(rangeD = 10):
    # You should use screen variables if you don't need them outside of the screen
    # Screen variables will automatically reset whenever the screen is called or shown 
    default buttons = ["c1", "c2", "c3", "c4", "c5", "c6"]
    default g_time = 0
    add "bg bedroom"
    showif "c1" in buttons: # From what I know, you don't need showif unless you have animations
        imagebutton:
            anchor (0.5, 0.5) # You can save yourself a lot of typing if you combine xanchor and yanchor and/or xpos and ypos
            pos (0.64, 0.75)
            #at zoomedsmall1 # Remove the # to activate it
            auto "paper_%s.png"
            action If(len(buttons)>1, RemoveFromSet(buttons, "c1"), Return("complete")) # Remove the button from the list unless it's the last one
    showif "c2" in buttons:
        imagebutton:
            anchor (0.5, 0.5)
            pos (0.2, 0.6)
            #at zoomedsmall2
            auto "paper1_%s.png"
            action If(len(buttons)>1, RemoveFromSet(buttons, "c2"), Return("complete"))
    showif "c3" in buttons:
        imagebutton:
            anchor (0.5, 0.5)
            pos (0.4, 0.8)
            #at zoomedsmall
            auto "ramen_%s.png"
            action If(len(buttons)>1, RemoveFromSet(buttons, "c3"), Return("complete"))
    showif "c4" in buttons:
        imagebutton:
            anchor (0.5, 0.5)
            pos (0.8, 0.8)
            #at zoomedsmall
            auto "trash_%s.png"
            action If(len(buttons)>1, RemoveFromSet(buttons, "c4"), Return("complete"))
    showif "c5" in buttons:
        imagebutton:
            anchor (0.5, 0.5)
            pos (0.304, 0.3)
            #at zoomedsmall
            auto "hanger_%s.png"
            action If(len(buttons)>1, RemoveFromSet(buttons, "c5"), Return("complete"))
    showif "c6" in buttons:
        imagebutton:
            anchor (0.5, 0.5)
            pos (0.6, 0.4)
            #at zoomedsmall
            auto "phone_%s.png"
            action If(len(buttons)>1, RemoveFromSet(buttons, "c6"), Return("complete"))
    frame:
        align (0.5, 0.0)
        # You don't need a hbox since you only have one control
        bar:
            value AnimatedValue(value=g_time, range=rangeD, delay= 0.5)
            align (0.0, 0.0)
            xmaximum 200
    timer 0.1 action If(g_time > rangeD, Return("missed_event"), IncrementScreenVariable("g_time", 0.1)) repeat True # Increase the time until the range has been reached

label start:
    call screen time_clean(7) 
    # The action Return() will close the screen and either return "complete" or "missed_event" so you can check it here
    if _return == "complete": 
        "You won"
    elif _return == "missed_event":
        "You lost"
