Simple request? Score stats OFF initially

[dearmad]

been messing with python and I can't get the initial score list when you start a game to be OFF! I don't like to have that informaiton as I play and would like to have that toggled OFF initially.

ANyone know how to do this? I've messed with a lot of the various python scripts but short of turning off the score calc to always score people at 0 I can't get it to go away.

DON'T REPLY with guesses! If you don't KNOW don't reply- I've tried more things than anyone taking a guess would think, so no false goose chases please.

Thanks

These commands will toggle off the score during an event firing.

if (CyInterface().isScoresVisible()):
CyInterface().toggleScoresVisible()

You should be able to nail that up in the onGameStart event.

I don't know what you are doing for your event files, but a sample onGameStart procedure might look like so:

def onGameStart(self, argsList):
'Called at the start of the game'
if (gc.getGame().getGameTurnYear() == gc.getDefineINT("START_YEAR")):
for iPlayer in range(gc.getMAX_PLAYERS()):
player = gc.getPlayer(iPlayer)
if (player.isAlive() and player.isHuman()):
popupInfo = CyPopupInfo()
popupInfo.setButtonPopupType(ButtonPopupTypes.BUTT ONPOPUP_PYTHON_SCREEN)
popupInfo.setText(u"showDawnOfMan")
popupInfo.addPopup(iPlayer)

##Commands to hide the scores at the start below.
if (CyInterface().isScoresVisible()):
CyInterface().toggleScoresVisible()

I'm losing my tabs on this website, don't forget to reindent the code.

Thanks! Hadn't thought of this approach! Looking too hard for the simple: display = false sort of thing.
