[PyGame] Can't get button class to work

[mzmingle]

Hi - me again, haha!

I found a button class I understand - this one - but now I've encountered a problem. When a button is clicked, I want it to run a function that opens a new screen. However, the new function only runs whilst I'm keeping hold of the mouse. I could fix it by making the button set something to true which would then run the function, however now that I am using a function, it won't work and none of us here can figure out why. Any help?

This is where I've first tried to use the classes. I put the 'if clicked == False' to get the original screen to stop showing when a function is run - in each function, it sets clicked to True at the beginning - but now it still doesn't work. Any help?

# MAIN GAME LOOP

while done == False:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            done = True

    if clicked == False:

        print("opened")
        print(clicked)

        screen.fill(WHITE)

        # initialising all buttons
        teacherLogin = Button((100, 250, 400, 100), teacherChoice, text = 'Teacher')
        studentLogin = Button((100, 100, 400, 100), letterButton, text = 'Student', colour = BLUE)

        teacherLogin.getEvent()
        teacherLogin.draw(screen)

        studentLogin.getEvent()
        studentLogin.draw(screen)
        print("drew buttons")

        screen.blit(loginMessage, [100, 10])
        print("showed title")

        pygame.display.update()

    elif clicked == True:
        print("clicky")
        print(teacherLogin.function)

pygame.quit()
    

It doesn't run the 'clicky' bit which should run after clicked becomes true either.

If you need more of the code to be able to help, is there any chance I could send you it via PM? I don't particularly want to post my entire project code so far online but I know this might not be enough for you to be able to help. Thanks!
