Oh perfect, thank you! That page is just what I needed... for some reason I'd been under the impression that ShowMenu opened the main menu, not any screen. Everything works now, I appreciate the help

I'm pretty sure this is an obvious matter of syntax confusion, but I'm having trouble getting a button to open custom menus for the player (character sheets, inventory, and so forth). First, I made a button that I always want the player to have available to them, and displayed it at start: label sta...

Alrighty, that works! Thank you

In order to keep track of each character's affinity for each other character, I'm using a dict affinityDict{CharacterClass : int}. I know it's configured correctly, because I can use the Tkey to retrieve and set values successfully, but I'm having trouble concatenating it into text. This code works....

Outstanding, thank you so much for your incredibly detailed responses- I'm learning a lot about python this morning.

Okay wow holy cow, I had no clue about the class versus instance variable distinction, that could've sneaked up on me and delivered an unpleasant surprise... are mutable types instanced if they're declared in the __init__ block? Like, if I wanted to guaranteed that everyone had their own, personal v...

I'll definitely take the class when I get some time, I know for a fact that 90% of what I'm doing is unpythonic as all get-out. I read a bit about how ren'py interacts with __init__, but I still don't entirely understand it: I know if I borrow your example, def __init__(self, name="No Name"...

Oh hey, that's perfect, I didn't know that about python... thank you! In case anyone else trips over this looking at the same problem, I also had to add self to any variables I wanted ChangeApproval to modify within the class's scope, so def ChangeApproval(reactionAmount): approval += reactionAmount...

I'm trying to set up setters for my character data class, so I never have to change data from outside the class itself. As an example: class CharacterClass: name = "No name"; approval = 0; def ChangeApproval(reactionAmount): approval += reactionAmount; return This looks right to me, but tr...

Yea, the variation is going to lead to a completely different series of labels in many cases: "Let's go bar hopping" versus "Let's go egg that guy's house". I appreciate the feedback though- I know some level of complexity is necessary, but I wanted to be absolutely sure that ren...

The way I'm writing my game the rough bones of the story don't change between playthroughs, but depending on how you treat people, you get side scenes with different supporting characters who fill you in regarding different things, stuff like if you're really nice to Person A, during his character s...

Oh hey, that works- thank you

Is it at all possible to make a complicated struct in Ren'py, so I could do something like this?
