Hello I recently began programming using the Ren'Py engine and was wondering if all scripts share scope with each other. For example if I defined charsprites/image.png in one script would it be visible in a separate script file in the same game? The reason I'm asking this is I have a large amount of images that are going to be defined and would like to make a separate script file to avoid cluttering the main script.

In addition to this, I'm assuming its possible to call between scripts during gameplay? For example if I wanted to split each act of the vn into seperate script files to avoid having one huge script to scroll through in order to make edits.

Every script you put in the game folder works in tandem, as long as you put the relevant label in the other script file and jump to it, it should work the same as if they were both in a single file.

Thanks, also is there a way to edit the 'say' function to not display the character name at the top of the dialogue box, and instead use the color for that defined character for all the text in the box?

You could set it while character declaration

I was thinking, no idea why, call was needed instead of jump if you worked on numerouse files in a game script. I will correct that mistak and use jump instead.

Thanks
