Forum rules


Ask questions about one topic per thread, and use a descriptive subject. "NotImplemented error in script.rpy" is a good subject, "Tom's problems" is not. Remember to include all of traceback.txt or error.txt when reporting a problem, as well as the relevant lines of script. Use the [code] tag to format scripts.

I feel stupid for asking this because it feels like everyone will know;
But how do you have multiple-scripts?
As in like; You know how the tutorial Ren'py comes with, when opened in the Editor, has multiple-scripts up there?
Yeah, how do you switch between scripts,
I'm very confused.
I'm a new person, I know. ;~;
Help?

Well, if I'm understanding your correctly, you want to click the tab in J-edit with the script that you want to edit (just think like with a web browser's tabs). If you're asking about making more scripts to work on, just create a new one (and make sure to label it ".rpy" or it'll just be a random file). The Ren'Py launcher should open any .rpy files in the "game" folder of your game.

I mean, hrmm... How can I put this... Let's say you're making a dating sim and you have five girls to choose from based around choices,
Each girl has their own tab in jEdit,
But the prologue has it's own tab as well,
How do you get the prologue tab to load up another tab?
I've seen it done before;
I'm not making sense, my apologies. ;~;

Ah, Ren'Py reads the scripts at the same time. You can use "label" and "call" or "jump" just like you could on the same script.

Example:

This is your main script:
Code:
label start:
    "random text"
    jump girlonespath

This is girl one's script:
Code:
label girlonespath:
    "Girl One's Random Text"

Ooohhh! Okay!
So it loads them all up at once.
That helps me quite a lot,
Thank you very much! :D

Yup, there's not much difference between 1 .rpy file and 20 .rpy files (well, there's more of them, but you get what I mean :lol: )
