[SOLVED] List Values disappears after game reloading

[Azunelabs]

Sorry if my question's looks silly, i'm kinda newbie in Ren'Py.
I have a list where many elements appending during gameplay. For example:

Code: Select all

nvle "blah blah blah, let me present you Megou Satsuki"
$ list1.append('Satsuki')

So I restart the game and gone to other screen that checks if "Satsuki" in list1. Chcecking's return that "Satsuki" is not here.
How can I save list values so that they do not disappear after restarting?

In advance, thanks and sorry for my english :3

Where did you create your list? You shouldn't create it in an init, you need to create it under a label (like the start label).

I'm not certain that's the issue, as loading a saved game was never mentioned in the post. Sounds more like you want Persistent Data.

Oh guys, thanks, but for some reason, it's not working on me
Maybe it will be more understandful on pic?

Oh I see. Asceai was indeed correct, you do want persistent data. Persistent data "stays the same" through the game (even if you do not save) unless you manually change it. That means you'll want to do this:

Code: Select all

init -1 python hide:
    # Check if list1 exists! If it doesn't, make it!
    if persistent.list1 is None:
        persistent.list1 = []

Now if you do $ persistent.list1.append("Satsuki"), Satsuki will be added to that table.
This brings up another problem though. What happens if the game gets played twice? Or three times?

Code: Select all

$ persistent.list1.append("Satsuki")
$ persistent.list1.append("Satsuki")#uh-oh...
$ persistent.list1.append("Satsuki")#OH GOD NO
#oh no, "Satsuki" is in the list three times!

So before having the game happily add "Satsuki" to the list...

Code: Select all

if "Satsuki" not in persistent.list1:
    $ persistent.list1.append("Satsuki")#yay, unlocked!

You can see this in action in the attached demo script.
