FROM clauses

[Obscura]

Hello folks--

I have a few questions about 'from' clauses.

Let's say I added 'from clauses' to the last distribution of my game. For the next update, do I manually add them to new call statements? If so, where can I find more information about how they work? I don't quite understand the numbering system.

Or does Renpy manually add/update the existing 'from' clauses with each distribution?

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!

Adding from clauses should have changed your game's files.

You should be able to use those files. Ren'Py will add from clauses to any new call, while leaving the existing ones alone. If you deleted a call statement, you should add a label with its from clause.

Basically, the code:

call foo from _call_foo_1

is equivalent to:

call foo
label _call_foo_1:
pass

And is used so the call can more easily find the place it is supposed to return to. When generating from clauses, Ren'Py will pick names that are unique - you shouldn't have to think about it much.
