EDIT: turned out I didn't put a return statement at the end of an after_load label. D'OH! I'm using the in-built spritemanager to make a minigame combining pygame, custom displayables and unit objects (using python quite heavily), but when I end the interaction and tell renpy to save and load, all s...

thanks for the answer, man.

main advantage I'd hope to get was to not just cache a single render but multiple, basically caching a simple animation. I don't suppose you've got any ideas about that?

I was thinking that maybe showing a lot of displaybles on screen could be sped up by storing a render object inside the displayable instance and have the render method return that if nothing's changed, or maybe store a couple of different renders and just return the one that's needed rather than rer...

Thanks for the reply! I think each unit has a 'brain' which constitutes its AI which also references itself, as do the weapons attached to a ship, but this usually is not problem. I use this function all the time without issue even with that. however, I guess it's a hint as to what sort of thing to ...

I'm not even sure if this is the right place to ask about this issue, but I can't think of another. A user reported the following exception which I haven't seen happen before: I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "game/script.rpy", line 2399, in scri...

To what extent can movie sprites be manipulated as with static displayables, and can a loop point be defined so as to not replay the entire video as shown in the example? asking the important questions! If I can use this inside a dynamic displayable there are so many neat things possible :D this is...

I'm not sure what you're doing with the style lines inside the screen, but it seems it crashes without a $ in front of them denoting they're not screen language but python lines. I don't think they should be there at all, though. then again, I know nothing about styles as I never use them :/ I'm als...

I'd love if the renpy.music.play function accepted a delay. I can time animations with ATL just fine but timing multiple sounds is pretty annoying.

in my experience things will usually be okay though changing label names and removing lines can get problematic. Particularly if you use a lot of python stuff (your own classes etc) it may be a good idea to use the 'after_load' label which can fix/update some stuff before a save finishes loading and...

that's really interesting thanks again!

alright, I'll have to make that then thanks!

see subject. is this possible? I could probably do something like that by using pygame more closely but I was wondering if there's an easier way to do this that I'm not seeing. in this case I want to use the WASD keys to scroll a viewport. it works now but you have to tap the button to scroll, which...

since the store screen is shown by the user pressing a button I have to use an Action to do it instead of regular statements, and there only seems to be the Show action and no call screen equivalent. I could write a custom action, though.
thanks for the reply!

So during dialogue I have a button that shows a full-screen store, but I'm not sure if having it on a higher zorder than the say window is recommended. therefore I tried hiding the say screen and showing it after, but Show('say') doesn't work as it requires 2 extra values (who and what) which is not...

This does have potential, I think. I'm willing to try it if nothing else.
