Re: How to add characters to an already defined variable

An attribute is anything a python object might have as part of it. In the case of that message, it's just telling you that python strings (called by the class name str) don't have an add() function. The technical term for what you're trying to do is "concatenate", which just means to combi...

game maker studio VN object

One of my friends and I recently made this GM:S object that handles dialogue and defaults to a typical ADV style. It uses a mini-scripting language in separate files that can be written in whatever simple text program you want (I've been using notepad), which are then imported and processed when the...

Re: Drag & Drop problem

The result of moving a piece is controlled by the piece_dragged function. If you want to have a piece move back to where it was when it's not touching a spot at all, this section will need to be changed. if not drop: store.piecelist[(int(drags[0].drag_name[0]) * 10 + int(drags[0].drag_name[1]))][0] ...

combining the sprite manager and a CCD

I'm trying to make a game with bullet hell elements in it. I would like to use the sprite manager to speed up the rendering of any bullets that don't need anything fancy done to them, but I would also like to use the canvas object to draw lasers on the fly. While I know I could just add them both to...

Re: Monmusu quest style battle system

if you just mean the interface, then all you really have to do is play around with the screen language stuff and make variables for each stat and bar to keep track of everything. once you have a screen that looks right, you can put it in a loop (either a while loop or just a label that jumps to itse...

Re: custom mouse cursor code

Oh, whoops. That was my fault. The line for changing config.mouse should be a python statement:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ config.mouse = {"default" : ("GUI/light-red-cursor.png", 0, 0)}
hopefully I didn't forget anything else...

Re: custom mouse cursor code

I got the "expected statement" error. I think that's because the "add" statement is specific to screen language. I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but it isn't a good idea to use this code during an init block. The point behind this code is to be able to change the cursor d...

Re: displaying "this is [x]" fully when x= "a bag of [fruit]

$ fruit = "apples" # or inputted dynamically $ basket = "a bag of [fruit]" e "this is [basket]" strings used in say statements aren't always treated the same way as strings in python expression. I'm actually surprised your code didn't work anyway, since I thought the e...

Re: Creating a Drag and Drop planner

to make them go into a specific location, use the snap() function in combination with the x and y cooridinate of your drops. to make them snap back when they aren't dropped on anything, you need to first check if the dragged rectangle was dropped on any of the drops and then snap it back to where ev...

Re: prevent skipping for credits?

a quick suggestion: if your game has any replay value or has multiple endings it's a good idea to only make the credits unskippable the first time the player goes through them. having to sit through them every time can be incredibly annoying one way to do this is to use $ renpy.pause(pause_time, har...

Re: Show images above a screen?

Assuming I'm reading your code correctly, having images with parallax on top of the screens would require having another set of layers that are added to config.layers after the default ones. if that is correct, then an adjustment like this would work: # Controls the movement of the image according t...

Re: Show images above a screen?

the first solution that comes to mind is to add a screen adds images based on a list, but I'm not sure if renpy's prediction would still work. if you want to try that, it would be something like this: screen top_images: for i in imagelist: add i[0]: pos i[1] label start: $ imagelist = [["zei.pn...

Re: Visual novel and Point'n'click adventure? How?

the easiest ways to go about using renpy for a point and click adventure would be either to avoid showing the main character (as with games such as myst) or to have the character only move when the player clicks on something (as with games like gabrial knight: the beast within). for the former, you ...

Re: Dynamic Cursor Config

try using this to make the cursor invisible:
http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/mouse.ht ... et_visible

if that works, they you can use the pos value from any MOUSEMOTION events to check where the cursor is and place whatever image you want there.
