Re: Best coding practice for efficient dialogue structure from 16 different possible roleplays for the protagonist?

Lastly... Character instances can have the condition parameter set to a string which is evaluated to a boolean... default pc_class = "Mage" default pc_alignment = "Good" define evil_mage = Character("Evil Mage", condition = "pc_class=='Mage' and pc_alignment=='Evi...

It depends on what you want to achive.
Elements themselves can be modified in various like with Image Attributes, Atl, Styles, or directly by changing directly the children and thus hierarchical structure.

Re: Best coding practice for efficient dialogue structure from 16 different possible roleplays for the protagonist?

If the protagonist is an "Identity" not a "Choice" then the best bet is to structure your labels to contain that. Something like MageEvil_first_meeting, KnightGood_first_meeting, and so on. That way you can write arbitrary scenes for every role. You can even use expressions to ca...

Re: Using imagebutton to return variables?

Thanks, I knew I was on the wrong track! It works with a simple variable, but is it possible with an array as well, e.g. if player[0] is strength? I don't find any examples/docs. This (and other formats I tried) just give an exception: action SetVariable("player[0]", player[0]+1) Call you...

Re: Does Ren'py have a GUI to design Frames/Windows easier?

You can reload the script while running and you can reuse GUI code.
There is also the Interactive Director.

The problem is Renpy works with Code so you have to write Code.
Besides a WYSIWYG Editor might look easy, but its a Mess when you need to take care of the structure, details and intricacies.

Re: I thought adding the same tag to screens made them disappear when I show another one?

You want to use your own layer for this and use the renpy.scene(layer='your layer') to clear it. It's equivalent to having a bunch of hide statements for everything on that layer. Tags do not work that well when you have multiple stuff to show at the same time, it can only replace one thing with ano...

The most important thing... Is that which you suck at. A VN is a combination of 3 different things into a total experience that draws you in,if one aspect fails it detracts from the experience I for example Can't get into both Higurashi or Umineko as the art repels me(and cause I have been spoiled w...

What you all misunderstand is that ultimately Ren'py is a TOOL If you focus on the creating stuff with it and chose your examples carefully(I think there is a reference in The question that you could edit the script) you should have no problem The only problem is that it focuses on visual novels so ...
