Brilliant. That did it, thank you.

that's not actually an empty variable, it's a string that says "None". If run in normal python blocks, it works fine. It's just the "true=runReply()" part of that second question that it doesn't like. I made sure to check for that. hiding nonexistent things sounds good. I'll do that for the first is...

so I have an "action If()" call in a screen... on "replace" action If(activeMessage.seen == False, true=[SetVariable("unread", unread - 1), SetField(activeMessage, "seen", True)] ) and it works fine unless the condition returns false. I don't want it to do anything in that case, but apparently I can...

Ah, thank you. Strangely, I had just stumbled on the style.say_label stuff. One more thing I can check off.

I know it's style.say_who_window.something, but I'm not sure what. Most of what I've tried has ended up centering the namebox on screen.

aha. Strange, I haven't had to do that before. It worked, but I'd love to know why, if you know. Also, sort of related question, I have: if activeMessage.seen == False: unread -= 1 activeMessage.seen = True in a python block inside a screen. The activeMessage.seen = True part evaluates, but the unre...

I'm getting an error message that says local variable "unread" referenced before assignment pointing to the line with the arrow below. This has me a bit thrown off because 1) unread isn't local and 2) it's assigned right above this function, and again after the start label. I get the error only when...

Below are two screens in a series used for text messaging. For the most part, they work fine, but I'm getting some strange behaviour between these two. What should be happening is once the player gets to the "Sent" screen, that little python block runs, which will add the chosen reply to their mail ...

sounds like a good place to start. So within that would I be able to do something like: transform floatyText(words, xal, yal): show Text(words): xalign xal yalign yal on show: alpha 0.0 linear .5 alpha 1.0 on hide: linear .5 alpha 0.0 pause 5.0 hide Text(words) image floatyTextThing: contains: float...

I'm trying to get an effect where lines of text will dissolve in somewhere (possibly somewhere random, but I might just give the illusion of randomness to avoid actual randoms), wait a bit, then dissolve out. The tricky bit is I want them to do this at different, but overlapping times. For example, ...

Works exactly the way I had hoped. Thank you again.

Yeah, I'd use a viewport. If you don't know what that is, it's a box that only shows part of a bigger thing, like a small portion of an image, or part of a list too large to fit on screen. I'm using a couple for long lists of messages in my current project. They're pretty nifty. The documentation fo...

I was informed of a trick to disable rollback for a single Class by importing renpy.NoRollback into it when defining the Class, but when I try that it gives me the "module object has no attribute NoRollback." For another piece of code (the shaker object from the cookbook), I had to import renpy.expo...

show MC main at right show Mie main at right2 with move One would think this would move both these images at the same time, but for some reason it doesn't, it moves MC main then Mie main, as if they each had their own with move attached to them. That little chunk gets jumped to directly from the en...

Brilliant! Thanks again to everyone for all the answers.
