@Alex 's code is a good approach. One of the things you have to take into account is the relative weighting. For example - you have three tasks, but what if the player chooses "rarely" for all three? Does that make them equally weighted? That doesn't feel "rare" to me. So, to start off with, rating ...

Your approach of using different arrays under different conditions is actually a very good one. One thing you could look at would be to build that array dynamically. Yes, it needs Python, but it’s not gross. I’m mobile right now, and my iPad will not let me do a good job typing code. I’ll try to edi...

Not sure, but maybe it’s because you have the intervening “voice” command? On thing you could try would be to have the second and third lines include the text from the previous line(s), but use the “fast” tag so the user doesn’t see it re-displaying. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/text.html#text-tag...

This is known behavior within a screen. The same thing happens if you save and restore within a screen. The fix for saving is here: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/save_load_rollback.html#retaining-data-after-load But the critical fact for you is that rollback and roll forward are based on the same s...

Or just render the image you’re going to vpunch larger than your viewport.

This is just a guess, but if the default is to write to the SDK folder, that one is probably blocked from non-administrative writing if you put Ren’py in the Applications folder. If Ren’py is put in another area, relative paths may work. But point it at your Documents folder would probably suffice f...

Exactly when do you get this? When you first launch the executable? When you start a new game? When you load a save? As I'm sure you can see, what it's complaining about is that somehow the game is trying to start playing music before it's completely out of the init phase. Have you recently done som...

Stupid question, but did you try specifying an absolute path? Something like "/Users/myAccount/Documents/renpy.log"? It's possible the "default location" is one that Ren'py doesn't have permission to write into.

Couldn’t you just create a PNG image with transparent background and the lines and show it under the objects? Or are they dynamic?

Thank you for the detailed explanation. The save and rollback/roll-forward are issues that would never have occurred to me. So, just to make sure I'm understanding - 1. If someone creates a save during the "pause" in "my_label," when the save is loaded, Ren'py will restart things by calling "an_obje...

Trying to make sure I understand something. I was trying to write something vaguely like this: Script: someone "says something" $ an_object.a_method() someone "says something" Inside "an_object": def a_method(self): do some calculations renpy.call(my_label) do some more calculations and label my_lab...

OK, I found the problem. It was my own stupidity, an incomplete understanding of how the "after_load" label works, and a typo all rolled into one... (eyeroll)

One option that comes to mind - there are Ren’py methods that will allow you to know if you’re on a mobile device. You could try creating a new custom layer that would live behind the rest of the game, and put the background content on it, sized to 100% screen size. Whether of not this would work de...

To the best of my knowledge, if you don’t put an explicit transition in, “scene” does not (or doesn’t any more) include a “dissolve” transition.

Depends a lot on the type of file, and what you need to do with. Is this something used by the game code?
