Okay, I like this so far:



But while I can enter text in the top "First Name" field, I can't seem to switch over to the second input. Clicking on the box does nothing, tab won't do it, etc.

So far my intro asks the player for their first and last name, and then calls the character creation screen where they select other options. What I'd like to do is simplify things so that the character creation screen is a one-stop shop for all this info. Current code: vbox: #label "Character Select...

Ah, works, tahnks.

I've got a variable to keep track of the time of day, segmented into five periods (dawn, morning, afternoon, evening, late). It's timeOfDay, defined in an init-2: block. $ global timeOfDay $ timeOfDay = 1 In an init-1 block I've got a function that uses timeOfDay: def advanceTime(x): n = 0 while n <...

I've got a character creation screen that allows players to choose their various options via radio buttons. It's working fine, but I'd like to allow them to set the character's name on the screen as well. (Currently the name is set through standard renpy.input statements outside of the custom charac...

Okay, trying to implement that as a cludge: init -1: python: class NPC(object): def __init__(self, name): self.reputation = 0 self.name = name def reputationChange(self, x): self.reputation += x if x > 0: renpy.notify("Relationship with [self.name] improved") else: renpy.notify("Relationship with [s...

I'd like to define characters as objects with properties to define their current attitude towards the player, attitude, and other stats. Something where I can just call on Jane.reputation or Jane.mood or Jane.health or whatever. I can implement that fine, but at the same time I'm wondering how to in...

Well, what I was originally trying to do was set up events as objects, with each object having a method called to evaluate whether or not the event was currently valid (returning True or False) and a method to be executed when the event triggered. When an event was required, the handler would make a...

I think that using weakref to simulate a Singleton pattern might not be pickle-able...

Is there a way to do what I'm trying to go for in a manner more pickleable?

Have you perhaps considered a factory or dispatcher style pattern? Personally I'd edge toward one overlord class that just holds and spawns sub classes for events, basically a handler or over-seer class. Init that in a 0 or -1 offset and just register/amend/delete events from that. Ren'py should ha...

Okay, I've got things mostly working, except for the small detail where I define my objects in init but their methods don't fire after saving and loading. I've figured out that I need to define my objects outside of init and after the start label, but then the instances throw errors because the Even...

So I'd store the conditionals as strings?

'a == 1 && b == 2 && c == 3'
if eval(x):
foo

Great! One other object related question, though. Say I wanted the requirement to be more complex; for example, to trigger, it has to be at night time, the player has to have met Mary, and they need $10 on hand. I think it'd be easiest to have a method to check ~whatever~ in each object, returning T...

Ah, so there really isn't a way to just construct a list of all objects of class Events?

Looks great.

How would I make a dynamic list of events whose requirement was currently returning True? I'd like to do this at runtime every time a check had to be made - gather up all the currently possible events and run one of them.
