Re: Multiple frames? Boxes? Screens? and managing interactio

Thanks for your thoughts here and in the other thread. Since you brought up the "screen choice" conundrum here, I think I should respond here. By discussing setting maximum, are you suggesting that rather than passing my menu over the the frame, I sort of cheat? By making the menu screen f...

Re: Altering UI elements at Runtime (Declaring Instances?)

Hm...that didn't work either. So this is what I did. I took the callback off of the Customer and the Narrater and left if on the Barber. I had the default can_Interrupt = False, and the default can_cont = True. In this instance, everything is good until we get to the barber. He starts his slow text ...

Re: Altering UI elements at Runtime (Declaring Instances?)

Some more data for those who might be in the know. I tried this variation on the above, I added the "or event == "show_down": to my second if block, like so: init python: def arrow(event, **kwargs): global can_interrupt global can_cont if event == "show" or event == "be...

Re: Altering UI elements at Runtime (Declaring Instances?)

So I changed my function by adding global variables (I think), like so (let me know if that isn't how you do global variables): init python: def arrow(event, **kwargs): global can_interrupt global can_cont if event == "show" or event == "begin": can_interrupt = True can_cont = Fa...

Re: Altering UI elements at Runtime (Declaring Instances?)

You are a superstar Alex...for real! I'm going to try out the Interrupt code, but I have a few questions about it: 1) why is the "If" there capitalized while if in other parts of Ren'py code is not capitalized? 2) I assume the None in the If(flag, do something, None) is what to do if the f...

Re: Multiple frames? Boxes? Screens? and managing interactio

So I used the layer manipulation and added a screen to get the game to look how I generally want it to look...but I have a couple more questions about the interaction.

Multiple frames? Boxes? Screens? and managing [SOLVED]

Hello! I'm a brand new VN creator and I'm procrastinating on my tenure book...um, I mean, I'm making a short VN in my spare time. I'm adapting a one act play and I'm trying to use it as a way to teach myself ren'py coding before I go all crazy with a longer sort of game. It is a test run, as it were...
