I built this just because I was bored: init python: class StringRotator(object): def __init__(self, *strings): self.strings = strings[:] self.current = -1 self.max = len(strings) def __str__(self): self.current += 1 if (self.current >= self.max): self.current = 0 return self.strings[self.current] de...

There it goes: a blurried picture of a programmer's mess. As you can see, the basics are all there: widescreen, G-110 keyboard, 6 button mouse, tobacco (+ rolling paper, filter tips, lighter, and ashtray), and 7.1 speakers. And there are a few extras, like the printer/scanner (supposedly it also wor...

Now I am confused. I can call curry functions with arguments, just not non-curry functions? It looks like the main point is still evading you. Probably I failed to explain it properly. So let me try again, going step by step: The "action" you provide for a button should be a function. The...

I'm afraid you are overcomplicating things ^^' If I understand your code and your intention, you are trying to use SetVariable to set "clickedaction" to the appropriate value, and then use ChangeAction to set the actual field you need using the value just stored on "clickedaction"...

Uh, I think you lost me there. First of all, the function you give executes immediately - when the screen is run, rather than when the button is clicked. You'll need to curry it (see the documentation for renpy.curry on the wiki) to make the semantics what you want. Why does it execute immediately ...

The value gets stored in the _return global variable. Just make sure to retrieve it before anything else "returns" something and replaces the value. For example: call screen myScreen $ myScreenReturnedValue = _return # now the value is safe # Do more stuff ... # And later use myScreenRetur...

While netravelr's answer is sound and correct, I'd like to add some more insight to what's going on, and to provide a slight improvement on the syntax. First, the code I'd recommend you to use for this specific case is this: init python: def SetOldValues(): global var_a_old, var_b_old, var_c_old var...

Disclaimer : I haven't done too much Ren'py coding since 2008, and I am probably not aware of all the changes to the engine. Take these suggestions with a grain of salt. That's obvious. And I would have to copy every single line for every single menu manually. It should be possible to hack this thr...

Basically, an interaction ends when control leaves call screen. This can occur when Return returns something, a creator-defined action returns something, or a Jump occurs. (Also some other kinds of control transfer, like Quit, MainMenu, and so on.) One last question (I hope) for now: Is it possible...

Thanks for such a detailed answer. I have been away for the weekend; but I have found some time to re-read the documentation and, combined with your answers, things start making sense ^^ There are a few more things I'd like to ask (this time much more concise, I hope): 1) About define statements, my...

Back into the action after three long years, I did expect things would have changed quite a bit in the Ren'Py engine. In fact, I was surprised to see that we are still in the 6.x line :P I have been reviewing the documentation and most of the stuff seems clear enough, but there are a few details tha...

If it's okay to terminate the function, and the _entire python block it's in_ I hope it'd be ok, but I'd need to confirm what "terminate the function" exactly means. Let's say I have these scattered around my scripts: python: # This would most probably be within an init: class MyCallableC...

Both netravelr's and DragoonHP's replies can solve your problem, but there are a couple of things you should watch for: 1) Make sure to test how your timing code interacts with save/load and rollback. Especially, if you use the timestamps approach described by netravelr, you don't want to use, after...

It's been over three years since I last tortured the Ren'py engine, so I had to go for something big :twisted: ! Actually, what I'm looking for is not that big, and it is in fact a 180º turn from what I used to do back in 2008: rather than building huge python blocks, I'm looking for ways to do as m...

Good job, if i had seen it yesterday i would have totaly fallen for it. Me too ^^; - menu Similarly, the menu statement was a misfeature. It makes all the menus in every game look pretty much alike. It's probably best to get rid of it, and just encourage people to use ui.textbutton or ui.imagebutto...
