Trying to dabble in UDDs again; hastily wrote up the following code as a test; anyone know why the transform only took affect once (based on output from renpy.log())? For anyone willing to help, you will need to specify your own "start_img" and a different layer. class Stage(renpy.Displaya...

If this is just a small bit and you have tons of complex calculations/conditions/timers and so on, look into DD or UDD. Both come with timers, UDD has a structure of a Python class that can handle any amount of complex logic/calculation and everything will be in one place. Other options are creatin...

Hi Xela, Otherwise, while this will (should) work, this is one messed up way of handling complex timed actions in Ren'Py. Depending on what exactly you need this for, there are not just the native Ren'Py time related functionality but almost the whole capabilities of Python itself... Are you saying ...

Per renpy users' advice, I plan on using empty screens with timers; for now, I'm hoping the following is possible; but I have some followup questions: screen TimerScreen( deferred_calls ): for time_delay, callable, args, kwargs in deferred_calls: timer time_delay action [ Function( callable, args, k...

Hi PyTom,

Thanks for the confirmation; we are conditioning it on data at the moment; we will keep using that method then.

Hi trooper6, As a follow-up 'sanity-check' question: it is possible to have multiple instances of the same screens shown at the same time? Or I would need to define X uniquely named screens based on the maximum number of timers I want ticking down simultaneously? Also, if I show say a screen named '...

Hi PyTom, we discovered what the issue was; apparently the update did occur (i.e. alpha was set to zero), but then the transform function was called again, setting it to something else. Is there a way to ensure that the transform is never, ever called again for an existing image/tag? (we've tried do...

Need some help from renpy experts; wish to get straight to the point... We are using a lot of custom transforms via transform functions like: blah = renpy.display.motion.Transform( child=None, function=<this thing here> ) renpy.show( "stufs", what=<something>, at_list=[blah], layer='custom...

Trooper, since you've had experience with timers before, if I set a timer to say 30 seconds, and call the screen, followed by another call screen statement; will the 30sec timed function be canceled?

Hi trooper6; I'll attempt to use a screen then; staying hopeful that issues won't arise.

Calling any/all renpy experts, Is there a way to invoke a python function after a specified amount of time? Something like: renpy.imaginary_deferred_func( fn=function_to_run, delay=10.0 ) ...dialogue and stuff... (10 seconds have passed now; 'function_to_run' gets executed) Some other considerations...

Been messing with transforms again, and I'm sort of stuck... see the code below renpy.show( 'something', at_list=[ place( 0, 0 ), slide( 200, 1.0 ), slide( -200, 1.0, start_offset=200 ) ] ) The goal was to place something at xpos, ypos of (0,0) and then slide something by an xoffset of 200 for 1 sec...

Ok! Thanks for the info PyTom!

Hi PyTom, Thanks for the quick response! Some followup questions; is there a suggested way to get the last known all of the last known transform properties for a particular image displayed on the scene list? Or the best way would be to do something like this: #this is mostly psuedocode def getProps(...

Hi all, Just wanted to confirm with anyone who has a lot of experience with transforms/ATL and a bit of experience in writing transform functions. If my terminology of 'transform functions' is not correct I mean the following: for me, a 'transform function' would be the following below called 'trans...
