Can you call the result of a variable? I'm not sure. If not, then the only solution I could offer would be to call a long chain of if statements, if the variable is X, call Y, etc.

You should be able to just type "show ImageA at postion" No brackets needed.

Hmm, I might try to figure something out, I'm just not exactly sure where to start. I mean, the problem is with older saves of my game not loading up in the latest version with the variables it should. I mean they define all right for people loading a new game, so they're obviously getting read and ...

Ok, I tracked down an older save file, and it does cause hellacious issues. Default doesn't seem to be working as it's meant to, it's not initializing variables that were created after the save file was formed. The save file does really weird stuff too, like it shows up and works fine for a bit, but...

Hmm. Very interesting. So I would need to add one of those for any variable that's been added to the game since earlier versions, but that might be worth it. It would only need to load once each time a save is loaded, at least. I could also combine that with my existing version-checking element to s...

Is it in the game folder, next to script.rpy? What is the file name? You don't need to call or reference the file directly or anything like that, but you will need to call/jump to labels within that new file, depending on what's in there.

It's automatic. You can make as many or as few scripts as you like, and so long as they are all in the base "game" directory, they get included into the final game as if they were a single file.

Interesting, would it be too much trouble to walk me through how that works? Is "after_load" a special label that plays after a save is loaded up, or would I have to put it someplace specific? Is globals().keys() all the "know" variables? And would I need to make a unique if stat...

Yeah, I'm not really sure what's causing it, and I'm getting the reports in second hand. All the variables in question are initialized using a long init -1: block, default Variable = "whatever", and in most cases this seems to work fine, if it didn't then the game would be completely unpla...

I think you'd want it like this: grid 3 1: style_group "prefs" xfill True # The left column. vbox: frame: style_group "pref" has vbox label _("Display") textbutton _("Window") action Preference("display", "window") textbutton _("Fullsc...

I've been getting feedback on an issue and I'm not sure what's causing it. My understanding is that when you use "default Variable", then it will initialize that variable even in old saved games, and it almost has to work that way usually or most of my game updates would end up super buggy...

So if the character's names could be "Larry, Curly, or Moe" and someone is addressing Moe, you want the dialog to say "So how are you doing, Moe?" while if they are addressing Larry, it says "How are you doing, Larry?" Well the way I'd do it, maybe not the best way, wou...

Yup, and if you have that many images, you might want to consider layering multiple images, like faces/hair/clothing over a body to reduce redundancy, up to you though.

Yeah, the thing to always remember about if-flow is that whenever it finds something is "True," it gives up entirely, (unless there is an "and" in there that makes it False). So basically you want to line things up in such a way that it will check the most likely thing first, and...

As you state above, the (completely unnecessary in this use case) ideal is to not execute code you don't need to, which is why I tried to set it up in such a way that you'd only assign $result once and random would only be called once. You're right, I think I had a mental blindspot in this where wh...
