How to display percentage of your game completed/read

[morg]

hi there!
I got the idea from a few visual novels where they show you how much of the game has been completed based on the read script. so I found the renpy.count_dialogue_blocks() and renpy.count_seen_dialogue blocks() functions and found out how you could use those functions to display a percentage completed counter.

to do that, first paste this before start

Code: Select all

init python:    
    def percent():
        global result
        result = seen * 100 / dialogue

and add this after start

Code: Select all

    $ result = 0
    $ dialogue = renpy.count_dialogue_blocks()
    $ seen = renpy.count_seen_dialogue_blocks()

then, when you want to use the function, add this

Code: Select all

    $ percent()
    "[result]\%"

notes:
- don't forget to add the backslash before the percent sign or else it will give you errors
- The documentation says:

This (the seen dialogue blocks) number may be larger than the result of renpy.count_dialogue_blocks() when the script has changed and older dialogue blocks are no longer accessible.

You can avoid this problem by deleting persistent data, and the player wouldn't encounter this anyway.
-the best place for this function is somewhere on a screen. If you want to do that though, don't forget to call the percent() function right before you call your screen.

that's it, I hope someone makes use of this!

Hey! I tried out your code and it didn't quite work for me, but changing it to this did:

before start:

Code: Select all

init:
    default result = 0
    default dialogue = renpy.count_dialogue_blocks()

somewhere else (I have it in a separate script, but it should work wherever)

Code: Select all

init python:
     def percent():
            global result
            global dialogue
            seen = renpy.count_seen_dialogue_blocks()
            result = seen * 100 / dialogue

Then I was just able to use [result] to display it, no slash needed. Thanks for this though, it's a really handy feature! (I'm using renpy 6.99.10)

I only wrote this before start

Code: Select all

init:
    default seen = renpy.count_seen_dialogue_blocks()
    default dialogue = renpy.count_dialogue_blocks()
    default result = seen * 100 / dialogue

then in screen.rpy, in the screen main_menu I added this

Code: Select all

vbox:
        xpos 0.02 ypos 0.98
        xanchor 0.0 yanchor 1.0
        $ percent = "Finished: [result]%"
        text percent xalign 0.5

It looks like it can run normally O_o I wonder if there is any difference between this method and the one you guys mentioned
