Adding Stats to Characters ... easily

[nextgen]

Friends i am very new to Ren'py, what would i need to add to my script.rpy to include the separate stats file above in 1st post

Ren'Py does not need to expressly "include" other files into the script, anything named with a .rpy extension is automatically read at start up.

So, just create a new rpy file and put the bits you want in there.

Okay, I've got one more request: could you possibly make the Inventory object iterable, please? I'm not entirely sure how to do it. I need it so this will work:

Code: Select all

for item in char.bag:
            label ImageReference(char.bag.item.image)

The most versatile approach is probably to add a @property to the Inventory class:

Code: Select all

        @property
        def items(self):

            return [ self.__dict__[k] for k in self.__dict__ 
                     if isinstance(self.__dict__[k], BaseItem) ]

then access the property list through char.bag.items (note it returns the objects, not the name, so just ImageReference(item.image) would do)

[isak grozny]

Okay, adding that to the Iventory object and using this code:

Code: Select all

for item in char.bag.items:
        vbox:
            label ImageReference(item.image)

... produces this error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

What am I doing wrong?

[Remix]

I'd need to see your code... The error is because item.image resolves to None, not because of the inventory bits.

Maybe try

$ item_info = ",".join( [ "{}={}".format(k, item[k]) for k in item.__dict__ if k not in object.__dict__ ] )
text "[item_info!q]"

in your vbox (rather than the error creating label) to help debug

[isak grozny]

I am actually a huge idiot, I forgot to add an image to the image field. Going to re-test now.

[isak grozny]

Okay, I still can't figure out how to display the images associated with each item, in a list and/or grid. Could you please spell it out for the terminally dense?

[Racheal-Moon]

Thank you for this. I don't have a ton of experience with Python, but I do with other languages, so this gave me a solid base to work off to created a tiered friendship stat (as well as convenient storage for the other important stats).

Did you have a preference in how you would like to be credited?

I would suggest just starting off with building a screen with some non inventory images in it. Then, depending on how you referenced those images in the screen (personally I'd just use ` add "images/some_icon.png" ` in the screen rather than using ImageReference lookups) just take that part (the "images/some_icon.png" bit if just using add) and include that as an attribute of each item. Then when iterating through the items, you'd just use something like ` add item.image ` ...

Maybe just a "thanks to Remix for some code snippets on which to build parts of the game from" ... or no mention. No need to give credit, just knowing you found it useful is enough.

Would it be possible to show a character's name with their color/who_affixes included? (i.e. The way they would be styled in a say statement.)

For example:

Code: Select all

define character.a = Character("Amber", color="#F9A", who_prefix="Miss ")
default a = CharData("a")

label test:

    "Expected: {color=#F9A}Miss Amber{/color}
    \nReceived: [a.title]"

[Remix]

You'd likely want to write a method in the stats class for that, perhaps:

Code: Select all

init python:

    class CharacterStats(BaseStatsObject):

        # Set the store.{prefix}.character_id value
        # STORE_PREFIX = "character_stats"

        # Boolean toggle for validation - defaults both True
        # VALIDATE_VALUES = False
        # COERCE_VALUES = False

        STAT_DEFAULTS = {
            'gender' : 'f',
            'age' : 22,
            'location' : 'school',
            'affection' : 1,
            'obedience' : 0.01,
        }

        @property # we use it as a property so we can easily put it in [interpolation]
        def colour_name(self):
            return "{{color={colour}}}{name}{{/color}}".format(
                name=str(getattr( character, self._id )), # this gets the name by calling the __str__ method of the Character class
                colour=self.who_args.get('color') ) # this gets the colour by exploring who_args (which is in the character instance)


default test_name = "Amber"
define character.a = Character("[test_name]", who_color="#F9A")
default a = CharacterStats("a", location='lounge', affection=15, age=21)


label start:

    a "my name is [a.colour_name]"

[JustaHelpfulLurker]

Okay, so after some tinkering, would this code still work? (Sorry, I'd test it myself, but don't own a computer anymore. All I have left is a tablet.)

Code: Select all

init python:

    class CharacterStats(BaseStatsObject):

        STAT_DEFAULTS = {
            'gender' : 'f',
            'age' : 22,
            'affection' : 1
        }

        @property

        def color(self):
            return self.who_args.get('color')

        def color_name(self):
            return "{{color={}}}{}{{/color}}".format(
                self.who_args.get('color'),
                str(getattr( character, self._id ))
            )

        def title(self):
            return "{}{}{}".format(
                self.who_args.get('prefix'),
                str(getattr( character, self._id) ),
                self.who_args.get('suffix')
            )

        def color_title(self):
            return "{{color={}}}{}{}{}{{/color}}".format(
                self.who_args.get('color'),
                self.who_args.get('prefix'),
                str(getattr( character, self._id )),
                self.who_args.get('suffix')
            )


define character.a = Character("Amber", who_color="#F9A", who_prefix="Miss ")
default a = CharacterStats("a", age=21, affection=15)


label start:

    a "Hi, my name is [a.color_title]!"

Another way to add only variables to "Character" is like this

Code: Select all

init python:
    class Avatar(renpy.character.ADVCharacter):
        '''Avatar (character under player\'s control), with stats and inventory'''

        def __init__(self, name,kind=None,**kargs):
            renpy.character.ADVCharacter.__init__(self,name.capitalize(),kind,**kargs)
            
            self._equip=False
            self._equiplist={"head":None,"body":None,"weapon":None,"shield":None,"feet":None}
            
            self.name = name.capitalize()
            self.title = " "
            self.position=(0,0)
            self.level=1
            self.exp=0
            self.exp_accumulated=0
            self.HP=100
            self.MP=30
            self.base_HP=100
        def add_stat(self, name="prueba", value=0):
            setattr(self, name, value)
            #msgs.show('==={} created variable {}==='.format(self.name,name))
            return 0

to define "Avatar (Character)", it is like this

Code: Select all

define a=Avatar('Danny', color="#ff0000" , what_color="#ffffff")

a "bla bla bla"

to add more stats is

Code: Select all

a.add_stats("skills",["skill1","skill2"])

hi trying to implement this into my character stats page. is there anyway to add character side image to this code? like in stats page characters has their picture and if you click on the image at left side of the page shows character side image at the top and a list of stats under the image.

I did figure all out but i have no idea how to add side image of character to show up there with other variables.

Thanks
