DSE with timed cut scenes

[Calissa Leigh]

If I were to use DSE for the day planner part, and I want a series of event checks every 7 days, 15 days and after every 30 days, what's the protocol?

And if I wanted two days a week to have a different calendar every day?


I could do it "long hand" with the Ren'Py system. I was in the middle of coding it by using just variables and listing the days one by one in the script, and then when I wanted I had event checks. I was wondering if there's a variable I could use to make use of the DSE code?

Like an event.only or event.depends, but the system will stop every so often, and then check those events listed for those particular times and will see if any should be shown?

Or is it only triggered by stat every day? Hm... maybe setting up a stat that equals to 7 and 15 and 30 and starts over after it reaches those times?

Or maybe event trigger:

Code: Select all

    $ event("biweeklyevent", "act == 'eventname'", and day = 15, 30, 45, 60, priority=200)    

Hmm... something similar...

Code: Select all

    
$ event("weeklyevent", "act == 'eventname1' and day % 7 = 0", priority=200)
$ event("biweeklyevent", "act == 'eventname2' and day % 15 = 0", priority=200)    

% is the module (division remainder) operator. You can use the same idea to show different choices in the day planner during the weekends:

Code: Select all

dp_choice("name", value="somevalue", show="day % 7 = 1 or day % 7 = 6"):

Wow. Yes. That'll work. Thanks bunches!
