name 'part' is not defined

[Gear]

This is a very vague problem, since I don't know where it's happening. I'm going to do my best to explain, and if you need more information, I can provide it.

My game runs perfectly fine under normal circumstances. However, if I'm in the game, then go to the menu and click "Main Menu," I get this. If I hit "Ignore," it rounds back to my 'start' label instead of back to the main menu. If I stay at that point (my start label leads directly to a menu) and open the menu, and click on main menu again, it asks for confirmation like normal, then takes me back to the main menu if I select yes. It's not giving me much info to work with, as I can't identify where the problem is. My best guess is a bit of code actually called 'part' at the very beginning of my script file.

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    def threepart(prefix,suffix):
        return ConditionSwitch(
            "part == 1", prefix + "/1/" + suffix + ".png",
            "part == 2", prefix + "/2/" + suffix + ".png",
            "part == 3", prefix + "/3/" + suffix + ".png")

This piece of code was designed to identify which part of the game you're in, and alters the sprite file name to use as a result. It's also tied to this code here:

Code: Select all

label start:
    $ part = 1

...which, as you can see, is immediately after the start label as well. Why it's not detecting this, I do not know, if that even IS the problem. Because the game hasn't been fully written yet, there is not yet any place where parts 2 or 3 are activated.

So, does anyone have any insight?

Why don't you add one more condition that is "True"?

initialization happens before start. I got this problem, too, and then put the definition of the variables (in your example currently after start) into "early" (see options.rpy at the end), which is before any init. Recently someone brought up that saving issues could happen this way, but I can't find it right now and it all works for me... (In my example, the flag for a secret location is initialized there, just tested it, works fine after save/close game/launch game/load)

@Alex: I'm not sure what you mean. I sadly don't fully understand the code I'm using, since PyTom's the one who wrote it. My understanding is...cursory, at best.

@Ayutac: I will have to try that and post my results here. Thanks.

Ah, sorry, I meant

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    def threepart(prefix,suffix):
        return ConditionSwitch(
            "part == 1", prefix + "/1/" + suffix + ".png",
            "part == 2", prefix + "/2/" + suffix + ".png",
            "part == 3", prefix + "/3/" + suffix + ".png",
            "True", prefix + "/1/" + suffix + ".png"
            )

Excuse me if I'm wrong about this, but would that mean that if part == true, then part == 1 as well? What if it became false, would the error return, or...?

"part == 1", prefix + "/1/" + suffix + ".png" means if "part == 1" is TRUE, then prefix + "/1/" + suffix + ".png" is used.
so just "True" (or other non-zero value) means if "True" is TRUE, then prefix + "/1/" + suffix + ".png" is used.
False (or zero) do nothing. It's just pass to the next assessment. So putting "True" at the last assessment prevents all assessments become False.

It makes sense, but adding that bit of code in got me this when I tried to start the game up.
