why ren'py? WHY ?!!

[AlfieMachica123]

uhm i have some quick question guys,

in python this code works:

Code: Select all

a = ['a','b','c','d','e']
b = a

and whenever i print b, it works, it will print out:

Code: Select all

['a','b','c','d','e']

####### meanwhile in renpy

but when i go like this on renpy:

Code: Select all

c = 'abcde'
global b
b = []  ## the suspicious variable
def sveSpl(x)
   c = x[0]
   for d in range(1, len(x)):
      c += (' '+c[d])
   e = c.split()
   b = e ## still suspicious variable
   return e

and when i call it:

Code: Select all

hmm = sveSpl('abcde')
e "[hmm!]"
e "[b!]" ## the suspicious variable, again

it prints out:

Code: Select all

[]

instead of:

Code: Select all

['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

if you understand what i am saying, any help will be so so so much appreciated, thank ou

b isn't global inside the function. Setting it to global outside has no effect on the b inside the function scope.

[AlfieMachica123]

if i set it global inside that function, will it work with other functions?

[Anima]

No, the global designation just means that the b inside the function is the same as the global b. It's probably better to give it as a parameter.

ok , i understand , thanks for the tip thank you so much

uhmm can i ask something,

How do I make the Ace Attorney style typing sound work? The SFX only plays once using the code in the FAQ

Have you tried making a callback that triggers the sound to play on "show_done"

http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/character_callbacks.html

If that doesn't work, you could try and make a looping sound that begins on "show" and stops on "slow_done".

[AlfieMachica123]

base from the code you have given me, where do i insert the loop?

Code: Select all

def beepy_voice(event, interact=True, **kwargs):
        if not interact:
            return
        if event == "show_done":
            renpy.sound.play("beeps.ogg")
        elif event == "slow_done":
            renpy.sound.stop()

and also, is it possible to make the sound play accordingly with every word (one word plays one beep sound)? just to make the sound not so constant, just like ace attorney., i hope you understand what i am trying to say here, thank you so much, opinion is much appreciated.

To loop, just add in a Loop=True. So it becomes...

Code: Select all

def beepy_voice(event, interact=True, **kwargs):
        if not interact:
            return
        if event == "show_done":
            renpy.sound.play("beeps.ogg", loop=True)
        elif event == "slow_done":
            renpy.sound.stop()

Though that doesn't sync of with the word display, it just keeps repeating the sound until the text finishes displaying. If you can change your text speed to a CPS that makes one word appear at a time, it might get close.
