Trouble with Info Screen

[lovebby]

I was trying to apply the info screen to my game, and it worked fine until I tried adding to it, and I don't know what to do?

Code: Select all

init python:
    # declares a class called 'char'
    default_var = '???'
    class char:
        #--------------------------VV--------if you want to change how much affection they start with
        def __init__(self, affection=0, name=default_var,species=default_var, age=default_var, birthday=default_var, trade=default_var, hobby=default_var, likes=default_var, dislikes=default_var, description=default_var, motto=default_var, dateable=True, pic='none'): #<-- this line sets all the defaults; the only one you'll probably use
            self.affection=affection
            self.name = name
            self.species = species
            self.age = age
            self.birthday = birthday
            self.trade = trade     
            self.hobby = hobby
            self.likes = likes
            self.dislikes = dislikes
            self.description = description
            self.motto = motto
            self.dateable=dateable
            self.pic=pic
            #You can add more areas if you want, just put self. and whatever it is you need
           
        def add_affection(self, amount):
            self.affection += amount
            if self.affection > affectionMax: 
                self.affection = affectionMax
               
        def normalize(self):
            if self.affection > affectionMax: 
                self.affection = affectionMax
            if self.affection < 0:
                self.affection = 0
               
init:
    #declare all the characters here, use the following format. Add as many as you want or need.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/_layout/screen_main_menu.rpym", line 11, in script
File "game/CharProfiles.rpy", line 79, in python
AttributeError: char instance has no attribute 'species'

Code: Select all

$ species = "Species: " + char.species

is line 79

You have

Code: Select all

init:
    #declare all the characters here, use the following format. Add as many as you want or need.
    $ Millicent = char(
 ... ... ...

    $ Adam = char(
 ... ... ...

    #these are the characters shown on the screen, you can add more as you meet new people
    $ allchars = [girl, boy]

The allchars list should have only the characters you've declared

Code: Select all

    $ allchars = [Millicent, Adam]  # case sensitive

Also, check the Adam's name.

[lovebby]

Ah yes, I added that in afterwards I say that aha.
It still doesn't change anything about the species thing though?

[Elmiwisa]

Try moving that line down to see if a different error occur. In fact, rearrange the lines from the "species" line to the "pic" line and see what other error you have.

[Alex]

That's strange - I've tried your code and it worked (wherever I put the button to call info screen - main menu or quick menu).
Check if you still have definitions for default boy and girl somewhere in your script files that does not have attribute 'species' (you should comment this code out or move the file outside of the game folder).

Also,

Code: Select all

$ viewing = "Girl" #<-- the default character to show when the info screen is first called

should be

Code: Select all

$ viewing = "Milli" #<-- the default character to show when the info screen is first called

Even if the attribute are not set, it will still get the default value, as long as it is still created using that __init__ method. And if it is not created that way, then why does it have the name attribute? (if it doesn't, the error would come from the "name" line). It seems like the attribute have to be deleted for this error to occur. And beside, lovebby removed the "girl" and "boy" from the list per your suggest already isn't it?
Or perhaps there is some sort of bug here and Ren'Py do not realize that the game script is updated and still use the old version.

Or perhaps there is some sort of bug here and Ren'Py do not realize that the game script is updated and still use the old version.

I have a diffuse feeling I had this behaviour once before. I suggest deleting the .rpyc file (have you changed the file name?) and maybe a restart.

You could try another class name too.
