Info Screen trouble

[lovebby]

I seem to be having a lot of problems with this.
It's not with the info screen per se, but the code for one character.
Basically,

Code: Select all

$ a.description = "blah"
$ a.memo = "blah"
text text
$ allchars = [e, d,c, b, a,]

Code: Select all

 $ a = char(
        name="a", 
        race="Human",
        age="-",
        birthmonth="-",
        job="Cobbler",
        hobby="-",
        likes="-",
        dislikes="-",
        memo="something",
        description="something", 
        task = " ",
        dateable=False,
        pic="c/a/pro.png"

And it gives me :

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 1139, in script
  File "game/script.rpy", line 1139, in python
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'description'

the same when it gets to memo , and when I just use the "allchars" with "a" in there it gives me

While running game code:

Code: Select all

  File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 144, in script
  File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 144, in python
  File "game/CharProfiles.rpy", line 184, in python
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'name'

It only effects this character for whatever reason? All the other characters are just fine with this coding, but "a" messes up whenever I try to open the info screen with him on it.
It's stumped me for a while.

Look at how you defined the variable a.
Make sure it did not get accidentally redefined.

[lovebby]

Sadly that's not it, I've redid his definitions a few times, copy and pasted from working characters and just changed the info.

[jesusalva]

I'm not an expert but...
are you sure that "a" IS a character, not a string?

I mean... ren'py is thinking that it is a text string. Are you sure that this IS NOT a text string?

just for curiosity... are you using "class a" or "a = Character()"?

[lovebby]

Oh pft, I should had thrown his code up, aha.

Code: Select all

 $ a = char(
        name="a", 
        race="Human",
        age="-",
        birthmonth="-",
        job="Cobbler",
        hobby="-",
        likes="-",
        dislikes="-",
        memo="something",
        description="something", 
        task = " ",
        dateable=False,
        pic="c/a/pro.png"

So a character =.
Would it be better to try class?

[Elmiwisa]

No, class a is going to be even worse. Your definition is correct (except for the missing parenthesis, but I assumed it's in your code and you simply did not copy it). Check to make sure you did not redefine it accidentally somewhere else.
For example, you might have done some thing like this:

Code: Select all

a.task="blah"
a="bah"   #<---a get redefined here!!!
a.memo="..."

To make it quicker to locate the problem, try adding this to right after label start and run the game to see what you get:

Code: Select all

$narrator(a)

[lovebby]

AH yeah, I forgot the parenthesis aha.

I tried that and it didn't help at all, there was nothing extra redefining the character.

I took him a out completely to see if that would've done anything and the game ran perfectly, before and after he's scenes and after characters ran smoothly as well.
I'm thinking I might just have to recode his somehow?

[Elmiwisa]

Have you try adding

Code: Select all

$narrator(a)

near the point where the bug happen to see what you get?
