saving static values/classes

[Ayutac]

So far I only had instances of objects and got the saving work by deriving from store.object. But does this also work for static values which are not constants? I'm planning on making a static class because else only one instance would be needed and there would be several points where I would have to import it with global.
Or is it just a bad idea to operate with static classes in Ren'Py or Python?

It's not a very useful idea I expect, there is little to be gained by using using a static class in Python. If you decide to use one, make sure it is declared in a label, not init since it's values are not meant to be constants (they will be overwritten even if you inherit from store.object otherwise). So in short, in order to get variables in your static class to save you'll either have to declare it in in label or write a save/load function to store/load the data somewhere where it's safe.

I never tried this myself, but I do expect it to work like this.
