image not defined even if it is defined??

[glithch]

god, i might have to start sleeping on this forum.
sorry for getting on here wih such simple questions. i seem to understand harder stuff, its just the stuff that should work dont work xd
so ok im getting the error

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 218, in script call
    python:
  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 85, in script call
    python hide:
  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 85, in script call
    python hide:
  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 85, in script call
    python hide:
  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 85, in script call
    python hide:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 229, in script
    menu:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 230, in <module>
    "both of you wear black!" if black_done == False:
NameError: name 'black_done' is not defined

this is how my code looks

Code: Select all

        r "uh, i dont know"
        $ black_done = False
        $ touchy_done = False
        $ het_done = False
label reason_choice:  
        r "for real, why did you think we are together?"  
        menu:
            "both of you wear black!" if black_done == False:
              $ black_done = True
              jump black
            "she super touchy with you!" if touchy_done == False:
              $ touchy_done = True
              jump touchy
            "i dont know! you are a boy and shes a girl!" if het_done == False:
                $ het_done = True
                jump het

why is it telling me that black_done is not defined when it is defined???
and it doesnt have trouble with any of the other (...)_done
i tried just deleting the black_done and the rest works fine, but i need that?

edit: ok so im looking now and the rest of the commands dont work either. so there must have been something wrong with the definition even if i cant see what

Have you defined the python variables in an init?

umm not sure what is init
i wrote this

Code: Select all

$ black_done = False
        $ touchy_done = False
        $ het_done = False

at the top

edit: ok i looked around and figured it out x-x
its weird because neither the tutorial nor the wiki entry about choices like that mentioned init.
but i got it thank you!

Current best practices is not to define your variables in an init, but to use the default statement like so:

Code: Select all

default black_done = False
default touchy_done = False
default het_done = False

label start:
    "blah blah blah"

Jeez I keep forgetting this... Old habits die hard.

I like the way the new default works, and I like it aesthetically on the page...so I'm happy to bring it up. Also, the new using define for persistent variables...so nice!

oh! i like that more. ill make sure to use it next time. at this point it would be too much messing around to change it
