[SOLVED]Print Statements, assisstance please?

I have searched for an explanation. No such luck came my way.

I am currently trying to figure out how to use class methods that return a string using dot notation. More specifically: in a Ren'Py label.

Code: Select all

init python:
    class Nightmare(object):
        def __init__(self, happening):
            self.happening = happening
      
        def having_nightmare(self):
            return "you are having a %s Nightmare." % (self.happening)
        
        def no_nightmares(self):
            return "You sleep peacefully with no care in the world."

    You = Nightmare(Terrifying)

While this seems to run fine in regular python via a print statement. I have no idea how Ren'Py tackles the situation. Since print is not necessarily how Ren'Py "talks." So having a statement like:

Code: Select all

print You.having_nightmare()
print You.no_nightmares()

Provides no results.

And weaving things into python will not work. Since Ren'Py demands a label or Ren'Py code in general.

If you want Python replacement for Renpy dialogs like

Code: Select all

character "some text"

you can just invoke character object with string you want to say:

Code: Select all

$ character("some text")

Default character for text which does not mention character is narrator.

So you probably want followng:

Code: Select all

$ narrator(You.having_nightmare())

Ah, thank you Ocelot! I have found a documentation on it. Statement Equivalents was the page I was looking for. I simply had not searched correctly for it. I have figured the renpy.say() would work, but I need to experiment quite a bit. I have crossed fingers in hope that I can interlope tons of information within classes correctly enough. So that when I convert the bulk to Ren'Py it will operate correctly.

Thank you for giving me some tangible info to search for!

EDIT: off topic, but, I have been gone all day with the code not changed. I come back home, and my code had been corrected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkF8-vhVM_0 I am very scared...
