Variables advice

[radu32167]

Hi

I'm making a game using ren'py and I wonder if anyone has some advice.I'm a noob I know, and maybe this was answered, but I just can't find it.

I hope I'm expressing myself correctly, and that I'm making myself understood.

Instead if having a linear structure to the code, I'm trying to make something circular" MC wakes up, does something in the morning, something in the afternoon, evening, goes back to sleep and wakes up again".

The problem I'm having is with the introduction of new variables and save games. For example if I want to make a 1 time event, and I declare a variable that controls it , it may be checked before it's defined, in the case of a saved game. When I do an update.

For example:
I define a variable in a separate file

default updatevar1 = False

and I want that variable to control an event

label afternoon:
if updatevar1 == False:
jump event1
else:
jump event2

label event1:
code...
code....
$ updatevar1 = True
jump sleep

In the case of saved games, It always gives me the "var1 not defined" error. The code works great with new games, but it always gives me problems with save games from previous builds.
I hope I'm making myself understood, english is not my first language.

Has anyone had problems like this, is there a place where I can better define my variables so that save games acknowledge them?

Before any labels, add

Code: Select all

default updatevar1 = False

Default is what I meant
