Function doesn't update Sensitive conditional [Solved]

[terrordoll]

I have a screen that I define like this:

Code: Select all

screen mixing_screen():
    imagebutton idle "mixer_left_idle_image" hover "mixer_left_hover_image" action [SetVariable('mixer_left', helditem), Function(MixAdd)] sensitive mixer_left == "none" xpos 400 ypos 0
    imagebutton idle "mixer_center_idle_image" hover "mixer_center_hover_image" action [SetVariable('mixer_center', helditem), Function(MixAdd)] sensitive mixer_center == "none" xpos 750 ypos 0
    imagebutton idle "mixer_right_idle_image" hover "mixer_right_hover_image" action [SetVariable('mixer_right', helditem), Function(MixAdd)] sensitive mixer_right == "none" xpos 1100 ypos 0
    imagebutton auto "images/mixer_button_on_%s.png" action Return() sensitive mixer_full == True xpos 1200 ypos 700
    imagebutton auto "images/mixer_button_purge_%s.png" action Function(MixPurge) sensitive mixer_empty == False xpos 1200 ypos 850

Each of the three mix buttons fires off a function that should eventually keep track of what was added to the machine. It also toggles the two bools for whether the maching is not empty and when its full (mixer_empty and mixer_full). Right now it's just hardwired to flip the bools while I try to figure out my issue.

Code: Select all

    def MixAdd():
        mixer_full = True
        mixer_empty = False
        renpy.log("mix add fired")

The log seems to fire fine but my "sensitive" conditional isn't recalculating. If I change one of the Imagebuttons to this then the sensitive portion works just fine

Code: Select all

    imagebutton idle "mixer_left_idle_image" hover "mixer_left_hover_image" action [SetVariable('mixer_left', helditem), SetVariable('mixer_full', True)] sensitive mixer_left == "none" xpos 400 ypos 0
    imagebutton auto "images/mixer_button_on_%s.png" action Return() sensitive mixer_full == True xpos 1200 ypos 700

It seems like there is some issue with trying to manipulate the variables in the function that is causing an issue. I found this thread (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=30849) and thought maybe I'd found a solution but no dice.

Any thoughts?

That isn't working because functions are there own space. What you've done there is create a brand new variable called mixer_full and mixer_empty that only exists within that function and given them some values. To access the variables that the rest of the game is using, you need to tell the function that. So change your function like so:

Code: Select all

    def MixAdd():
        global mixer_full
        global mixer_empty
        mixer_full = True
        mixer_empty = False
        renpy.log("mix add fired")

Tried to do this a little cleaner and hit another bump.

Code: Select all

screen mixing_screen():
    imagebutton idle "mixer_left_idle_image" hover "mixer_left_hover_image" action SetVariable('mixture[0]', helditem) sensitive mixture[0] == None xpos 400 ypos 0
    imagebutton idle "mixer_center_idle_image" hover "mixer_center_hover_image" action SetVariable('mixture[1]', helditem) sensitive mixture[1] == None xpos 750 ypos 0
    imagebutton idle "mixer_right_idle_image" hover "mixer_right_hover_image" action SetVariable('mixture[2]', helditem) sensitive mixture[2] == None xpos 1100 ypos 0
    imagebutton auto "images/mixer_button_on_%s.png" action Return() sensitive None in mixture == False xpos 1200 ypos 700
    imagebutton auto "images/mixer_button_purge_%s.png" action Function(MixPurge) sensitive mixture == False xpos 1200 ypos 850

SetVariable doesn't want to play well with my array. Trying SetField now but I'm not too hopeful....

Haha, so it was a scope issue the whole time? Geez. Thanks again Trooper, you're the best!
