How to read strings from array [SOLVED]

[Mangescom]

Hey there

I have a array of strings

Code: Select all

$notes[]

Strings get filled into that array based on user choices.

Code: Select all

$notes.append("While talking to Person A I found out that XYZ")

No I want to read out all notes:

Code: Select all

label notes:
	foreach note in notes:
		*Read out the note*

I do have some coding background but not with python. I know there is no foreach only a for, but I am stuck. This is probably a beginner question but I couldn't manage to find anything in the cookbook forum (maybe I just don't know what to look for)

Thanks in advance

just

Code: Select all

for note in notes:
    "[note]"

[Mangescom]

Code: Select all

$notes.append("Test")
python:
    for note in notes:
         "[note]"

Doesn't return anything. Any ideas on that?

[Remix]

Code: Select all

default notes = []

init python:
    notes.append("test")

label start:
    for note in notes:
        "[note]"

I am honestly sorry but I can't get this to work. I started a new project to eliminate the rest of the script as error:
Whenever I use "for note in notes" it tells me

Code: Select all

File "game/script.rpy", line 16: expected statement.
    for note in notes:
Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.12.4.2187

When I let it run under init python: it says "name 'notes' is not defined" after programm crashes.

I know how many entries there will be at any given point so I can use "[notes[0]]" to give out a specific entry. however it is just a workaround, not a solution.
My solution for now looks like this:

Code: Select all

	$ notes = ["","","","","",""]
	$ notes[0] = "test"
   	"[notes[0]]"
    	"[notes[1]]"
    	"[notes[2]]"
    	"[notes[3]]"
    	"[notes[4]]"
    	"[notes[5]]"

Code: Select all

define notes = []

init python:
    notes.append("test")

label start:

    python:
        for note in notes:
            renpy.say(None, "[note]")

Thank you both very much, that finally worked.

Just for some more detail, Ren’Py doesn’t have for loops in the main body. You can do for loops on screens, but not in the regular script. Ren’Py does do while loops, however.

So you can use a while loop, or you can put everything in a Python block and use for that way. But if you are in the python block you have to use Python equivalent statements for things like say, show, etc.
