Drag and Drop Screen not reloading[Solved]

[l1997]

I have made a screen with a drag and drop component which takes dynamic data.

Code: Select all

screen drag_drop_screen():
    # A map as background.
    add "bgmarket"
    python:
        for i in range(0, len(inputs)):
            if not (BigPuzzle.get_child_by_name("name%s"%inputs[templist[i]][1]) or (inputs[templist[i]][1] in donelist)):
                print(inputs[templist[i]][1])
                print(donelist)
                print(templist)
                BigPuzzle.add(Drag(d=Text("[inputs[%d][0]]"%templist[i], style="optioncolor"),drag_name="name%s"%inputs[templist[i]][1]))
            temp2 = BigPuzzle.get_child_by_name("name%s"%inputs[templist[i]][1])
            if(temp2):
                temp2.snap(100,50+70*i)
        if not (BigPuzzle.get_child_by_name("dropbox")):
            BigPuzzle.add(Drag(d=im.Scale("postbox.png",200,400),drag_name="dropbox",draggable=False,dropped=item_dropped))
        temp=BigPuzzle.get_child_by_name("dropbox")
        temp.snap(900,300)
    add BigPuzzle

And I call the same screen from different levels with different data:

Code: Select all

$inputs = [['Val1',0],['Val2',1],['Val3',2],['Val4',3],['Val5',4]] //Different values for different levels
    python:
        donelist=[]
        templist=[]
        inlist=[]
        for i in range(0, len(inputs)): //The following loops are for making a random list from given list
            inlist.append(i)
        for i in range(0, len(inputs)):
            mychoice = renpy.random.choice(inlist)
            templist.append(mychoice)
            inlist.remove(mychoice)
    call screen drag_drop_screen()
    stop music
    "Completed Remittance Level Easy"

It works fine when I first load the screen. But if I quit to main menu from within the screen, then loading the screen from some other level makes the screen load with the values of the earlier inputs. Reloading the game gets the correct inputs. How can I make the screen loading get the correct values for drag items?

init python block:

Code: Select all

init python:
	inputs=[]
    	templist=[]
    	donelist=[]
    	BigPuzzle = DragGroup()

I would suggest moving all the randomizing logic inside the screen and pass in the inputs as a parameter...

With that part of code inside the screen, it should run at each call/show and not rely on other external globalized variables.

Additionally, you could dispense with the inlist/templist and shuffle a range (if I read your code right)

Pseudo code:

Code: Select all

screen drag_drop_screen( inputs = [] ):
    # input indices as a shuffled sample
    default shuffled_idxs = renpy.python.random.Random().sample( range( len(inputs) ), len(inputs) )
    text "[shuffled_idxs]"

For rollback/save remembering the shuffle, try renpy.python.rng.sample(range( len(inputs) ), len(inputs) )

In my drop logic, I need to remove the items if dropped in the correct order. Wouldn't this method reload all the drag items which includes the ones removed?

I solved it. Anyways, thanks for the help. I solved it by simply redeclaring the draggroup again in the main code before calling the screen. This ensured that everytime the screen was called, the draggroup was empty and refilled with my dynamic text.

Code: Select all

$BigPuzzle=DragGroup()
call screen drag_drop_screen()
