I can't for the life of me get a notification to appear.

[Packmule]

I'm starting to think it's impossible.

Basically as the narrator goes a long and the player is clicking I want a notification to appear, but I can't make it happen. I've done so many combinations of code, but this is where i'm at ... nowhere.

Someone please help this baby.

Code: Select all

label runaroundswing:

            $ menu_flag = True

            "In the narrow passage, you're unable to get away from the guardian's swing, and its fists slam into you and knock you against the wall."

            Notify("You've fallen unconscious")

            "You fall unconscious."

            jump choice1_done

[Milkymalk]

$ renpy.notify("You've fallen unconscious")

I'm not sure if Notify() is supposed to work at all as I can't find any documentation about it.

Thanks! That makes the notification appear!

I found not a single thing telling me that that's how to write it.

I've been trying to make a second style of notify screen, but I don't think ren'py allows that.

So I think I'll just be using a bunch of other screens that mimic notifications. Thank you again!

Notify() is an action used in screens.
renpy.notify() is a python function used in labels (with $) or in python blocks and functions.

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/other.html#renpy.notify

Note that screens and labels are written with two different languages, because they are use for different purposes. For example, in labels we use "show" to show images, and in screens we use "add".

You can also make your own screen for the notifications. And probably it's better, to avoid mixing system notifications (like "screenshot saved") and the notifications that belong to the narrative itself (like "You loose consciousness")
