ScreenVariableValue not working SOLVED

[PKLucky]

Hey guys, I'm trying to use ScreenVariableValue for sliders in my game, but the sliders won't move when I use that. I checked the code for the Ren'Py tutorial and all the sliders there work fine with ScreenVariableValue, so I'm not sure what I'm missing in my code to get it to work.
Here's my code:

Code: Select all

bar value ScreenVariableValue("study_pt", 15) style "slider"

How did you define your variable in screen?

[PKLucky]

I had it defined in script.rpy like this:

Code: Select all

default study_pt = 0

Do I need to put this in screens.rpy as well?

You are using for adjusting screen variable, as implied by the name. It will not do anything for common variables. You probably want VariableValue instead.

Ok got it. Thanks!
