Is it possible to stick two words together?

[TheChatotMaestro]

I remember a function of renpy where it would take two words, like, defined in variables or something, and stick them together to make one word. Say you had a variable that was set to "song" and a variable that was set to "bird", it would put them together and come out with "songbird". I haven't been able to find it in any documentation, and I can't for the life of me remember what on earth it was called (or if it even actually exists), so googling doesn't do me much good. Does anyone know?

Depends what you're using it for.
If you just want a player to name themselves, I guess this could work:

Code: Select all

default song = "player"
default bird = "one"

label start:
    e "Hello, [song][bird]."

I left out the character naming bit

You can do it easily in Python:

Code: Select all

$ new_var = var1 + var2

var1 and var2 need to be strings, of course.

Thank you! Do you think this code would work?

Code: Select all

label checkprofilecalc:
    $ jumpconvo = convo + message
    jump [jumpconvo]

(Message is defined earlier when you use an item, and convo is defined when you go into the character interaction. When you use an item, it shows a screen that jumps to here, and puts the two together to make something like the label 'debuginteractionplaceholderitem' and then jump there, to show the character's proper reaction.)

[Imperf3kt]

Since they need to be strings, I would assume it should be:

Code: Select all

label checkprofilecalc:
    $ jumpconvo = "convo" + "message"
    jump [jumpconvo]

I think you should also be able to use the expression keyword.

So:

Code: Select all

label checkprofilecalc:
    jump expression convo+message
