Lemma Soft Forums

I have searched for hours and tried different approaches but nothing would give me what I need.

In order to have a logbook of all questions and answers in an educational game I need the choices the user makes to be added to _history_list.
Now, the history is a list which holds HistoryEntry objects. Unfortunately I don't know how to create such an object or add/append it to the list.
It's possible to add a line/list element to _history_list, but it will not follow history functionality.
I experimented with building my own list, which means doubling all of the text not good.

Please, can anyone help me to append choices to the _history_list? Please!

Judging from this documentation page: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/history.html
you need to do something like:

Thank you for your answer, it's what I had tried already.

It says "HistoryEntry not defined"

It seems I am not able to create a new instance of a HistoryEntry() ?

Oh. your reply was edited while I was answering...

(The code needs to be in a python block or have $ in front of each line)
Same problem:

If it does not work, try following:
$ narrator.add_history(kind="adv", who=narrator.name, what="choice1")

That's not throwing an error so far!!
Thank you I will test it.

Do you have any insight why it's working with a character / why it needs a character?

Thank you very much for your help!!

At first I looked how game adds new entries in history. For some reason same way didn't work for you, so I just suggested to call part of character code responsible for adding new entries directly. It worked. Something strange here, bu I cannot investigate further right now.

it works for my game, thank you so much, you have spared me lots and lots of copied lines!
