[SOLVED] How to get a variable from a python object to a renpy.say() statement

[Chekhov]

I'm trying to test some objects and object functions for use in Ren'Py

This is how a class is created:

Code: Select all

init python:
	class Emotion(object):
        	def __init__(self, name="Emotion_naming_error", start = 0):
            		self.name = name
            		self.value = start

        	def get(self):
            		return self.value

Creation of the object:

Code: Select all

anger = Emotion("anger")

And trying to get the current value in either method:

Code: Select all

"anger = [anger.get]"
$ renpy.say(None, "angersay = [anger.get]")

Both display a "<bound Emotion.get of <store.Emotion> object at 0x03BA2A30>>" (not an error).
I would have expected the value 0.

How do I get a variable from an object to return to renpy.say() ?

May I ask why you are using renpy.say and not just having your character or narrater just say whatever?

Also, in Python (which Renpy is based on), it isn't Pythonic to have getters and setters, just access the variable directly.

I am an inexperienced coder and I wasn't sure if it would make a difference, so I tried either to test it out.

Thanks just using anger.value directly works. Not sure what I was thinking, but that solved it. Thank you!
