[solved] Doubt about "real time"?

[Nanahs]

I'm using this code on my game to show the real time:

Code: Select all

init python:
    import time
    def mytime(st, at):
        return Text(time.strftime('%H:%M'), size=30), 0
image mytimes = DynamicDisplayable(mytime)

I'm also using a messaging system. And I wanted is to show the time the player received the message.

Let's just say that when the person was playing it was 13:53.
If I add in the message "{show image=mytimes}" it will show what time it is the moment you click the message. But as time goes by, the clock will abviously keep changing. "13:53" will become 13:54, 13:55, etc.

Is there a way I can "freeze" the time the person received the message?
Like, if it was 13:53 when I clicked the messsage, it will keep showing "13:53" in the message.

Thank you

You should be able to simply convert the time to a string and store it in a variable, I don't know how your messaging system is coded so I can't give you exact advice but, this is a way to do it:

Code: Select all

time_received = str(time.strftime('%H:%M'))

Thank you!!

I'm using this code, from the first messenger (viewtopic.php?f=51&t=50153)

Code: Select all

# Экран сообщения
screen telegram():
    frame background "messenger/back.png" xysize (700,975) align (0.9,.5):
        frame background None xysize (560, 810) align (0.5,0.58):
            viewport id "vp_msg" mousewheel True  yadjustment yadj:
                vbox spacing 8 xsize 550 xalign 0.4 box_reverse True:
                    for message in m_msg[::-1]:
                        $ who, txt, sound = message
                        $ xgn = 0.0 if who else 1.0
                        if sound:
                            imagebutton auto "messenger/sound_%s.png" xalign xgn action Play("sound", sound)
                        else: 
                            button xalign xgn xmaximum 700 xpadding 20 ypadding 10 background Frame("messenger/box.png", 25, 25):
                                text "%s"%(txt) style "txt_base"
                

        # Стрелка
        imagebutton auto "messenger/arr_%s.png" pos (10, 33) action MainMenu(confirm=True)
        # Ползунок прокрутки
        vbar value YScrollValue("vp_msg") style "bar_vert"

And I was trying to add the time inside the message box:

Code: Select all

    python:    
        msg(" text and time here")

[Nanahs]

I'm trying to do it, but the time keeps progressing
I wanted the time to "freeze". So that if received the message at 9:46, the text will keep showing "9:46" even though real time passes.

time_received = str(time.strftime('%H:%M')) 

How should I define that code? I mean, in a code like this one:

Code: Select all

init python:
    import time
    def mytime(st, at):
        return Text(time.strftime('%H:%M'), size=30), 0
image mytimes = DynamicDisplayable(mytime)

It won't stop giving me error messages.
Sorry, I'm still learning

You need to "attach" the time to the text of the message. I don't understand russian so I can't read the comments, but after some testing I think that what you need to change is the msg() function in messenger.rpy:

Code: Select all

def msg(txt, who=False, sound=False):
    txt += "\n{}".format(str(time.strftime('%H:%M'))) # Add this line before the rest of the function
    store.m_msg.append((who, txt, sound))
    store.yadj.value = store.yadj.range+300
    renpy.restart_interaction()
     if who:
        renpy.play("new_message.mp3", "sound")
    renpy.pause()

This will append a linebreak, and then the current time to the end of the string, the str() is to make sure the text doesn't keep changing as time passes.

Thank you so much! In case I wanted to use this code in a normal text to show what time it is, like:

Code: Select all

label morning3:
    jhon "Goog morning! It's 9:14 now."

How could I use it?

Sorry to make so many questions hah And thank you so much!

[DannX]

You can use a variable, like this:

Code: Select all

label morning3:
    python:
        current_time = time.strftime('%H:%M')
     jhon "Goog morning! It's [current_time] now."

Or interpolate it with the same format function like this:

Code: Select all

label morning3:
    $ jhon("Goog morning! It's {} now.".format(time.strftime('%H:%M')))

That last one is shorter, but harder to read and type.

Thank you! It worked!
The only problem is that if the first message is at 15:13, the time endeed will "freeze". But the other following messages will stay stuck at "15:13" as well. Maybe I did something wrong? But that's ok hah

Just one last thing (sorry, I'm asking too much hah). I was trying to change the letter size, so the time wouldn't be as big as the letters. But it's not working.

Code: Select all

def msg(txt, who=False, sound=False):
    txt += "\n{}".format(str(time.strftime('%H:%M'),size=17))

I tried putting the "size=17" in many different places, but it keeps saying "() takes no keyword arguments renpy".
What should I do?
