Real time editing?

[Settle for Pocky]

Hopefully this makes sense. So to make an basic example let's pretend I have character "boy" and three mouths mouth_a, mouth_b, and mouth_c

So let's pretend I'm playing through the game and 50 lines in I see that he has mouth_a instead of mouth_b. Is there a way for me to change this, save, and somehow reload the game without having to leave the game and re going into it?

I have code on how to load up the game in a certain area, but I have to exit out of the game and replace it to a different section to get you started at a new point.

I know that when you get an error screen you're able to fix the code and re-load it without exiting the game. I'm just seeing if there's a way to do that with editing non-error code.

any help is appreciated. Would save me a ton of time

thanks again,
Pat

there isn't any real time editor for renpy as of today maybe in version 8 or 9 or 10 or it might never happen

the only way that I can see it happening is if renpy get it own editor built into it instead of interdependent editors like atom

if renpy get it's own editor i can see it happening

Open game from Launcher
Start playing
Press [Shift] + [R]
Reloads at same place

Go to editor, make a change and save it
Notice the game (still in Shift+R mode) reloads itself in the background

Hope that is what you meant
(sub-note: some changes might require starting from fresh, like some edits using old saves)

Alternatively: [Shift] + [D] then no-shift [D] to open in-game editor

These likely both need config.developer = True

This is what I would suggest as well. I only actually use the reload function though, I've never used the interactive developer.
