renpy.quit questions

[isobellesophia]

Hi,

So in my game, i know about renpy.quit() that it will quits immediately.
I want to when the player reads the very end of a dialogue, i want them not allowing to quit the game.

Like..

Code: Select all

"Lets try getting out of here.."
$ renpy.quit() <---- Pretended that it wont quit the game. Maybe False perhaps?
"Oh no! I cannot quit the game!"

And, if the player once clicked the window X button above, (Finding a way to escape the game.) the following character will say a thing.

I want to do the code with "If" statement. When the player clicks the X window button..

Code: Select all

"Hoho.. looks like there is no escape?"

So when the player has no other way, they need to restart the computer or at least open their task manager instead... (Ctrl F4 is easy for them..) so why not?

So.. any possible code?
(

Thank you.

I"ll be honest with you, this kind of abuse of the player isn't particularly accepted among many individuals here, so you may not get an answer.

Personally, I try to maintain an unbiased opinion on "troll" games or functions, at least until it goes too far, and restricting a players ability to close the game, is definitely past that point. (DDLC was very similarly abusive toward its players, but at least it let you quit)


Just something to consider though, let's assume you do block quitting the game. How do you block ALT + TAB?

I strongly advise you against that kind of technique. It's possible that many players won't find it interesting or funny.
I don't think it makes your game more interesting.

That said, I've given it a try as a theoretical question, and I've managed to do it putting the "load" function inside the special label "quit".
DISCLAIMER: You actually won't be able to quit this game. Are you really interested in trying it?
Behold, "The Never Quitting Story"!:

Code: Select all

define persistent.noquit = False
default _quit_slot = "noquit"

label quit:
    if persistent.noquit:
        $ renpy.load("noquit")
    return

label start:
    centered "MaXiTrOlL PrOdUcTiOnS proudly presents:"
    centered "{b}The Never Quitting Story{/b}"
    centered "by Michael Annoying Ende"
    jump chapter_1

label chapter_1:
    $ persistent.noquit = True
    "Monika" "Hi again!"
    "Monika" "Do you remember me?"
    "Monika" "I love you so much, I will never leave your computer."
    "Monika" "Iloooooveeeeeeeyouuuuuuuuuuu."
    jump chapter_1

For the record, Ren'Py has a way to quit even if the game is trying fairly hard to disable quitting.

If you click the quit button in the window (or type alt-F4), then do it again within half a second, Ren'Py will always quit.
