Global variables

[db180]

i would like to ask how to write global variables, and is there any good tutorial links about the defining different types of variables?

Do you mean for use in python blocks or just in the script themselves?

i am sorry that i have not written clearly at the first statement, i would like to know how to use on python blocks

isobellesophia has a good starting point. If you want to know more about using variables with Python read this. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/quicksta ... statements

If you're familiar with creating your own functions in python. You'll want to use a global variable in a function you just put global in front of it. For example;

Code: Select all

init python:
    def myfunc(the_time):
    	global player_name
    	gettings = "Hello " + str(player_name) + "The time is" + str(the_time) + "right now."
    	return greetings

default player_name = 'Nadine'

label start:
    $ game_greets = myfunc(10)
    "[game_greets]"
    return

If you want to use a "init python", it is a good use for any functions and classes, umfortunately, i dont use "init python" alot but its also good (i just copy those out of nowhere.), even "python". Especially variables.

Thank you for the reply, i may be i am a beginner of the programming, i would like to ask about that the reason of returning greetings, i could not find a variable of greeting in the init python function, is that a function of python?

No, it's one I just made up when I wrote the sample function, and returned it so that the game_greets variable I made knew what it would become. If you're brand new to it then I suggest sticking to the Renpy documentation and not worrying about Python script. At least until you got the hang of working with Renpy, because it is different then working simply in Python.
