Handling Displayables That Are No Longer Needed In The Scene

#1 Post by HyDrone »

Hi. I'm working on a comic, so most of my displayables are panels that scroll into view, and then scroll out. These displayables aren't used multiple times, except when the reader presses 'back'. Is there an optimization technique I should be doing to remove assets when they are no longer in view, or does Ren'Py take care of that sort of thing automatically? I figured it would be to use hide, but the documentation says hide is rarely necessary.

I found this thread informative, but I'm still asking in case there's more to know for my situation:
