[Solved] Keeping text loop out of history/rollback

[nature1996]

Hello,

In my game, I have a tutorial that loop until a certain action has been done, but I want it to only appear once in the history and rollback (aka you don't have to back for a year to get to the line before the tutorial). Is that possible, and how would I do that?

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want, but you can deactivate history before the tutorial with this
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/store_va ... r-_history

Then, after the tutorial is finished, manually add the entry as you want with something like this and reactivate history afterwards.

Code: Select all

$ narrator.add_history(kind="adv", who=None, what="whatever")

Or, if you know exactly how and when the user make the proper choice, activate history then without the need to manually add the entry.

I don't know exactly how to deal with the rollback thing, sorry. Maybe using this?

For the history, I ended up using the variable just under it:https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/store_va ... story_list
By doing history.pop() for each statement before the jump, I can remove the double before they happens.

Doesn't work for the rollback though... Still no solution.

Finally, upon reconsideration, I made this out:

Code: Select all

label tutorial_1:

    tutorial "Describe the game mechanic."

    if not test_to_continue:

        $ _history = False

        $ renpy.suspend_rollback(True)

        jump tutorial_1

    $ renpy.suspend_rollback(False)

    $ _history = True
    
    #the rest of the story
