Store new variable within a class?

[namastaii]

I can't seem to figure out the syntax for storing new information inside a variable that's within a class.

I can obviously do this:

Code: Select all

current_var = "hi"
replacement = "hello"

def new_var(x):
	store.x = replacement
	

Code: Select all

textbutton action Function(new_var(current_var))

But what if current_var was within a class?

I've tried variations of Function(new_var(class.current_var)) or including a storing function within the class and tried something like

Code: Select all

	class myclass(element):
        	def __init__(self, current_var):
            	self.current_var = current_var
           	
    		def new_var(x):
        		store.x.current_var = replacement
        		#x.store.current_var = replacement
        		#store.self.x = replacement
        		

just a lot of different combinations. And tried using the function in different ways as well because I really can't find the syntax for this

Code: Select all

textbutton action Function(myclass.new_var(current_var))

Code: Select all

textbutton action Function(new_var(myclass.current_var))

Code: Select all

textbutton action Function(myclass.new_var(myclass.current_var))

I've also tried defining new variables to avoid using so many . between things and I'm just making it worse as I go haha I hope this wasn't confusing and there's probably a really easy solution to this...

Directly:

SetField( store, "var_name", value )

Through a method:

Code: Select all

    def set_store_var( self, var, value ):
        setattr( store, var, value )

    Function( instance.set_store_var, "var_name", value )

You'd probably want to rewrite the setattr method of the class though, to use the store for known attributes. Alternatively, just default the instance and let Ren'Py handle the store itself

Thank you, I'll try these^^
