[SOLVED] Add selected choice to History?

[lking22]

What I would like to do is automatically add the selected choice to the history screen. Most of the editing has actually been done in the choice screen. So, I've gotten halfway there, I think.

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):
    style_prefix "choice"
    vbox:
        for i in items:
            textbutton i.caption action [narrator.add_history(kind="adv", who="{b}>>>{/b}", what=i.caption), i.action]

The problem is, this adds ALL choices to the history screen. For example the history screen will show:

Narrator: Would you like to show trigger warnings?
>>> Yes
>>> No

I would like for it to only show the selected choice, not all choices.

If I just put 'i' instead of 'i.caption' then it throws up this error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

That seems to be saying that version of the code is pulling up the one option that the player selects, but it grabs the full code for that selection, not just the caption. So basically I can get halfway to what I want in two different ways, but I can't seem to bring it all together.

I've been considering this, but never gotten around to it.

What I had in mind, was simply to add to each option, some invisible dialogue that automatically advances to the next dialogue block after 0.01 seconds.

The player will never see the text but it should appear in the history just fine.

Yeah, it's possible to do it manually by adding this code after each choice:

Code: Select all

$ narrator.add_history(kind="adv", who=narrator.name, what="YourChoice")
#Note: You can replace narrator.name with the name you want displayed beside the choice.

But I'm making a fairly big game with a lot of choices and I would prefer if I didn't have to remember to do it manually every time.

Try:

Code: Select all

action [Function(narrator.add_history, kind="adv", who="{b}>>>{/b}", what=i.caption), i.action]

Without using the Function() screen action, the add_history would run under prediction and appear for all choices

Oh my goodness, it worked like a charm! Thank you so much!
