[solved] differences between various types of characters

#1 Post by Moshibit »

Hi. My question is what is the difference between using:

- ADVCharacter("Eileen"), ADVSpeaker("Eileen") and Character("Eileen", kind=adv)
- DynamicCharacter("player_name"), Character("player_name", dynamic=True), Character("[player_name]", dynamic=True), Character("[player_name]"),
- NVLCharacter("Eileen"), NVLSpeaker("Eileen") and Character("Eileen", kind=nvl)

Basically just ignore anything other than the last of each category (i.e., using Character() ) -- there can be internal differences, but ren'py will do the work of figuring it out for you, and trying to manipulate such things directly is likelier to lead to an error.
