Jump or call under define ?

[Riky35800]

Hey! I was wondering if its possible to use call or jump under the def

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    def HasName():
        if player == "Player":
            jump invalidname

But I get this error as I run the game

Code: Select all

File "game/screens.rpy", line 403: invalid syntax
            jump invalidname

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.12.4.2187

Hello
I belive it's not possible because "jump" is a language from Ren'py and when you put the python: keyword that's mean you use the python language. I don't know what's the code of your label invalidname, but you must write your function under your "if condition".

Like this?

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    def HasName():
        if player == "Player":
            "Invalid name!"
            renpy.quit()

This was the first thing I've tried, but there is no message comes up even with callscreen.
However the renpy.quit works underneath

..., but there is no message comes up ...

In python blocks of code you ought to use python equivalents of Ren'Py statements - https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/statemen ... lents.html

Code: Select all

label start:

    "Welcome to the game"
    $ player = renpy.input("What's your name ? \n ")
    if player == "Player":
        "Invalid name!"
        $ renpy.quit()
    "Thank you [player]"

    return

Maybe something like this ???
It's not necessary to define a function for that, you can add it below the player input.

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    def HasName():
        if player == "Player":
            renpy.jump ("invalidname")

renpy.jump() is the python equivalent of jump.
Python equivalents are used inside python blocks to emulate renpy statements (well, a bit more intricated than this, but that's the use logic).

renpy.jump() is the python equivalent of jump.

That works well! Thank you so much you are a life saver.
The other solutions sadly didn't work for me. When I wrote some text under def its just not printed it. dunno why

[gas]

The text wasn't printed cause printing text such way is a renpy statement.
You need to use a python equivalent:

Code: Select all

renpy.say("Invalid name!")

What's inside a python block can't execute directly renpy statements. Renpy statements work only when inside a label.

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    # this is a python block, you must use python statemente equivalents

label start:
    # this is a renpy block, you can use normal renpy statements
