(Solved) How to Move a Heritage class in an other file ?

[renardjap]

Hey !
I did a class ResourcesFields in a specific file named ResourcesFields_class.rpy And now I want to create a child class Buildings inheriting from ResourcesFields but I want to place it in an other file (in the same folder).
When I put my child class Buildings in a new file Buildings_class.rpy the game return an error

Code: Select all

## Here we are on a specific file name Buildings_class.rpy
## The ResourcesFields() is in another file name ResourcesFields_class.rpy  in the same folder. The path from the main folder => /class/ResourcesFields_class.rpy

init python:
    class Buildings(ResourcesFields):
            def __init__(self, name, wood_init_cost=0, rock_init_cost=0, iron_init_cost=0, food_init_cost=0, workers = 0):
                ResourcesFields.__init__(self, name, wood_init_cost, rock_init_cost, iron_init_cost, food_init_cost, workers) [code]

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I think I need to use an Import from but I don't have any idea how it works. I tried this:

Code: Select all

init python:
    from resourcesField_class.rpy import ResourcesFields
    class Buildings(ResourcesFields):
            def __init__(self, name, wood_init_cost=0, rock_init_cost=0, iron_init_cost=0, food_init_cost=0, workers = 0):
                ResourcesFields.__init__(self, name, wood_init_cost, rock_init_cost, iron_init_cost, food_init_cost, workers) 

But it doesn't work either...

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Any solutions ?

I think the problem here is renpy reading files in its own order so it gets to Buildings before it gets to ResourceFields. I suggest you add a lower init value to resource fields (e.g. init python -1:) that should solve your problem

I wrote this

Code: Select all

init 1 python:

And finally it's working!
Thanks for your help
