notify screen

[Iraqian]

hey! i wanted to use notify screen to display certain vars.
for ex:
$ coins = 1000
$ renpy.notify("you've gained [coins] coins")

but the output goes like
"you've gained [coins] coins"
instead of:
"you've gained 1000 coins"

so what i did to fix this problem was changing the text value in the notify screen, and it actually worked:
from:

Code: Select all

screen notify(message):

    zorder 100
    style_prefix "notify"

    frame at notify_appear:
        text [message!tq]

    timer 3.25 action Hide('notify')

to:

Code: Select all

screen notify(message):

    zorder 100
    style_prefix "notify"

    frame at notify_appear:
        text message

    timer 3.25 action Hide('notify')

changed [message!tq] ---> message

it feels like i just plaster patched it so hard... and i actually don't know what [message!tq] stands for.
can i get an explanation and if i am at the right with how i managed to fixed that?

thanks!

The purpose of the conversions flags !tq is described in doc.


P.S.You can eliminate the need to change the standard screen, for example, as follows:

Code: Select all

    $ coins = 1000
    $ renpy.notify("You\'ve gained {} coins".format(coins))

To expand upon IrinaLazareva's answer, since what you're using is a python statement instead of a renpy statement, you need to use python syntax. An easy way to convert a renpy variable substitution to its python equivalent is to swap out the square braces for curly braces and add an "f" to the start of the string.

Code: Select all

$  coins = 10
"You've gained [coins] coins."
$ renpy.notify(f"You've gained {coins} coins.")
