Adding Date to The Screen

[kathaeris]

I'm trying to add a simple date widget to the dialogue screen like below, I have checked other tutorials but they all seemed too complex for what I wanted, does anyone have any idea how to make one like this? :(

this one way of doing it but there are other ways too

I don't know how you setting up your variables

you can do it like this

Code: Select all

text "[date][day][month]"

The simplest thing you can do is create a screen that receives the day of the week, the date and the day. you call the screen and pass it the data you want to show. but if your game needs to control events per day you will have to implement a calendar.

This is an example of what can be done with the screen languages https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html

Code: Select all

screen today(day_week, date, day)

    frame:
        background "gui/myimage.png"
        xalign 0.98
        yalign 0.02
        xysize(450, 100)

        fixed:
            text day_week xalign 0.2 yalign 0.2
            text date  xalign 0.8 yalign 0.2
            text day  xalign 0.5 yalign 0.8

The data that you have to pass to this screen has to be strings.

You can also pass viable to the screen, but the text declarations will have to be modified like this:

Code: Select all

text "[variable]"

You can change the positions check the Position Style Properties section https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_pr ... properties

Just show the screen with:

Code: Select all

show screen today("Monday", "04TH", "Day 01")

and hide the screen with:

Code: Select all

hide screen today
