[Solved] Why can't I declare this object using define?

EDIT: Alex was right. The class needs to be inside an init -1 python block like this:

Code: Select all

#THIS FINALLY WORKS... Make sure the class is within a -1 python block?! This makes no sense. What a nightmare. Shoot me now.
define people32 = [
            aPerson("Bob", 34),
            aPerson("Zoe", 53),
        ]

init -1 python:
  
        class aPerson():
        def __init__ (self, str_name, str_age):
            self.s_name = str_name
            self.age = str_age

When defining 'triggerEventTest' try to set init offset greater than 0 (not tested but the issue might be the order of running lines of code).

EDIT: Thanks, you were right. The class needed to be inside an init -10 python block like this:

Code: Select all

#THIS FINALLY WORKS... Make sure the class is within a -10 python block?! This makes no sense. What a nightmare. Shoot me now.
define people32 = [
            aPerson("Bob", 34),
            aPerson("Zoe", 53),
        ]

init -10 python:
  
        class aPerson():
        def __init__ (self, str_name, str_age):
            self.s_name = str_name
            self.age = str_age

I need to find an example of someone declaring objects like this as define.

Here is an example of (very heavily cut) event system:

Code: Select all

init -10 python:
    class Event:
        def __init__(self, day, to_label=None, callback=None):
            self.day = day
            self.to_label = to_label
            self.callback = callback

        def possible(self, day):
            return self.day <= day

        def process(self):
            if self.to_label:
                renpy.call(*self.to_label)

        def finalize(self):
            if self.callback:
                args = self.callback[1:]
                self.callback[0](*args)

    class PendingEvents:
        def __init__(self, *events):
            self.events = []
            self.events.extend(events)

        def possible_events(self):
            return [event for event in self.events if event.possible(current_day)]

        def random_event(self):
            event_list = self.possible_events()
            event = renpy.random.choice(event_list)
            self.events.remove(event)
            return event

define main_events = PendingEvents( Event(1, to_label=("training",)), Event(2, callback=(do_stuff, "Hi")) )

init -10 python:
    def do_stuff(line):
        narrator(line)

default current_day = 1

label training:
    "Train"
    return

label start:
    $ current_event = main_events.random_event()
    $ current_event.process()
    $ current_event.finalize()
    $ current_day = 2
    $ current_event = main_events.random_event()
    $ current_event.process()
    $ current_event.finalize()
    return

Oh, so Alex was right! I had to use init -10 python to get the define to declare.

Man, you're into some black belt level python. Can't wait to start studying what you shared. Thanks!
