Showing a class argument within another argument in a text

[Cazad0ra]

Hi! To explain myself better, I'm trying to show a text with an argument from a class: a description that includes another argument from that same class, in this case the value of damage done by an ability.

This is the class set up and the ability

Code: Select all

class Ability:
        def __init__(self, img, name, desc, adamage):
            self.img = img
            self.name = name
            self.desc = desc
            self.adamage = adamage
            
default slam = Ability("slam", "Slam","Slams an opponent, causing [slam.adamage] damage.", 5000)           
         

And in my screen, I'm calling that description using

Code: Select all

text "[slam.desc]"

It does return the description, but with a literal [slam.adamage] instead of 5000.
Is this something doable? As always, I hope I managed to make sense

Probably the substitution (`[slam.damage]` -> `5000`) is done before the python execution that returns that format, so you will have to format it yourself:

Code: Select all

class Ability(object):
    def __init__(self, img, name, desc, adamage):
        self.img = img
        self.name = name
        self.desc = desc
        self.adamage = adamage

    @property
    def description(self):
        return self.desc.format(**self.__dict__)


slam = Ability("slam", "Slam","Slams an opponent, causing {adamage} damage.", 5000)
slam.description  # 'Slams an opponent, causing 5000 damage.'

And please, use new style classes always (inheriting from object), always. There is no reason not to do so.

The !i flag will make additional interpolate for the interpolated string:

Code: Select all

define earned_points_info = _("[points]{image=points.png} earned points")
g "I'm happy to see you you have [earned_points_info!ti]."

This should be used to substitute the text that has a substitution inside.

I'm afraid both return the same result

[SiegeWizard]

Did you write it like this?

Code: Select all

text "[slam.description]"

And provided the description between curly brackets like shown?

Code: Select all

default slam = Ability("slam", "Slam","Slams an opponent, causing {adamage} damage.", 5000)

Ahh I saw the issue, I had loaded an unmodified ability set ^^"
It works, thanks
