[Solved] Some global variables problem

[Jetar]

Hello! I've making a point&click minigame for my novel. I'm using slightly updated through inheritance SpriteManager. And I need to get counter on the screen, where I can count sprites left on screen.

I've got that label in game.rpy:

Code: Select all

label minigame:
    $ items = dict(
         item1 = ((995, 1206), (428, 475)),
         item2 = ((1110, 1147), (730, 837)),
         item3 = ((1446, 1614), (684, 820)),
         item4 = ((998, 1065), (566, 588)),
         item5 = ((1568, 1719), (327, 466)),
         item6 = ((921, 957), (463, 571)),)
    )
    $ image_name = "background"
    $ SM = SpriteManager_with_mask(event=events_func)
    $ point_and_click_init(items, image_name)
    scene minigame_background
    call screen SM_screen

And then in another file logic.rpy I've got that python funcs:

Code: Select all

    def point_and_click_init(items, image_name):
        sprites = []
        for item in items:
            idle_image = Image("props/{}_{}-idle.png".format(image_name, item))
            hover_image = Image("props/{}_{}-hover.png".format(image_name, item))
            t = Transform(child=idle_image)
            sprites.append(SM.create(t))
            sprites[-1].type = item
            sprites[-1].idle_image = idle_image
            sprites[-1].hover_image = hover_image
            sprites[-1].maskx = items.get(item)[0]
            sprites[-1].masky = items.get(item)[1]
        global sprites

Code: Select all

    def events_func(event, x, y, at):
        minigame_counter = len(sprites)
        def transform_hover(item):
            t = Transform(child=item.hover_image)
            item.set_child(t)
            SM.redraw(0)

        def pop_item(item):
            sprites.pop(sprites.index(item))
	    store.minigame_counter -= 1
            item.destroy()
            SM.redraw(0)

        if event.type == renpy.pygame_sdl2.MOUSEMOTION:
            for item in sprites:
                if item.maskx[0] < x < item.maskx[1] and item.masky[0] < y < item.masky[1]:
                    transform_hover(item)
                else:
                    t = Transform(child=item.idle_image)
                    item.set_child(t)
                    SM.redraw(0)
        if event.type == renpy.pygame_sdl2.MOUSEBUTTONUP:
            if event.button == 1:
                for item in sprites:
                    if item.maskx[0] < x < item.maskx[1] and item.masky[0] < y < item.masky[1]:
                        pop_item(item)
                    if len(sprites) == 0:
                        print('GOTIT')
                        renpy.jump("needed_label")
        global minigame_counter

I got counter in the game.rpy, but it doesent work:

Code: Select all

screen minigame_counter_screen:
    zorder 100
    hbox:
        spacing 10
        xalign 0.02
        yalign 0.02
        $ S = store.minigame_counter
        text "{color=#000}Items left{/color}"
        text "{color=#000}[S]{/color}"

It is not updated in real time, after pop_item func called, just show me 6 and then 1 at the end of the game. I just can't understand, what am I doing wrong. global sprites working well.

You need to restart interaction to see updated value onscreen. If you able to click through some dialog while your minigame is shown you'll se the changes in variable. Screen actions are use restart interaction internally, so using SetVariable() action will show the new value immediatelly.

Try

Code: Select all

        def pop_item(item):
            sprites.pop(sprites.index(item))
	    store.minigame_counter -= 1
            item.destroy()
            SM.redraw(0)
            renpy.restart_interaction()

Yes, I'm using SetVariable() in Screens, but here I've changed variables in python func, not in Screen. It worked! renpy.restart_interaction() updates variable in the given Screen in real time by restarting that Screen interaction. Thank you!
