Ran into a problem using custom warpers in Ren'Py 8.0.3

#1 Post by Thaw87 » Mon Oct 31, 2022 3:25 pm

I tried to make a custom warper for my ATL code and gave them a clever name.

Code: Select all

    @renpy.atl_warper
    def mywarper(t):
        # tweaning goes brrr
This resulted in a runtime error. After I choose an existing name like linear or easein_cubic the problem was solved.

Code: Select all

    @renpy.atl_warper
    def easein_cubic(t):
        # tweaning goes brrr
Is there a limitation on warper names? My warper is a really specific one so I don't feel like overriding the original ones.
The documentation didn't warn about such a limitation:
New warpers can be defined using the renpy.atl_warper decorator, in a python early block. It should be placed in a file that is parsed before any file that uses the warper.
Any ideas?

If you are adding hide clause to your python block where you initialize it, don't. Hide hides any identifier you defined here.
