Watch + get_file_line

[bookie]

I've been trying to get this to work but have come up with an error every time. I think the problem is that I don't know what to do with **properties. I've gone through the reference stuff but the termonology goes over my head. ^_^;

I put this code after label start:

Code: Select all

$ renpy.watch (renpy.get_filename_line (), style='default', **properties)

And then what do I do with **properties? I tried stuff like

Code: Select all

   $ renpy.watch (renpy.get_filename_line (), style='default', style.color = (128, 255, 128, 255))

or

Code: Select all

 $ renpy.watch (renpy.get_filename_line (), style='default', color = (128, 255, 128, 255))

Both give me errors.

Since I really want to get /something/ presentable done for IntRenAiMo, I figured I'd swallow my pride and ask another stupid question. Sorry about this but I do much better with examples than I do with explination.

You need to put the first argument of watch into quotes:

Code: Select all

$ renpy.watch ("renpy.get_filename_line ()", style='default', color = (128, 255, 128, 255))

This also shows how you use the color property, xpos and ypos are also popular this time of year.

Humm...not to sound newbish here but, what's the meaning behind that piece of script?

It puts the current filename and line number up in the corner of the screen, useful for debugging purposes.

Ah, I see.
