remember player choices in planner

[Mii]

i was wondering if there was a way for renpy to remember the choices made in the dating sim engine framework? (the weekly planner part that is) so that the player can either make a choice of what they want to do during the week or just repeat their last chosen activities for the week?

I'm not familiar with the details of that framework, but I imagine you could just store the player's choices in a list, and then read that list if they want to repeat it?

as i am still quite new to ren'py and coding in general is there any example you can give on how to do this?

Hi Mii, dealing with variables is a more a Python thing than a RenPy thing. May I recommend you take the Beginners Python course from the website CodeAcademy? It is very, very good and it will make your life doing complex things in Renpy/Python much easier. If you only want to do basic renpy things like show text and some sprites, you don't need to worry about Python things. But since you want to do more complex things like schedules and day planners, etc, and you don't know how to make a list, you really should do the CodeAcademy course.

Not that lists aren't worth studying, but you don't really have to use lists depending on how you set up your schedule screen. If you use SetVariable as the action, the next time the scheduler is called, the buttons will be selected according to the prior choice. Example:

Code: Select all

label start:
    $ day_act = None

label loop:
    # $ day_act = None ##uncomment this line to have the scheduler 'reset' every loop
    call screen scheduler
    "You chose: [day_act]"
    jump loop

screen scheduler():
    textbutton "1" action SetVariable("day_act", 1)
    textbutton "2" action SetVariable("day_act", 2)

thank you for answering the solution worked perfectly, i should of played with the code some more. i was just afraid of breaking something
