repeat action of 'Key' screen element [solved]

[Vaendryl]

see subject. is this possible? I could probably do something like that by using pygame more closely but I was wondering if there's an easier way to do this that I'm not seeing.

in this case I want to use the WASD keys to scroll a viewport. it works now but you have to tap the button to scroll, which is annoying.

Nothing simpler than managing PyGame event comes to mind...

alright, I'll have to make that then thanks!

Actually there might be, it just never occurred to me to try, Ren'Py seems to have better handling of pygame input through it's own funcs. I just never messed with that

Something along these lines I guess (prolly needs improvement/corrections):

Code: Select all

screen vp():
    viewport:
        id "vp"
        align (0.5, 0.5)
        child_size (1000, 1000)
        xysize (300, 300)
        draggable True
        has vbox xysize (1000, 1000) box_wrap True spacing 50
        for i in xrange(100): # <== This causes an error under my pre-released channel Ren'Py version, I've reported it. You can use normal viewport setup...
            add Solid("#%06x"%renpy.random.randint(0, 0xFFFFFF), xysize=(100, 50))
            
    $ vpx = renpy.get_widget("vp", "vp").xadjustment if renpy.get_widget("vp", "vp") else None
    if vpx:
        key "repeat_K_RIGHT" action Function(vpx.change, vpx.value + vpx.step)
        key "repeat_K_LEFT" action Function(vpx.change, vpx.value - vpx.step)

# The game starts here.
label start:
    call screen vp

that's really interesting thanks again!
