How do I get outcome of function in screen?[solved]

[Love&Peace]

Hi. I have a trouble with using function.

Here is my sample code

Code: Select all

init python:
    result = str()
    def someFunction():
        if user_action == "o":
            result = "correct"
        elif user_action == "x":
            result = "wrong"
        return result

screen someScreen:
    textbutton _("button"):
        action [someFunction(), Show("dashboard")]

screen dashboard:
    text result

But when I click button, Renpy shows me an error message

Code: Select all

TypeError: 'unicode' object is not callable

Please help me.

Try using renpy.curry:

Code: Select all

init python:
    result = str()
    def someFunction():
        if user_action == "o":
            result = "correct"
        elif user_action == "x":
            result = "wrong"
        return result
    someFunctionCurried = renpy.curry(someFunction)

screen someScreen:
    textbutton _("button"):
        action [someFunctionCurried(), Show("dashboard")]

screen dashboard:
    text result

If you want to use a function inside of a screen or screen element, you can't just put it in there like you are doing, you have to use the Function screen action: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_ac ... l#Function

That said...there are bunch of things about your function itself that won't work...but, I assume what you've written isn't the real function, right?

No, it isn't.

Just sample.

I've just removed return line, and my function worked...

Code: Select all

init python:
    result = str()
    def someFunction():
        if user_action == "o":
            result = "correct"
        elif user_action == "x":
            result = "wrong"
        return result

screen someScreen:
    textbutton _("button"):
        action [someFunction(), Show("dashboard")]

I think the correct explanation of your error would be:
your action executes function someFunction(), the function returns "correct" or "wrong"
which results in:

Code: Select all

action ["correct", Show("dashboard")]

the things in the bracket are "callables"
"correct" is a string/word, unicode

something like Show() is a valid "callable"
something like a string "correct" is not a valid "callable" for action
hence your code results in

Code: Select all

action ["correct", Show("dashboard")]

and throws an error like
TypeError: 'unicode' object is not callable
which means: the string "correct" is not a valid attribute for "action"

when you remove return from your function, it doesn't return anything, so I think you end up with

Code: Select all

action [Show("dashboard")]

hence, you get no errors

I noticed I totally made mistake while dealing with data, variables.

So, I'm now trying to rebuild algorithm first

Thanks for your reply!
