Edgescrolling

#1 Post by Luxee »

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble getting edgescrolling to work. I've been reading this part of the documentation https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#viewport . But I feel like I'm missing something.
I'm trying to make the game's main menu image in to an edgescroll thingy. Here's the code I'm working with

Code: Select all

screen main_menu():

    ## This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    style_prefix "main_menu"
    viewport:
        edgescroll (400, 500, 1.0)
        add randmenui
(randmenui is defined before)

If I run this code, I get to the main menu all fine. Then, as soon as I move my mouse, it gives me "TypeError: 'float' object is not callable"
If I remove the third number from edgescroll, the ", 1.0" it doesn't crash, and works fine. But of course, without the third number, it kind of feels and looks dumb.

Any of you gotten the third element of edgescroll working?

"If present, the third element is a function that adjusts the scrolling speed, based on how close to the pointer is to an edge. The function should take a number between -1.0 and 1.0, and return a number in the same range."

So just make a function that returns the value it's given for a simple speed adjustment.

Code: Select all

init python:
    def speed_scroll(i):
        return i
        
screen main_menu():

    ## This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    style_prefix "main_menu"
    viewport:
        edgescroll (400, 500, speed_scroll)
        add randmenui

Ah. Now that makes a lot of sense. Guess I didn't read it closely enough :P

Thanks for the help bud
