Variables and Replay

[Uy27]

Hello

I am trying to add a scene gallery to my game. Calling the replay seems simple enough but how do you make replay remember some variables?
For example, in my game the player writes their own name (povname = playername) so in a replay every time the player talks it gives the error (povname not defined) and the same with any other variables such as "if variable b is true:" stuff.

How to be able to make scene replays with those variables not removed?

can you post your code that you are using?

are you using:
textbotton?
hotspots?
imagebuttons?

here are some examples textbutton you can do the same for other as well

SetField:

Code: Select all

textbutton _("Cousin Hearts") action [ ShowMenu("test"), SetField(cousin, "lim", cousin.lim+50) ]

SetVariable:

Code: Select all

textbutton _("Rat") action [ ShowMenu("test"), SetVariable("rat_mouse.have", True) ]

The code right now is merely for testing but look like this

Code: Select all

    textbutton "The meaning of life":

        action Replay("gracieMovie1")
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.95

Not sure how to setfield with that and if setfield works with replays (documentations regarding replays don't tell anything about that)

try this if this you want i have tried it and works for me but i did use the replay cause i don't have it so hope it works for you that you want it too

Edit: it only work inside of the game

Code: Select all

textbutton _("testing") action [ Jump("test"), povname.strip() ]

Code: Select all

textbutton "The meaning of life":

        action [ Replay("gracieMovie1"), povname.strip() ]
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.95

    textbutton "The meaning of life":
        action Replay("gracieMovie1", scope={ "povname" : "Slow" })
