Help with label callbacks

[trailsiderice]

Hello,

I'm trying to change the autosave functionality so that it saves at the beginning of each label instead of saving right before each choice.
I thought the best way to do this would be through a label callback function, but it doesn't seem to work.

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def labelCallback(name,abnormal):

        ignored_labels = ["route_menu","splashscreen","main_menu","exit_label","main_menu_screen","save_screen"]

        if not name.startswith("_") and name not in ignored_labels:
            renpy.force_autosave()

    config.label_callback = labelCallback

still it only autosaves right before a choice. What am I doing wrong?

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

    config.label_callback = labelCallback

still it only autosaves right before a choice. What am I doing wrong?

According to the documentation, the correct variable name is config.label_callbacks (plural!) and it also expects a list.

Code: Select all

config.label_callbacks = [labelCallback]

I tried that too, unfortunately that also doesn't work.

I tried that too, unfortunately that also doesn't work.

Put something inside the function to determine if it is called to begin with, like a renpy.notify() statement!

Huh, strangely after trying this, it's suddenly working, even though the only thing I changed was adding the renpy.notify statement. And it continues to work even after removing it.

Not sure what prevented it from working before, maybe it simply needed to recompile or something. In any case, thanks for your help!
