Skip function tends to stall

#1 Post by cracklings » Fri Feb 17, 2012 4:19 am

I have been running the game and for some reason, the skip function tends to stall. It would work then it would stop in the middle of running then it would not work anymore no matter how many times I would click on the Skip button.

What could be causing this and how I can resolve this.

* This also happens when I play other games produced using renpy.

Skip function only skips paths that you already read. If it stops skipping a new path, I think that's how it's intended to work. Or maybe something in the code is making Ren'Py think it's a new path?

Yeah, that's how the skip function works, and if you edit you script (so much as adding a missing piece of punctuation) Renpy reads this as new text and will stop on it while skipping, even if you've already played through that portion.
