A few bar questions

[Ryue]

I'm tring to use a bar in a defined screen:

Code: Select all

screen myscreen((initiativeList):
    hbox:
        spacing 5
             for initiativePosition in initiativeList:
                 frame: 
                     vbox:
                          fixed:
                             add "myimage"
                          bar value initiativePosition.CombatStats['Health']['Current'] range initiativePosition.CombatStats['Health']['Total'] xmaximum 64 thumb None left_bar GreenImage right_bar RedImage

The images are defined here:

Code: Select all

init -11:
    image RedImage = "#FF0000"
    image GreenImage = "#00FF00"

Now I got a few quetisons here:
1.) how can I make the bar as multiline?
2.) I'm getting an error saying name GreenImage is not edfined when I try to run the above code

[SinnyROM]

Try making GreenImage a variable instead of an image; usually the property looks for a string or path.

Code: Select all

init -11:
    $ GreenImage = "#00ff00"

I don't understand what you mean by multiline though. Could you clarify please?

[Ryue]

As example for multiline (non working though):

Code: Select all

bar 
    value initiativePosition.CombatStats['Health']['Current'] 
    range .....

For the variable instead of image tnx that works. Althnough I'm a bit confused there. Why? In the manual it says displayable but a string is not a displayable an image would be. Do you have any idea why?

[Ryue]

One thing though now.
With the Variable working I tried it out:

As both the range and the current are the same value why is red shown at all? Or can it be hidden somehow?

[Alex]

Code: Select all

left_bar GreenImage

in this case GreenImage is a variable - put it in quotes to tell Ren'Py that it is a displayable.

As for red part of bar - try to set the left and the right gutters values to 0.

Yepp that worked tnx.
Then the only thing left is the multiline usage?

[Alex]

What do you mean by multiline?

[Ryue]

Something in this way (does not work though as it is wrong grammatic for the compiler).

Code: Select all

bar 
    value initiativePosition.CombatStats['Health']['Current'] 
    range initiativePosition.CombatStats['Health']['Total'] 
    xmaximum 64 
    thumb None 
    left_bar "GreenImage" 
    right_bar 2RedImage"

So to say not writing it all in one overlong line.

Just put a : behind bar:

Code: Select all

bar:
    value initiativePosition.CombatStats['Health']['Current'] 
    range initiativePosition.CombatStats['Health']['Total'] 
    xmaximum 64 
    thumb None 
    left_bar "GreenImage" 
    right_bar 2RedImage"

i think it works with every screen component?
But some need an additional value before the :, for example:

Code: Select all

hotspot (x, y, width, height):
text "my text":

[Ryue]

That was it thanks. I still don't believe it that I forgot the ":" .drop. tnx again!
