[solved] renpy.notify() not working inside called function?

I have something like this (currenly just in testing phase):
functions.rpy:
Code: Select all
init python:
def statschangeNotify(notifyText):
renpy.notify(notifyText)
renpy.pause(5)
And in script.rpy I call that function like this:
Code: Select all
$ statschangeNotify("testmessage")
It pauses as it should, but no notification is shown. Any reason why this doesn't work?
I've also tried just using
in the function, to check and see if it didn't like parsing a variable as text, without making any difference.

Did you really have init.python written with a period rather than space?

Oh, sorry, no, that was me typing it in now (I didn't copy, because there is a bit of redundant comments and stuff) Fixed now. The original problem still exists, of course.

I just tested your code and it seems to work fine, shows the notify screen with textmessage and pauses for 5 seconds (or until I click). So the problem doesn't seem to be in this code. Have you modified your notify screen?Or perhaps are you showing another image or screen above the area where the notify box is supposed to appear? (it's around the upper left corner of the game window).

Seems there was an issue with a modification done tot he notify-screen in screens.rpy. Weirdly enough, that modification worked perfectly well when using renpy.notify() directly from screens.rpy, but not when doing it from within a init python: statement in another rpy-file. Oh well. Quirks and stuff. It works now, at least
