Different Text speed for each characters and how to retrieve preference("text speed") value ?

Yes, there's a few things missing from the index, but overall it does have most things.

And since I'm at my PC right now, with Ren'Py open, here's some additional code that may help.

I can explain further what this is intended to do and how it works, but you seem to have some basic understanding or higher of programming, so you should be able to understand it I assume. If not, just say and I'll go over it for you.

Thank you ! and yes i understand the code you gave me, i'm a former hardware programmer now retired, more used to lower level languages but gotta evolve :p
Your lines helped me figure a lot of things about renpy actually, only the tooltip thing is still a mystery, it seems to have no effect, i'll study it more today ^^

Have a nice day !

Ah, I forgot to remove the tooltips.
To use a tooltip, you just need to add $tooltip = GetTooltip() to any screen it's used in, and possibly style where it is placed.

The documentation has a simple example you could use.

The thing to understand is that the tooltip property on a ui element just declares a string; it doesn't *do* anything with it. To actually display the tooltip you have to create a text displayable somewhere and set its value to GetTooltip() like Imperf3kt says.

Code: Select all

    python:
        txtspd = _preferences.text_cps
        afmtm = _preferences.afm_time

Just to add for the record, `preferences` and `_preferences` are aliases to the same object. By python idiom, the one with the underscore prefix is meant to be treated as private, so if you aren't PyTom it's preferred to use plain `preferences`. (In theory future Ren'Py could add getter or setter functions or something that would make them not identical.)

Thank you for this. I have made the necessary changes, (remove the _)
I'm not even sure where I pulled that variable from in the first place since it's not mentioned anywhere in the documentation and only one or two places on the internet, I think I took it from some common file.
