An aaction that activates or deactivates auto-forward

[abeplaga]

Hi, I see that there's a value called preferences.afm_enable that activates auto-forward (https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/preferences.html).

I would like to deactivate the auto-forward (if the player has previously activated it) when entering a screen, but I can't get it.

I have tried this with some variations but it gives me error.

Code: Select all

action Preference("afm_enable", "False")

I have set "preferences.afm_enable", I have removed the " " around the False value.... but nothing...

I have seen in old threads that there is a similar action...

Code: Select all

action Preference("auto-forward", "toggle")

but what it does is to change to the opposite value and I would like the value to be changed to False.

Can anyone help me? Thanks!

A good start would be to read documentation on Preference() action and see which preference names and values can be used.

Try:

Code: Select all

$ config.allow_skipping = False

in your script to deactivate skipping and the opposite

Code: Select all

$ config.allow_skipping = True 

to allow it.

Or study the manual, like Ocelot said.


Edit: Forget the above, i copied/pasted the wrong line, haha.

its:
$ preferences.afm_enable True/False of course.
Your action should look like this:

Code: Select all

action ToggleVariable('preferences.afm_enable', True, False)

Edited my post above.

Think this is the one you're looking for:

Code: Select all

Preference("auto-forward", "disable")
