Adding Text Box opacity Properties to "Reset to Defaults"

Adding Text Box opacity Properties to "Reset to Defaults"
With the help of the forum, I added the Text Box opacity and Settings Reset button to preferences.
Reset button allows initialization such as sound volume and afm_time, etc, but text box opacity cannot be initialize.

Here's my reset script.

Code: Select all

define persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity = 1.0

Code: Select all

label ResetToDefaults:   
    python:
        _preferences.transitions = 2    # All transitions on
        _preferences.text_cps = config.default_text_cps
        _preferences.afm_time = config.default_afm_time
        _preferences.skip_unseen = False
        _preferences.skip_after_choices = False
        _preferences.set_volume('music', 0.5)
        _preferences.set_volume('voice', 0.8)
        _preferences.set_volume('sfx', 0.6)
        _persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity = 1.0

    jump preferences_screen

There were also _preferences.text_cps, _preferences.transitions, etc. on the Renpy page,
but no variables related to text box opacity were found.
I didn't know well, so at the end, "_persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity = 1.0" I've tried it, but there's an error.
I think it would be possible to write a variable related to opacity at the end of the command line above, but what should I write?
I ask for your advice. Thank you.

What do you mean by "text box"? A "text" object as part of a screen? The dialogue window?

Your last line reads "_persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity" instead of "_preferences.", although both make no sense.

When in your game does the opacity of that "text box" change?

I made a bar to control the opacity of the dialogue window in the preference. Opacity of the dialog window changes as I adjust the bar. I click "Reset Settings button", all other items can be reset, but I don't know what to add to reset opacity.

I know that my _persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity = 1.0 is meaningless. I've been testing a lot of things. Obviously, if there is an appropriate instruction in that position, the opacity can be reset.

So as I already asked: How exactly do you change the opacity in your game? Show me the code!

I'm so sorry for the late response.

Oh now I know what your problem is, I didn't realize what you were trying to do.

You accidentally added an underscore in front of "persistent". The persistent object does not have an underscore.

Just write:

Code: Select all

label ResetToDefaults:  
    python:
        _preferences.transitions = 2    # All transitions on
        _preferences.text_cps = config.default_text_cps
        _preferences.afm_time = config.default_afm_time
        _preferences.skip_unseen = False
        _preferences.skip_after_choices = False
        _preferences.set_volume('music', 0.5)
        _preferences.set_volume('voice', 0.8)
        _preferences.set_volume('sfx', 0.6)
        persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity = 1.0

Thank you for your reply.
Following your advice, I used "persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity = 1.0",
and the following error occurred.

What should I do next? I am sorry for continuing question.

[m_from_space]

I don't think that error refers to the code I gave you. When exactly does it happen? Looks like it is about your bar. Did it work before?

Make sure the variable "persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity" is created in the init phase, when it is not known already:

Code: Select all

init python:
    if persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity is None:
        persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity = 1.0

[m_from_space]

By the way, I don't recommend using a label for just changing variables. Labels are used for the flow of the game / story, not for managing stuff.

Write a python function instead:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def resetToDefaults():
        global _preferences, persistent
        _preferences.transitions = 2    # All transitions on
        _preferences.text_cps = config.default_text_cps
        _preferences.afm_time = config.default_afm_time
        _preferences.skip_unseen = False
        _preferences.skip_after_choices = False
        _preferences.set_volume('music', 0.5)
        _preferences.set_volume('voice', 0.8)
        _preferences.set_volume('sfx', 0.6)
        persistent.dialogueBoxOpacity = 1.0
        return

Call the function inside the screen using:

Code: Select all

imagebutton:                                     
    idle "grp/parts/reset_idle.png"

OK. I will try according to your advice, and report results. Thank you.
It may seem trivial, but it's very difficult if I don't know. The "program" is.

As you advised, the opacity can be reset by subtracting the "_". I am so grateful for your help.
Can I ask you questions about other things if you don't mind? I think it will be a great help, so I would like sincerely ask for it.

You don't have to ask if you you can ask questions here. Others might answer, too.
