Ren'Py Help with selected buttons

[Milvidi]

So I'm running in a bit of problem with buttons becoming selected. Here's the code

First, the class:

init python:
    class Quirks(object):
        def __init__ (self, name, cfname, isUnlocked, isActive, isSelected, baseDmg, quirkType):
            self.name = name
            self.cfname = cfname
            self.isUnlocked = isUnlocked
            self.isActive = isActive
            self.isSelected = isSelected
            self.baseDmg = baseDmg
            self.quirkType =  quirkType

label variable:
    python:
        choosenQuirk = set([])
        quirkList = []
        quirkList.append(Quirks("Gravity", "gravity", True, True, False, 10, "physical"))
        quirkList.append(Quirks("Explosion", "explosion", True, True, False, 20, "physical"))
        quirkList.append(Quirks("Frog", "frog", True, True, False, 15, "physical"))
    return

So far so good, but here's the problem:

First, I tried:

frame:
        xsize 1920
        ysize 300
        ypos 780
        background "#cc9e25"
        hbox:
            for q in quirkList:
                if q.isUnlocked:
                    textbutton q.name:
                        action [ToggleVariable(q.isSelected, True, False), SelectedIf(q.isSelected == True), ToggleSetMembership(choosenQuirk, q.cfname)]

However, it got an error:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

So, I tried:

default buttonSelected = False

frame:
        xsize 1920
        ysize 300
        ypos 780
        background "#cc9e25"
        hbox:
            for q in quirkList:
                if q.isUnlocked:
                    textbutton q.name:
                        action [ToggleVariable(buttonSelected, True, False), SelectedIf(buttonSelected == True), ToggleSetMembership(choosenQuirk, q.cfname)]

Well, this works, kinda. It causes all the buttons to be selected, no matter which one I clicked on. What I want is that only the button that I clicked on got selected, the rest stay untouched.

Is there a way to do this? Or I have to define every button manually instead of doing "for q in quirkList"?

I had a similar issue and solved it with using a number (exchange with q in your case):

        action [SetVariable("selectedDoor", 3), SelectedIf(selectedDoor== 3), Jump("dining")]

edit: buttonSelected causes all buttons to be selected because you use it in all buttons, if it's true for one button, it's true for all buttons.

Thank you, if I replace 3 with q, it kinda works, but only in making the individual button become selected. I need them to become unselected if I click on them again.

That said, I've already figured it out. So, solution for anyone needs it.

frame:
        xsize 1920
        ysize 300
        ypos 780
        background "#cc9e25"
        hbox:
            for q in quirkList:
                if q.isUnlocked:
                    textbutton q.name:
                        action ToggleSetMembership(chosenQuirk, q.cfname)
                        selected (q.cfname in chosenQuirk)

No need to SetVariable() or anything, since I use ToggleSetMembership(choosenQuirk, q.cfname), I only need to check if the string cfname is in the set chosenQuirk. If it's in there, selected. If it's not, unselected.

Well, you found a way to make it works, but never figured what was the problem, so :

                        action [ToggleVariable(q.isSelected, True, False), SelectedIf(q.isSelected == True), ToggleSetMembership(choosenQuirk, q.cfname)]

[/code]
However, it got an error:

  File "renpy/common/00action_data.rpy", line 44, in _m1_00action_data__set_field
    fields, _, attr = name.rpartition(".")
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'rpartition'

As said by the documentation regarding

You must be registered to see the links

:

The variable argument must be a string, and can be a simple name like "strength", or one with dots separating the variable from fields, like "hero.strength" or "persistent.show_cutscenes".

Despite the fact that ToggleVariable("q.isSelected") should works, it's

You must be registered to see the links

that you should have used here :

                        action [ToggleField(q, "isSelected"), SelectedIf(q.isSelected == True), ToggleSetMembership(choosenQuirk, q.cfname)]

[/code]

Also note that for both screen action, the True, False part is optional. Those two parameters exist for case wheres the flag isn't an effective boolean. If you let those two blank, Ren'py will use True and False by itself.

Thank you . I've actually tried ToggleField, but didn't think of putting isSelected into the " ", and kept getting errors.

Something to remember next time I run into this and don't have ToggleSetMembership to fall on.
