I need some displaying a python variable in ren'py navigation screen

[EvilUser]

I have a daily cycle system, made in python but I have problem getting the number of day, day and time of day to display in screen in renpy

 

[Palanto]

Hmm, well do you already have the basic code for your time of day and so on? Maybe show it to us so we can try figure out what you did / how you did it and what you need to do to show it on the screen?

 

[EvilUser]

Yeah, I do... It's working fine, it's just that I don't know how to get Day #, day (mon, tue, wed, etc.) and time of day (morning, noon...) to get them into screen text

When you're doing string replacement, you still need to use quotes around the brackets. The obvious problem is that, there could be another.

text = "[clock.weekday]" size 36 color "#ffffff" font "agencyb.ttf" xpos 20 ypos 50
text = "[clock.day]" size 32 color "#ffffff" font "agencyb.ttf" xpos 120 ypos 90
text = "[clock.time]" size 32 color "#ffffff" font "agencyb.ttf" xpos 250 ypos 70

I literally tried everything I know, that was the last try before I given up and asked here

 

[Epadder]

if you open the console and use, print clock.weekday/clock.day/clock.time it does return a valid string?

hmh ok the problem here is that you're using text in a way I've never seen before

try:

screen ngui:
    text "%s" %clock.weekday() size 36 color "#ffffff" font "agencyb.ttf" xpos 20 ypos 50
    text "%s" %clock.day() size 32 color "#ffffff" font "agencyb.ttf" xpos 120 ypos 90
    text "%s" %clock.time() size 32 color "#ffffff" font "agencyb.ttf" xpos 250 ypos 70

also why is the function:

def time(self):
            return self.time_of_day[0]

always and only returning "Morning"?

No errors on run, but it doesn't show anything

 

[Palanto]

ugh yeah can't show anything because I forgot to add some brackets

it should be like this actually:
text ["%s" %clock.weekday()] size 36 color "#ffffff" font "agencyb.ttf" xpos 20 ypos 50

"object is not callable" All day long

 

[Palanto]

X_x hmmm heck give me a minute I'll try your class and the screen in an empty game

 

[EvilUser]

Haha thank you bro, I owe you... I am 32+ hours straight on PC

 

[Epadder]

The other thing is, where are you calling/showing ngui?
Also just to make sure you can even see the screen period, add some kind of image and center it in the screen.
I'd also recommend reading over

You must be registered to see the links

Especially post #10.

 

[EvilUser]

label start:
"Some text"
call screen ngui
"Some more text"
show eilen happy

e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."

e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"
return

 

[EvilUser]

Tried with backrounds, calling other screens with imagemaps and buttons, everything else is working

 

[Palanto]

Uhm.... remove the -> () <- in the method I gave you and it works....
