VN Ren'Py One little question, please...

[iOtero]

(I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, if not, I apologize and have a moderator please move it to the right place)

I have seen this used in the code of some games:

style choice_button_text is default:
    properties gui.button_text_properties("choice_button")

screen quick_menu():

And in other cases this:

init -1 style choice_button_text is default:
    properties gui.button_text_properties("choice_button")

init -501 screen quick_menu():

Why this change is made?

Thanks for your help.

Why this change is made?

It isn't made. It's a side effect of the use of unrpyc.py and the presence of an init offset = -1 in the screen.rpy file.

When reverting the code, unrpyc.py replace the global definition init offset = -1 by a leading init -1 for each statement that is intended to follow this offset. It's just a cosmetic change, nothing more.

So, if you remove all those init -xx and recover the offset init nothing happens, right?
Thanks, friend.

Right, it will then works in the exact same way.

Just be sure that the "init -xx" all have the same "xx" value, just in case, but normally it shouldn't happen.
Yet, if it happen, keep the ones that have a different value for "xx", and it will once again works exactly as expected.
