Trying to do a warp to line. Manual says:
Code:
renpy.warp_to_line(warp_spec)
When I type this into a .rpy file I get a mysterious error:
It's because you did two errors, writing the line like
renpy.warp_to_line "script.rpy:100".
The first error is that you used Python code without telling it to Ren'Py:
"
You must be registered to see the links
"
The second error is that you didn't called the function, just addressing it and addressing another value. As shown by the doc, to call a function the syntax is
functionName( arguments ),
with the parenthesis.
Therefore, you should have written
$ renpy.wrap_to_line( "script.rpy:100" )
As for the error itself:
Code:
File "C:\Users\john\Downloads\Ring of Lust [v0.6.1a]\Altered\renpy\exports.py", line 1373, in say
who(what, *args, **kwargs)
TypeError: warp_to_line() got an unexpected keyword argument 'interact'
Due to the wrong syntax (
something quoted_string) Ren'Py understand this as a dialog line (
sayer dialog) and obviously it didn't ended well at all.
Eventually I think I have found something that works (sometimes): In a .rpy file:
I'll not go into the details, but the sometimes is due to the way Ren'Py deal with the code once in memory. For the command to works you must know precisely where you want to end and what is at this line.
Please is there a less messy way to do this?
Surely, but without knowing what "this" is, it will be difficult to answer.
The
renpy.warp_to_line() function is for developers, in order to facilitate their debugging sessions.
Like by example when they want to test a change in a label, but the change happen in the middle of it. Skipping already seen lines wouldn't stop where the change happened (unless the change the dialog line every single time), while passing the line by line would need times lost uselessly. So there's this function, that make them jump directly into the line they want, and therefore directly test the change.
But there's really near to no use outside of this.
