Renpy age variable adjustments

[Shadow2007]

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with a script issue I cant seem to find how to do....

I have a need to set the people age according to the players want's working but the issue is adding or subtracting to that....

At the start of my script (game) I need to take away 2 years and 4 years from the inputted variable of what the play puts in.

I have tried things I found that are meant to work but never getting it to work....

I need the corrected ages at line 112 and 116 where I have (...)th, also at line 100 and 102 where its (...) right now.

As you can see my VN is going to rely on the plays inputs very much for the dialog to work correctly.

Thanks if anyone can help with this....

If you define as:
character_data = {
"Character1": {
"age": 27,
}
}
Then you can just call the variable from anywhere as:

$ character_data["Character1"]["age"] += 2 # or -= or whatever you need.

Depends on how you structure your code, but it is as simple as adding that line of code, or adjusting how you store things

How does that look code wise?
is
define as: character_data = ["Character1": ["age": 27,]] right?

I have :
define d = Character("[dg]", color="#8b13d1")
define d_age = Character("[dage]", color="#8b13d1")

which is the main character I need to alter they age setting....

Ah, I didn't see your code.

It should be just $ Zeil.d_age += 2

You modify the parameter of the character object.

Not sure at all that it's what he want.

As I read it, when he say that "at the start of [his] script (game) [he] need to take away 2 years and 4 years from the inputted variable of what the play puts in", he mean something like "blabla [Zeil.d_age - 2] blabla".
Therefore the class need a [icode]d_age2 and d_age4 properties:

init python:
    class Whatever( renpy.python.RevertableObject ):
        [...]
        @property
        def d_age2( self ):
            return self.d_age - 2

        @property
        def d_age4( self ):
            return self.d_age - 4

that he'll be able to directly use with text interpolation.
