(SOLVED TYSM) I'm coding this multiple choice thing where you can pick whichever route you want and it doesn't really make a difference.

All variables that are part of the game state and need to go in a save file **must** be delared with `default`. If you create them using Python lines they are regarded as constants.

Try like this maybe:
play music "/music/mkc_kitana.mp3" fadein 1.0 fadeout 1.0 loop=True | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |
Okay! I definitely will! Thanks! | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |
Hmmm. I'm getting an error when trying to play it
This is how I wrote it down:
play music "/music/mkc_kitana.mp3" fadein 1.0 fadeout 1.0 loop=True
It says "expected end of line" at the end of the top line of the error page, and a red right arrow between "1.0" and "loop" on the second line of the error page | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |
I'd have sent a picture, but it's not allowed on the subreddit | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |
Yeah, I'm sorry I get the same error now, maybe like this
$ renpy.music.play("/music/mkc_kitana.mp3", channel='music', loop=True, fadeout=1.0, fadein=1.0) | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |
You only need to type loop, you don't need loop=True.
However, if everything else on the music channel is looping properly (looping is the default on the music channel), there's something funky going on. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |
I've personally never used this fadeout like you are here. I've always put the fadeout in specific spots where I want the music to fadeout. I'm wondering if the game is reading the fadeout command earlier than you'd like it to?
Have you tried just taking that part out yet? | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |
I did, it didn't fix anything. And I've used the fade outs for all my other music in the game.
But I'll look into maybe not overdoing it in the future anyway. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |
I think I saw you just put "loop" instead "loop=true" upthread.
Either way, I figured something out. I ended up having to edit the file itself and re-export it in Audacity. That seemed to fix it. So it might've just been the file itself. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |
Yeah, that's what I assumed. Like I said downthread, I think I fixed it by re-exporting the original audio file in Audacity.
It was also the only file that had that issue (there are like 20 songs in my game), which made it even weirder. Idk. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |
Ah, sorry, I missed that. And re-exporting in Audacity was exactly my next suggestion. Glad you fixed it! | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-11-08 |

Unfortunately, using $ renpy.say(None, "You pressed etc etc") returns a UI interact error on the transient layer. I'm not sure if you can use python statements like renpy.say in screens?

The same way you're doing it now. The only difference is that you'd use a `DynamicDisplayable` that updates when it's referenced, instead of a plain `Image` displayable that is being evaluated once and then never again:

Most likely not. Those softwares have barely any data on how Ren'Py works.

AI only knows what it knows. I don't know what language you use for Roblox, but I use it for python quite often with good results. | r/renpy | comment | r/RenPy | 2024-12-08 |
AI isn't very reliable as it consumes and regurgitates media to tell you what you ask of it. There are forums out there for coding that are way more useful.
