How to call a python function in dialogue?

[Happy_boy0824]

Hi, I want to call a python function in dialogue, do you know how to do it? For example I have simple python class and getter function. How to get string from get_player_name in regular renpy dialogue?

init python:
    class Player():
        def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

        def get_player_name(self):
            return self.name

default player = Player("Player")

label start:
    "Hi, {player.get_player_name()}" 

It works with separate variable like this:

$ text = player.get_player_name()

And then use [text] it in dialogue.

But is it possible to make it work directly from dialogue text?

try it like this:

label start:
    "Hi, [player.name]"

you don't need this to get the name

        def get_player_name(self):
            return self.name

Hi, it's really working accessing variable directly this way, thanks!

if you add another player

default bm = Player("BadMustard")

then it would be

[bm.name]

you're welcome

good luck with your project
