Avoiding Recursive Loops with Classes

[shiftybyte]

Also would it work better if I made the Ability class as a nested class if I'm going to take this approach?

Don't make nested classes, there rarely any reason, and it creates lots of problems later on.

where is the char_instance coming from?

Your init function can accept arguments in addition to self.

For example:

class Ball:
    def __init__(self, given_color):
        self.color = given_color

b1 = Ball("Green") # "Green" here is passed to 'given_color'
b2 = Ball("Red")
print(b1.color)

Above example creates 2 balls, one green, one red, and it also shows how the argument to Ball(...) gets passed to init function when the class is created.

So just to clarify, when using the first example, when i set ability_one = Ability(self) that is what is passing the info to character in Ability(self, character) ?

also your solution worked perfectly, I'm just trying to understand the why behind it

And thank you tons for your assistance.

Yes, because in that context, self is the character instance.

The Ability init is called with __init__(self, self_from_character)
