I'm trying to make a game in python using pygame-ce where you can interact with a character and a book but I'm having trouble as I can't understand why I cannot interact with the character or book more than once. Here is the code for the player interacting with an object. def input(self): keys = pygame.key.get_just_pressed() if keys[pygame.K_z]: if not self.dialogue_tree: for character in self.character_sprites: if check_connections(200, self.player, character): self.player.start_interaction(character) self.create_dialogue(character) for interactable in self.interactable_sprites: if check_connections(100, self.player, interactable): self.player.start_interaction(interactable) self.create_dialogue(interactable) self.player.end_interaction() return def create_dialogue(self, character): self.dialogue_tree = DialogueTree(character, self.player, self.all_sprites, self.fonts['dialogue']) Here is my interactable class: class Interactable(Entity): def __init__(self, pos, frames, groups, facing_direction, z, interactable_data): if frames is None: frames = { 'down': [pygame.Surface((TILE_SIZE, TILE_SIZE))], 'up': [pygame.Surface((TILE_SIZE, TILE_SIZE))], 'left': [pygame.Surface((TILE_SIZE, TILE_SIZE))], 'right': [pygame.Surface((TILE_SIZE, TILE_SIZE))] } for direction in frames: frames[direction][0].fill((0, 0, 0, 0)) super().__init__(pos, frames, groups, facing_direction, z) self.interactable_data = interactable_data self.name = interactable_data.get('name', 'Unknown') def get_dialogue(self): return self.interactable_data['dialogue']['start'] def interact(self, player): dialogue = self.get_dialogue() if self.name == 'book' and not player.inventory['key']: player.inventory['key'] = True dialogue.append("You found a key!") return dialogue Here is my DialogueTree class: class DialogueTree: def __init__(self, target, player, all_sprites, font): self.player = player self.target = target self.font = font self.all_sprites = all_sprites if hasattr(target, 'interact'): self.dialogue = target.interact(player) else: self.dialogue = target.get_dialogue() if not isinstance(self.dialogue, list): self.dialogue = [self.dialogue] self.dialogue_num = len(self.dialogue) self.dialogue_index = 0 self.current_dialogue = DialogueSprite(self.dialogue[self.dialogue_index], self.target, self.all_sprites, self.font) self.cooldown = 1000 self.last_input_time = pygame.time.get_ticks() self.can_advance = False def input(self): now = pygame.time.get_ticks() if now - self.last_input_time > self.cooldown: self.can_advance = True keys = pygame.key.get_pressed() if self.can_advance and keys[pygame.K_z]: self.can_advance = False self.last_input_time = now if self.current_dialogue: self.current_dialogue.kill() self.current_dialogue = None self.dialogue_index += 1 if self.dialogue_index < self.dialogue_num: self.current_dialogue = DialogueSprite( self.dialogue[self.dialogue_index], self.target, self.all_sprites, self.font ) else: self.player.end_interaction() self.dialogue_tree = None def update(self): self.input() Continue reading...
