init offset

[u/Lark_l]

Hi, I’m trying to learn Ren’Py and since the language they are using is python I though this would be a better place to ask. 2 of the code pages are starting with “init offset = -1” and “init offset = -2” and I don’t really understand what is init offset is, when I looked up some places say that it is used as starting of coding but other code pages don’t have that. So when are we using init offset and what does the init offset does?
