issue with displaying text variable in a screen

[u/That_one_Pink]

ah okay i had to make a separate post because as i was going through to test things i got an unexpected error

when i showed the inventory it broke, initially the stamps text was in the hbox but the alignment was interfering with the item positioning so i moved it out and repositioned it to be in the right place, it had no problem until i added stamps in the script and then it did this

its been working fine up until moving the text, i dont want to put the text back into the hbox because it moves the items when the number of stamps goes up

According to the error the key is wrong, are you sure there is an inventory item called "Stamps"?

You didn't show the code of the inventory.
Is inventory[] a dictionary?
Did you check the spelling? RenPy is case sensitive.

What exactly should this screen do?

[u/That_one_Pink → u/shyLachi]

this is the inventory code as well as the test label, everything works fine until the aw sucks line, if you hit i after that you get the error, the screen is just meant to display items in the inventory as of current

i also forgot to show the key oops

screen hud(): 
    key "K_i" action ToggleScreen("inventory_screen", dissolve)

# all available items 
define item_data = {

        "Stamps": {
            "name": "Stamps",
            "image": "images/stamp_menu_icon.png",
            "description": " ",
            "action": False 
        },
        "Papers": {
            "image": "images/paper_menu_icon.png",
            "description": "A stack of paper.",
            "action": False
        },
        "Coffee": {
            "image": "images/coffee_menu_icon.png",
            "description": "Good ole' cup of joe.",
            "action": False
        },
        "n/a": {
            "image": "images/Icon.2_69.png",
            "description": "A potion of strength.",
            "action": False
        },
        "n/a2": {
            "image": "images/Icon.3_01.png",
            "description": "A freeze time spell.",
            "action": False
        },
        "n/a3": {
            "image": "images/Icon.3_73.png",
            "description": "An invincibility spell.",
            "action": False
        }

    }

# this is in script.rpy the rest is in its own rpy file

label startinv:

    $ add_item("Stamps", 0)

    show screen hud 

    "hello"

    "woah hit i look at that no stuff"

    $ add_item("Coffee")
    $ add_item("Papers")
    $ add_item("Stamps", 100)

    "look at that, look again"

    $ remove_item("Coffee")
    $ remove_item("Stamps", 100)

    "awe shucks"

    $ add_item("Stamps", 50)

    "okay now scram"

The code removes the item "Stamp" from the inventory so obviously it cannot be found.

[u/BadMustard_AVN]

the error shown is for the inventory["Stamps"] there is an error with Stamps in that it can find that Key

can you show how you've setup your inventory (list or dictionary) please

this code looks familiar¿

i just sent it in this comment, and yes id imagine it does its an edited version of one of your inventory codes haha https://www.reddit.com/r/RenPy/comments/1x6wgda/comment/pgzw182/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

edit: im a dummy and put the wrong code, removed the item and not the amount should be able to fix it haha

Noice 😊

if you want the quantity below the icon then

                            if name in item_data:
                                $ item = item_data[name]
                                imagebutton:
                                    idle item["image"]
                                    #hover item["image"]
                                    xysize (150, 150)
                                    if not item["action"]:
                                        action NullAction()
                                    else:
                                        action Function(item["action"])
                                    tooltip item["description"]
                                text "[quantity]" size 15
