• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[quaint nebula]

I'm sorry

[minor stag]

Are you there?

[quaint nebula]

Yes

[minor stag]

Can you paste a link to the code?

The problem sounded like you were calling a callback function instead of passing it, but I need to see the code.

[quaint nebula]

Ok I'm trying to paste it

I think I pasted it

Do you see it

[minor stag]

You need to paste the URL here.

[quaint nebula]

Oooh

Ley me try that again

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/KBNQ

This url?

[minor stag]

Yep

And what exactly was the problem again? Your original message is gone

 player.update_status()
 if player.update_status():

This is surely wrong.

You're calling update_status twice.

Ok so I'm trying to make a python adventure game. I made a rooms class and added events as one of the attributes of the rooms and set it to None. I made a function for a room event but it calls the event immediately the game is run and I only want the event to print when the player enters the room

[quaint nebula]

Ok ill fix that

[minor stag]

 Rooms("You're at the backyard", 7, None, 4, None, pool_incident())

This is the problem.

[quaint nebula]

Please can you explain?

[minor stag]

pool_incident() has a () at the end. So you're calling the function there.

[quaint nebula]

Ohk

[minor stag]

If you want to pass it as an argument, you need to omit the () so it isn't called

Then, it's called later when you do .event()

(Note the ())

[quaint nebula]

So if I remove it, it will run normally

[minor stag]

If you remove the () from pool_incident(), it will pass the function as an argument like any other object.

If you have the (), it gets called right away, and the return value of pool_incident (None) is passed to Room instead once pool_incident returns.

[quaint nebula]

Ok. I just tested it. It works now.

God bless. I've been on this for hours 😭🙏

[minor stag]

You're welcome.
