[SOLVED] :!: Help with points/choice system?

[xydrate]

Alright, so my visual novel relies heavily on the points system, I've gotten pretty far without much help and this is the last thing I need to figure out and I can't find any help on the forums about this specific thing, sorry if I missed an how-to on this but I couldn't seem to find it after hours of countless searching.

Alright now to the problem;

How can I get a dialogue option in the menu: to ONLY appear with a specific amount of points? I've tried everything I've tried "if Character_Points >=7" (I'm typing that off the top of my head so that example might not be correct) but I don't know what to do I hate asking but I'm stumped. I only want it to appear with a certain amount of approval points or at least grayed out that would be great too I just have no idea and I'm not sure what to copy and paste of what I have so far so yeah just tell me. I hope I explained this properly, PLEASE HELP.

Code: Select all

        if Character_Points< 6:
            do something
        else:
            do something else

if you are getting any error copy them here to see what's wrong and if you can't make it work bring our code and let people look for errors

What you are looking for is on this page of the documentation:

Do it like this:

Code: Select all

menu:
    "First choice, always there":
        do stuff
    "Second choice" if Character_Points >= 7:
        do stuff

Do it like this:

Code: Select all

menu:
    "First choice, always there":
        do stuff
    "Second choice" if Character_Points >= 7:
        do stuff

I've tried the >=7 thing the option shows up no matter what the points are

@ the top answer:
how do I implement this? I'm kind of confused lol like how do I implement it in the "menu:"
like this is my code

Code: Select all

      menu:
          "\"Please Blixa can you help?\"":
            $ Nick_Points += 1
            $ affection += 1
            play sound "nice1.ogg"
            show nickgood at topright with dissolve
            jump ambush
            
          "\"Screw this.\"":
            $ Nick_Points -= 1
            $ affection -= 1
            play sound "no.wav"
            show nickbad at topright with dissolve
            jump ambush
            
          "\"Let's find another way, Nick he's not prepared.\"": 
            jump ambush
          
           if Nick_Points< 7:
          
          "[[CONVICE NICK TO APOLOGIZE]":
            jump blixahelp

obviously I'm confused on where to put the if statement it doesn't work as I have it now

[HidekiKun]

Code: Select all

            "[[CONVICE NICK TO APOLOGIZE]" if Nick_Points> 7:
            jump blixahelp

I don't know if this is exactly the right answer (since I'm still learning my way around with Ren'Py as well). Have you tried using the variable viewer in the developer menu to check if you had under/over 7 points during the times it still appeared?

[xydrate]

^ Yep I did check and I have a meter in the corner which equals 11
but I made another save with points below 7 and it still shows up

[xydrate]

Code: Select all

            "[[CONVICE NICK TO APOLOGIZE]" if Nick_Points> 7:
            jump blixahelp

HOLY CRAP I JUST TRIED THIS AND IT WORKED I SWEAR I DID THIS SAME CODE BEFORE?????????????? BUT WHATEVER IT WORKED THANK YOU SOSOSOSOSO MUCH

[HidekiKun]

It's how it's done so of course it works
Your problem was probably in the variable itself, you just didn't find it and then corrected it without noticing. I know this "but that's how I was trying it the whole time" thing myself
