Randomizing Outcomes? (Solved)

[Lotus]

I'm not sure how to phrase the title and my situation, sorry! ><

Basically what I have in mind is that there is a menu in the game with a "run away" option; when the player clicks on "run away", what will take place after that will be randomized so that you may not get the same route twice (either the player runs into a bad guy or the player runs into her friend who saves her from the bad guy). I was also wanting to make it so that if the player talked to the friend before this event, they would have a higher chance of getting the route with the friend. I have no idea how to code this, help is very much appreciated C:

Do you mean like this?

Code: Select all

    $ event = renpy.random.choice(['random1', 'random2', 'random3', 'random4', 'random5'])
    menu:
        "go to the left":
                jump left
        "run away":
                $ renpy.jump(event)

label left:
   "text goes here"
label random1:
   "text goes here"

--- you can figure out the rest ---

for a percentage of higher chance to get certain event, I don't know about that.

I think that's sort of what I want, though I still need the code for increasing the chances of getting one over the other. Thank you for that code though c: That does help a little.

Edit: Will this work for what I need? http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/coo ... han_others

I just use:

Code: Select all

num = renpy.random.randint(0,100)
if num <= 25:
#25% chance option#
else:
#75% chance option#

Oh, what Aleema said sounds really easy! ^^

Another thought I had is just to make more labels that lead to the same place? 'random1'-goes to 1 point of the sotry you want and lets say 'random2 and 3' go to a second! You have 1:2 chances now. XD

But yeah- better try Aleema's way. ;'D

I just use:

Code: Select all

num = renpy.random.randint(0,100)
if num <= 25:
#25% chance option#
else:
#75% chance option#

waw, this was great!

thanks for the knowledge, Aleema.

Thanks a bunch for that, Aleema! I still don't know how to do this

I was also wanting to make it so that if the player talked to the friend before this event, they would have a higher chance of getting the route with the friend.

but would that be done with an if code? Like this:

Code: Select all

if friend_meeting:
    num = renpy.random.randint(0,100)
    if num <= 25:
    #25% chance option#
    else:
    #75% chance option#
else:
    num = renpy.random.randint(0,100)
    if num <= 50:
    #50% chance option#
    else:
    #50% chance option#

Also, is anyone else having troubles with apostrophes? I wasn't having any problems yesterday, then I checked my script today and they messed up! D: I tried the backslash trick but it didn't work.Never mind on that, it seems to have fixed itself. I guess it was because I accidentally left out a " at the end of a line. D'oh!

Sorry for double posting, but I just tried the code you suggested for the random outcomes and it gave me an error.

Here's the code I used

Code: Select all

menu:
        "Run.":
            "I ran."
            num = renpy.random.randint(0,100) ##This is line 110
            if num <= 25:
                jump run1
            else:
                jump run2

and here's the error

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


On line 110 of G:\Lauren\Beauty and Beast/game/script.rpy: expected statement.
num = renpy.random.randint(0,100)

You need to put a $ sign in front of it when you're not in python.

Code: Select all

$ num = renpy.random.randint(0,100)

D'oh! Thanks for the fast response Aleema. C:
