Random Label Problem

[Ashleet]

Good day, everyone.
I have a small problem that I would like to ask for help on.

I am a big fan of tabletop roleplaying, and one f my favourite adventures contains a magical forest where the players end up in a random place after having walked for a day. I'm looking to simulate this in a game I'm making, but I'm not sure how t do it.

I've made separate labels for each "location" the player can reach while wandering in the forest, but I don't fully understand how to make the game randomize which label the player ends up going to. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

*goes to read up on it, like a good wannabe-game-developer*

[Edit] Ok, that was fairly easy. Now, when the player enters a location for the first time, I intend the game to give a detailed explanation of the location to the player, but if they reach the same place twice, they won't need that detailed explanation.

A beautiful field of golden flowers surround a large tree where faeries dance amog the leaves could simply become I'm back at the golden field, and the faeries are still dancing or something.

Are there any good places to read up on that? I've done for research on true/false statements, but I'm kinda stupid, so I don't really understand them

Well, untill you find another solution...

Code: Select all

init:
    $ location_one_seen = False # sets the variable value
    $ location_two_seen = False
    # etc.

label location_one:
    if not location_one_seen: # checks the value
        $ location_one_seen = True # changes the value
        "Detailed explanation"
        "And even more"
    "Ordinary stuff"

^You'll want an 'else' in there, I think.

Code: Select all

init:
    $ location_one_seen = False # sets the variable value
    $ location_two_seen = False
    # etc.

label location_one:
    if not location_one_seen: # checks the value
        $ location_one_seen = True # changes the value
        "Detailed explanation"
        "And even more"
    else
        "Ordinary stuff"

Otherwise, you'll get something like:

This is a beautiful field full of golden flowers and dancing fairies. I'm back at the golden field, and the fairies are still dancing.

Ok, I've gotten this part down as well. Thank you for the help.
