Hidden Stat Percentage?

[Elysia]

How would I set it if for example there is a range between Apathetic and Emotional so that certain choices would shift the bar percentage wise without actual numbers?

(Please don't shove me in a shark, I'm new to this )

Edit: Is it possible to have different choices show up on the same scene depending on certain traits?

For the bar I have no clue but for the different choices do you mean you want to have it so that if A is apathetic toward the character or the character was apathetic one choice would appear but if A is emotional toward the character or the character emotional a totally different choice would be unlocked and appear to the user?

It might be easier for us to help if you are slightly more specific on the problem, although if I understood well, then you should be able to do that for the bar. You put the numbers in the game, and the bar will show as a bar, the players won't see the numbers you have in the code. (They won't see a percentage either, but they'll see the progression of the bar. Did you want them to see a percentage? I assume not since you mentioned "hidden percentage"?)

As for the apathetic vs. emotional thing, I imagine you could have a variable keeping track of choices to make it add up to the number of apathetic-causing choices or emotional-causing, and then have it be that if the amount of one or the other is above the median number then it goes in that direction, and so on. (Oh God I explained this so horribly. X_x)

So if, say, you have a max of 10, and the player made 6 apathetic-leaning choices and 4 emotional leaning choices, when he gets to that part you have it set so that it will display whatever was the resulting scene for the character being apathetic.

Something like:

Code: Select all

    if apathetic_points >= 5:
        "I don't really care..."

Is that what you meant? ^^; Or did you mean, for it to keep track of two variables, thus displaying something mentioning the two different traits?

I'm so sorry for my confusing reply. ^^; *sleepy + English fail make explanations difficult*

If I'm not wrong, Ren'Py already shows the bar as percentage wise...
For example, if your bar maximum value is 10 points and the player gains 1 point, the bar will shift 10%...
Or I interrupted your question wrongly?

Yes it is quite possible, using if... else statement as Soraminako showed...
