Multiple endings help? {solved!}

[MioSegami]

So i am currently making my otome game and hoping!!!!! to release it anytime soon well :/ I don't know how to put in multiple endings for each character. I have 4 approachable boys, and all of them have 3 different endings, mind helping?
Here is how I tried it and I don't know if I'm doing it correctly... >.< I'M SUPER SORRY IF THIS QUESTION WAS ASKED A LOT! T^T
here is a snap shot

First of all, if you're using equal-equal (==) then you must get rid of <= and >= (replace them by < and > respectively), or the game will not work as intended.

Second, can you have +6 affection for more than one guy? If so, it all gets much more complicated. And even more complicated if you can have strictly 6 points for more than one of them. And it becomes utterly hard when you have two boys with equal points in the lead.
If you instead have 4 different scenarios for the boys, you don't need to read any further.

If you want to have the right relationship (i.e. with one chosen lover), then you'll have to find out the best candidature, maybe something like this:

Code: Select all

if (max(kind of array of points) == ryohei_points) and (ryohei_points > 6):
    jump ryoheiendinglove
elif (max(kind of array of points) == hitoriki_points) and (hitoriki_points > 6):
    jump hitorikiendinglove
##elif ...you get the drill.

For checking "equal 6, no boys over 6" you can use (maybe, didn't test it):

Code: Select all

elif (max(kind of array of points) == 6 == mochiku_points):
    jump milikeyou

For checking "i was a bitch and didn't get any boy to like me" or "i did a truly brilliant job and maintained good fellowship with all of them without going down to carnal desires", depending on what the goal of your game is, you can use

Code: Select all

elif max(kind of array of points) == shou_points:
    jump friendzone

Previous conditions ensure that it will bother only about values lower than 6.

Only two ifs all the way through - the mom condition, which HAS to go first, and then the first condition which initiates the chain of boys' ending conditions.

If you instead like threesomes with multiple guys and one woman, well, that's probably better to keep away from because you're gonna have a heck ton-a-load of conditions - which will affect the performance on old machines.

You're welcome. If your problem is solved, then it would be nice to add [Solved] to this theme's name as an unspoken rule of convenience.

Ah sorry for the bother again.... :/ but umm, so if I am having at least 2-3 endings for each guy which method is best? The first code you gave me? Or the other second one?

You misunderstood, maybe, it's all one piece of a code, just divided in parts, like it is in provided screenshot.

If you can have several guys' routes AND multiple endings for each one of them AND you're not gonna have preferences (in the screenshot you'll ultimately get one of shou's endings), then you'd have to do as i described. Just to clarify, i provided examples only, so you'd have to copy and paste one check four times and edit the name and jump-to-where name. Then go to "equality" check and so on.
It's possible there's a different and more elegant solution, though.

If you have two boys with equal points in the lead and you do not want to depend to game's order to choose them, then you'll have to decide what to do with them - i.e. write another label, where you ultimately choose one of them. Or one of them dies in a duel, huh.
