Flag Help

[Mikomi]

Hello, I'm kinda new to Ren'Py, and was wondering how I would make flags that would react to certain choices. So far I have 4 choices, and I'd like to be able to make flags for each separate choice. Would I just call it flag1 if I wanted to make it about choice1?

Code: Select all

$ flag = value

I suggest naming "flag" to be something meaningful. Also remember that flags are just variables, and can have values other than True or False. Here's some sample code:

Code: Select all

menu: 
    "You choose a banana.":
        "That banana looks quite nicely yellow and ripe. Delicious!"
        $ fruit_choice = 'banana'

    "You choose an apple.":
        "That apple turned out to be crisp and scrumptious."
        $ fruit_choice = 'apple'

    "You choose no fruit.":
        "You aren't hungry anyways."
        $ fruit_choice = None

if fruit_choice == 'banana': 
   "You drop your peel on the floor. And then slip on it in a moment."
else if fruit_choice == 'apple':
   "You toss your core on the floor. And then it rolls under your foot and trips you."
else:
   "No fruit chosen, no mess to tidy up! You walk down the hallway without incident."

Hope this helps.

I think it does- So all I have to do is insert the small line $ flag == value somewhere and then I can enter in different variables for the flags? Also, is there anywhere specific I should put that line?

Thank you for your help!

= for assignment (setting a variable to something)
== for comparison (checking a variable is equal to something

Code: Select all

$flag = value

Code: Select all

if flag == True:
  "the flag is set"

I understand they're two different things, but I don't understand what they mean.
