Urgent! Hiding and showing choices

[fantasticGummy]

Hello! I'm a beginner user to ren'py, making a dating sim. I want to release my game today but I just have this one bit to go. I want to do something with choices but I'm not sure how. I want the player to talk to a character about something, and in order to have a new choice shown, the player has to talk to all the other main characters about something first, then go back to that character. I don't understand If and Condition statements very well, so if someone can help explain it to me, I'll be very grateful. Thank you!

    e "You've created a new Ren'Py game."

    e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"
    "Talk to Eileen?"
    menu:
        "Yep.":
            jump yep
        "Nope.":
            jump nope
label yep:
    a"Hello Eileen!"
    e"Hello!"
    return
label nope:
    "You don't want to talk?"
    "Okay.."

    return

hope it helps~

Not likely...

Something along the lines of:

Code: Select all

default flag1 = False
default flag2 = False

label start:
    menu:
        "Talk to NPC1":
            "Hi NPC1"
            $ flag1 = True
            jump start
        "Talk to NPC2":
            "Hi NPC2"
            $ flag2 = True
            jump start
        "Go Bowling!" if flag1 and flag2:
            "The three of you go out to have some fun!"

might help but don't we have like 1000 of these examples...

Duly Noted!~

Hello.

I think xela give idea of what do already, but maybe change bit of something in code? I change code a bit, then will try explain.

Code: Select all

label start:

    $ talk_npc1 = False
    $ talk_npc2 = False

label talk_menu:

    menu:
        "Talk to NPC1":
            "Hi NPC1"
            $ talk_npc1 = True
            jump talk_menu
        "Talk to NPC2":
            "Hi NPC2"
            $ talk_npc2 = True
            jump talk_menu
        "Go Bowling!" if talk_npc1 and talk_npc2:
            "The three of you go out to have some fun!"

So, is start with these:

Code: Select all

label start:

    $ talk_npc1 = False
    $ talk_npc2 = False

Probably know what start label is, as is where game starts. After that, declare variable, is line with dollar sign. Is like marker for game to check something. Variable help check lots of things, like if action been done or not done, or how many points have already.

In this case, you want game to check if you talk to NPC 1 and 2 already.

Code: Select all

label talk_menu:

    menu:
        "Talk to NPC1":
            "Hi NPC1"
            $ talk_npc1 = True
            jump talk_menu
        "Talk to NPC2":
            "Hi NPC2"
            $ talk_npc2 = True
            jump talk_menu
        "Go Bowling!" if talk_npc1 and talk_npc2:
            "The three of you go out to have some fun!"

I put menu under different label now. I do it to be safe with making variable stay True after make variable True with talk to NPC, since I usually declare variable after start label. No want endless loop with no new choice. No sure what happen if declare variable before start label, though.

So, what code do is show menu first to choose if talk with NPC 1 or NPC 2. When decide to talk to NPC, you get talk to NPC and variable become true, then you jump to label for menu so can choose something else. Go bowling appear when both variable are True.

Is helpful? If still confuse, can also try look at other people game and code if can and try copy some things.

Hmm.....
Maybe FonaCall's right!
Maybe that'll solve everyone's problem!
