Dealing with Multiple (&&) Statements

#1 Post by TennisHero »

I'm writing this scene in my story where the main character has to remember a restaurant order and then input the correct commands. There is a 4x4 grid of the options listed, and all four of these must be correct in order to progress. So for example, if the order was "Steak bowl with white rice", all four of these variables would have to match up.

Code: Select all

protein = "steak" 
starch = "white"
entree = "bowl"
topping = "none"


The game crashes when it check the variables in label food. What do I need to change so that it works the way I want it to?

Code: Select all

screen order:
    
    tag menu
    modal True

    default protein = None
    default starch  = None
    default entree  = None
    default topping = None

    frame:
        style_group "schedule"       
        xalign .5
        yalign .40
       
        #This controls vertical spacing
        has vbox spacing 20

        label "Menu"

        grid 4 5:
            transpose True
           
            label "Protein"
            textbutton "Steak" action SetScreenVariable("protein", "steak")
            textbutton "Chicken" action SetScreenVariable("protein", "chicken")
            textbutton "BBQ Pork" action SetScreenVariable("protein", "pork")
            textbutton "Tofu" action SetScreenVariable("protein", "tofu")
           
            label "Rice/Beans"
            textbutton "White Rice" action SetScreenVariable("starch", "white")
            textbutton "Brown Rice" action SetScreenVariable("starch", "brown")
            textbutton "Black Beans" action SetScreenVariable("starch", "black")
            textbutton "Pinto Beans" action SetScreenVariable("starch", "pinto")
           
            label "Entree"
            textbutton "Bowl" action SetScreenVariable("entree", "bowl")
            textbutton "Wrap" action SetScreenVariable("entree", "wrap")
            textbutton "Taco" action SetScreenVariable("entree", "taco")
            textbutton "Salad" action SetScreenVariable("entree", "salad")
           
            label "Topping"
            textbutton "Sour Cream" action SetScreenVariable("topping", "sourcream")
            textbutton "Chili" action SetScreenVariable("topping", "chili")
            textbutton "Guacamole" action SetScreenVariable("topping", "guacamole")
            textbutton "None" action SetScreenVariable("topping", "none")

        hbox:
            xalign 0.5
            textbutton "Done" action [Hide("menu2"), Jump("food")]
            textbutton "Cancel" action Hide("menu")   
 

init python:
    style.schedule_button.xminimum = 180
    style.schedule_label.xalign = .5
    
    
label food:    
    #Check if all four variables match the correct order

    if (protein = "tofu" and starch = "brown" and entree = "bowl" and topping = "guacamole"):
        "Good job!"

    if (protein = "chicken" and starch = "pinto" and entree = "wrap" and topping = "none"):
        "Good job!"
 
    else:
        "That doesn't sound right."

You're casting, not comparing:

Code: Select all

  if (protein = "tofu" and starch = "brown" and entree = "bowl" and topping = "guacamole"):
What you're doing here is setting protein to tofu, setting starch to brown, and so forth. If you want to compare, use '=='

Code: Select all

  if (protein == "tofu" and starch == "brown" and entree == "bowl" and topping == "guacamole"):
Side note: what I've noticed in Renpy is that it actually throws an error in this case. In my experience, C++ and Java just evaluate the statement after it casts it, and it usually evaluates to true. It's actually handy to be given the error message.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Also, if it causes an error afterwards, I think you have to define:

Code: Select all

    default protein = None
    default starch  = None
    default entree  = None
    default topping = None
outside of the screen. But that is only if it does cause an error.

I've made the changes and it helped solve my error problem. But now when I input the right command, it's telling me that it's incorrect.

In this case, "tofu, brown rice, bowl, guacamole" reads "That doesn't sound right."

Code: Select all

label food:    
    if (protein == "tofu" and starch == "brown" and entree == "bowl" and topping == "guacamole"):
        "Good job!"
                        
    else:
        "That doesn't sound right."
