[Solved] Context sensitive choices?

[pod7]

First of all, sorry if that's not the right term for what I'm asking for. I've poured over the old wiki and looked through the forums and couldn't find the answer I was looking for (though I did try various things) so now I'm here.

Basically what I want to do is to make a menu choice pop up in a menu but ONLY if the player chose specific answers in previous questions. So like:

"Do you like pizza?":
-"Yes"
-"No"
-if all the player has chosen to eat by this point is Pizza "It's the only thing I eat actually"

I tried flagging each relevant choice as an if statement and then chaining them back to back, and that didn't work, and then I tried the point system, but that didn't work either (kept getting 'expected menuitem' but I have everything indented the way it should be) so now I'm stumped.

Something like:

Code: Select all

"Do you like pizza?"
menu:
    'yes':
        pass
    'no':
        pass
    "It's the only thing I eat actually" if likes_pizza > 5:
        pass

First off, don't read the old wiki. It is very out of date. Look at conditional statements for menus, which is documented in the current documentation here:
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/menus.html

Secondly, there are alway many roads to Rome. So there is more that one way to do what you want. You could do it how ocelot did it you can do it like this:

Code: Select all

default  only_pizza = True

label start:
    menu:
        "What will you eat?"
        "Salad":
            $only_pizza = False
            "The salad is tasty!"
        "Pizza":
            "Yummy! Pizza!"

    "Game continues..."

    menu:
        "Do you like pizza?"
        "Yes.":
            "Me too!"
        "No.":
            "Pizza is the worst!"
        "It's the only thing I eat actually" if only_pizza:
            "I see, then you win the secret prize!"

@trooper6 Thanks, that worked perfectly! Sorry it took so long to reply, had a lot of indenting to do! I feel like I learn something new every day making this VN, it's the most fun I've had in a long time, so thanks for facilitating that
