Need advice on AOE skill [SOLVED]

[Nero]

Hey there so I made game that can currently fit up to 6 enemy players.
My question is how can I make AOE spell that damages all players inside

Code: Select all

$ enemy_members_list = []

without needing to repeat same code over and over like I did here (AOE ATTACK) and below.Second question: is there also a easier way to randomize damage done all across enemies? For example enemy1 got damaged for 78dmg enemy2 took 59dmg etc?

Code: Select all

    $ enemy_members_list = []    
    
    python:
        for i in range ( 1 ):
            enemy_members_list.append(enemy1)
            enemy_members_list.append(enemy2)
            enemy_members_list.append(enemy3)
            enemy_members_list.append(enemy4)
            enemy_members_list.append(enemy5)   
            enemy_members_list.append(enemy6)     
    

    
    menu:    
        "AOE ATTACK":
             $ player_damage = renpy.random.randint(bob.PLAYER_MAX_DAMAGE, bob.PLAYER_MIN_DAMAGE)
             $ enemy1 -= player_damage
             $ enemy2 -= player_damage
             $ enemy3 -= player_damage
             $ enemy4 -= player_damage
             $ enemy5 -= player_damage
             $ enemy6 -= player_damage
             jump PLAYER_TURN_RESET

Untested, but maybe something like:

Code: Select all

    $ enemy_members_list = [enemy1, enemy2, enemy3, enemy4, enemy5, enemy6]

    menu:   
        "AOE ATTACK":
             for enemy in enemy_members_list:
                 $ player_damage = renpy.random.randint(bob.PLAYER_MAX_DAMAGE, bob.PLAYER_MIN_DAMAGE)
                 $ enemy -= player_damage
             jump PLAYER_TURN_RESET

Whether the above works as-is or not, the point is that looping through your enemies list, and redefining player_damage within that loop, solves both of your problems.

Yeah thats what I meant but I got error: expected statement for enemy in enemy_members_list .. Dont know what is wrong in there

Try sticking it in a python block?

Code: Select all

    $ enemy_members_list = [enemy1, enemy2, enemy3, enemy4, enemy5, enemy6]

    menu:   
        "AOE ATTACK":
             python:
                 for enemy in enemy_members_list:
                     player_damage = renpy.random.randint(bob.PLAYER_MAX_DAMAGE, bob.PLAYER_MIN_DAMAGE)
                     enemy -= player_damage
             jump PLAYER_TURN_RESET
