How to make menu choice disabled?

[Inky Pillow]

Hi,
I want to make one of the choices in a menu to be disabled, so the user is unable to select it, but I still want the choice to appear. This is because the choice hasn't been written because otherwise the wordcount will be too high, but I still want to show the example. (long story, but this is a school assignment).
I've tried using the 'if' statement, but when I do, the choice just disappears all together.
I am using the latest version of renpy 6.99.12.

The action of a button should define its sensitivity...

action If( "sometest > somevar", Jump('working'), None)

I say 'should' as I have not tried it, just read the docs

Oops, tested and the condition is unquoted...

action If( sometest >= somevalue, [Real actions], None)

This does not seem to alter the Hover/Idle though, so appears just the same as using NullAction...
Hopefully someone else knows how to do it without resorting to if: else: bloocks

[Remix]

Ah...

action If( sometest >= somevalue, [Real actions], None) sensitive sometest >= somevalue

Sorry, but I'm pretty terrible at coding and i cant get it to work '-_-.

My code:

Code: Select all

menu:
        "Mannerless Idiot": 
            show mal pout1
            extend " the mannerless idiot."
            $ prince1route += 1
            #disablethisone
        "Clueless Idiot":
            show mal pout2
            extend " the clueless idiot."
            $ prince2route += 1

I tried to do this:

Code: Select all

menu:
        "Mannerless Idiot": 
            action If(prince1route >= 1, jump afterchoosing, None)
            show mal pout1
            extend " the mannerless idiot."
            $ prince1route += 1
            #disable
    		

this:

Code: Select all

menu:
        "Mannerless Idiot":  action If(prince1route = 1, jump afterchoosing, None)
            show mal pout1
            extend " the mannerless idiot."
            $ prince1route += 1
            #disable
        "Clueless Idiot":
            show mal pout2
            extend " the clueless idiot."
            $ prince2route += 1
            

And a couple of more variations, but I havent been able to get it right.
The error I usually get is that theres an expected statement after If.
Thanks again!

Have the menu choice jump back to the menu?
Text directly before it invisibly jumps to a label, and the label is just the menu. The choice you want to disable... just jumps back to the menu! So it looks like you clicked it and it did nothing!
In theory, anyways. Would that work?

That... will work! Thanks!! Great idea

Legit that is 100% how I made disabled menu choices work.
The sad part is how long I banged my head against it before I was like WAIT I CAN JUST MAKE IT LOOP OH MY GOD I AM SO LAME
It's a great fix, though. Basically seamless
