Trouble with choices / new endings

[shanewallis123]

I've managed to implement choices but there's a problem, when one plays it will immediately play the other choice once finished with the first choice [unless it's the second / bottom choice in which case it moves on 'naturally]
Also i've been wanting to implement 'end' scenarios, which would end the game early. I've tried using the 'return' for this but it only skips to the first poem, is there a way to make it so one 'return' will continue while another will end the game if you pick the choice associated with it?

The idea is for the player to be presented with the choices and then in the end lead on to the bg / next part but the choices will read one after another [if you pick choice one it will read through that then start playing choice 2...]

I'm also having trouble figuring out how to make an early 'bad end' which would take you back to the main menu, since return in this case takes you to the next poem in the game

After this i want to add a choice where players can refuse to join a club, ending the game early as a 'bad end' of sorts. But the 'return' continues on to the next chapter / poem rather then ending and i'm not sure how to change that without also changing the return that would come later.

Oh, i see!
So, for the first problem, you should use "jump", instead of "call", like this:

Code: Select all

jump ch0_join_no 

If you want to keep the game going, use "jump xxx" instead and "return" when ending the game.
Additionally, you dont need the return after the menu. Always include "jump" or "return" at the place (like menu choice) or end of a label you want to connect to the next or end it. Hence if you want "label ch0_bulli_yes" to have a sudden end, then add return at the end of that label. Dont leave labels without connection to what should happen next.

jump ch0_join_no 

If you want to keep the game going, use "jump xxx" instead and "return" when ending the game.
Additionally, you dont need the return after the menu. Always include "jump" or "return" at the place (like menu choice) or end of a label you want to connect to the next or end it. Hence if you want "label ch0_bulli_yes" to have a sudden end, then add return at the end of that label. Dont leave labels without connection to what should happen next.

Thank you! i'll try swapping it from Return to jump, this is my first time working with Renpy but it seems simple enough i just need to get used to it all i think ~

Thing about the 'return' ending is that in this game return takes you to the next chapter, the next sequence which is a poem minigame. I want to keep that but also want to add it so if you get a 'bad ending' [bullying the girls or just not joining the club] the game straight up ends for you after your choice
