Group if conditions with brackets?

[lking22]

Not sure if this is supposed to be obvious, but is it possible to group conditions in an if statement? For an example with pseudo-code, say I wanted a menu option to be available if you were Joan's friend, or if you were Bill's friend but not Kate's friend. Would it work like this:

Code: Select all

menu:
	"Option" if (joan_friend == True) or (bill_friend == True and kate_friend == False):
		# Result of picking this choice

Or is there some other way to write it?

Yes. This will work.

Pet peeve: do not compare boolean variables to True and False. It is useless, tautological and against PEP8 (Python style guide). Your code is identical to:

Code: Select all

menu:
	"Option" if joan_friend or (bill_friend and not kate_friend):
		# Result of picking this choice

Thank you!

Woops, guess I need to go fix... a LOT of code, heh.

You can shortcut the job.

Make a backup first, then use edit > search and replace (or find or similar)
In the to be replaced text, type:
= True
And leave the replaced text blank.

This can potentially screw up other stuff though, so check your game (in full) after doing this
