Is it possible lock/unlock replay with variables?

[tcassat]

Hello. In my project I use a gallery of replays in the standard way, ie the scenes are locked until the player sees them at least once. From then on, he can see the replay whenever he wants. For this, I use "locked = none", as in the line below:

Code: Select all

textbutton "First Event" action Replay("event_1",locked=None)

But besides the replays, I also want to put some special scenes in the same gallery. For this, I use locked = True, since I do not want the player to have immediate access to these special scenes:

Code: Select all

textbutton "Special 1" action Replay("special_1",locked=True)

The problem: the replay stays locked forever. How do I place a conditional statement above so that "locked=True" if variable x=0 and "locked=False" if x=1?

Thanks.

Code: Select all

textbutton "Special 1" action Replay("special_1",locked=renpy.seen_label("event_1"))

Or in general, you can use any True/False condition with locked.

Thanks. Just out of curiosity, what would the command line look like with True/False condition with locked?

Any python conditional expression can return True or False, so you basically just want a test that evaluates True only when you want it locked.
On PyTom's example, the function renpy.seen_label("event_1") is a utility that simply returns True or False if a named label has been seen.

Personally (for simplicity) I'd tend to directly use a variable in your inline code that uses True/False (note the capitals and no "" quotes) and is True when lock is active, then just:

textbutton "Special 1" action Replay( "special_1", locked = special_1_locked )

With the usual:
default special_1_locked = True # reading this we can pretty much guess what the variable does

and (at some point in the code - likely in a label)
$ special_1_locked = False # unlocked now

You probably want persistent.special_1_locked in both cases.
