Setting a Random Variable with Input from another Random Variable

[verysunshine]

I want to have a character's name set with input based on gender, another randomly generated variable. Currently, the "gender" variable sets and the code will run, but the game will not use gender to assign a name.

Code: Select all

    class GENERATOR:
        def genderpickerroll(self):
            genderpick = renpy.random.choice(genderpicker)
            store.gender = genderpick + ""
            
        def namegeneration(self):    
            if gender == "M":    
            
            
                name = renpy.random.choice(male_name_list)
                surname = renpy.random.choice(surname_list)
                store.name = name + " " + surname
                
            if gender == "F":
            
                name = renpy.random.choice(female_name_list)
                surname = renpy.random.choice(surname_list)
                store.name = name + " " + surname
                
            else:
                name = "Error"
                surname = renpy.random.choice(surname_list)
                store.name = babyname + " " + surname

As this isn't too important, I'm going to make a gender-neutral name list to have it draw from in the "else" case.

Why I'm not using if/else for the name choice code, when there are only two options: To test if the code works, for now. I might add other options later.

Why I'm repeating the store.name code: I don't want to break the code. If I could have it only once, that would be nice.

Update: With the gender-neutral names, I have found that it will now read the gender correctly if gender = F. If gender = M, no dice.

Check what happens if gender is "M":

First it checks if it equals to "M". It is True, so it sets name and associated vaiables to male name.
Then it checks if gender is "F". It is False, so execution goes to the associated else block and sets name to Error

You need to make second if into elif.

That would be it. Thank you.
