[Solved]how to use the label twice

[rayminator]

ok just need a little help on using the label twice or is it not possible?

Code: Select all

menu:
        nav "selection"
        "Literal translation":
            jump literal <= I know that I have to use the if and else statements but how?
        "Summarize":
            jump summarize

    return

label literal: <= this what i have to use twice

You can reuse labels and in some instances it can be very useful.

In your case, some simple logic should work, but I don't know what you're trying to do so I am not sure how to write it.

i need it to use the label twice in a different route by using the same menu

route1 uses

Code: Select all

label literal:

and then route2 uses it as well

Code: Select all

label literal:

I'm not sure I understand your problem. What's keeping you from jumping to a label from more than one point in the game?
If a label is used in more than one place, you better "call" the label and after you are finished there you can return to where you have been with "return":

Code: Select all

label start:
    "The game begins."
    call other_label
    "We are back."
    "Oops, forgot something."
    call other_label
    "Back again!"
    return
    
label other_label:
    "Taking a detour."
    return

what I want to do is to reuse the menu so i don't have to recreate it that including the labels

instead of doing this


route 1

Code: Select all

menu:
        nav "selection"
        "Literal translation":
            jump literal
        "Summarize":
            jump summarize

    return

label literal: 

a "Hey what's up"

Route 2

Code: Select all

menu:
        nav "selection"
        "Literal translation":
            jump literal2
        "Summarize":
            jump summarize2

    return

label literal2: 

e "How is everything doing"

Code: Select all

menu:
        nav "selection"
        "Literal translation":
            if route == 1:
                jump literal
            elif route == 2:
                jump literal2
        "Summarize":
            if route == 1:
                jump summarize
            elif route == 2:
                jump summarize2

Not much less to write than with two menus.
