[Solved] Point system not working?

[Night130]

I'm trying to make a dating sims where depending on which menu choice you choose will add points to a character, that will affect the ending.
When you pick the same character twice, you will get their ending. But when I play the game, it only goes to the first ending I have writing down.
Here's my code:

Code: Select all

 default aurora_Point = 0
default aladdin_Point = 0
default eric_Point = 0
default cindy_Point = 0
label start: 

Code: Select all

 a "Why don't we do something else? I could show you the garden."
menu:
    "Actually, I don't really want to see.":
        jump no
    "I would love that!":
        $ aurora_Point = +1
        jump yes 

The character name changes, but the python code is the same for the rest

Code: Select all

 menu:
    "Go to the gardens":
        jump garden2
        $ aurora_Point = +2 

Code: Select all

 if aurora_Point == 2:
    jump auroraending 

If I choose random choice and not worry about trying to date a character, I still get the first ending written instead of jumping to the correct ending. I don't get an error or a traceback. If you need more code, let me know

One way of testing this is to output all the variable values before the ending so you can see whether the variables are at the expected value. Then you can deduce whether the ending condition logic is broken, or the value assignment earlier in the game is incorrect.

By the way, I assume that when you have this code:

Code: Select all

$ aurora_Point = +1

You meant to add 1 to aurora? If that's the case, the code you actually want is:

Code: Select all

$ aurora_Point += 1

or

Code: Select all

$ aurora_Point = aurora_Point + 1

Your code is basically assigning positive 1 to aurora_Point each time, not adding 1 to it.

Maybe try switching the order? ("jump" at the very last):

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Go to the gardens":
        $ aurora_Point = +2
        jump garden2

Thank you both! That fixed it! The point value was wrong. Where I put

Code: Select all

  menu:
    "Go to the gardens":
        jump garden2
        $ aurora_Point = +2 

Should have been"

Code: Select all

  menu:
    "Go to the gardens":
        jump garden2
        $ aurora_Point = +1 

So, a +1 instead of a +2

Are you sure that's the correct code? You're still jumping before setting the variable, so it'd never reach the line that sets the variable?

Knowing Ren'py, it might well still work as it probably runs the python parts through prediction

It does look wrong though and does make the code harder to quickly understand and therefore harder to maintain. I'd also suggest changing it so it reads in the order it runs (procedurally)

You mean a 1, not a +1

As the other replies stated:
$ aurora_Point = +1
is exactly the same as
$ aurora_Point = 1

If you wanted aurora_Point to increase by one (e.g. from 1 to 2 or from 7 to 8 ) use:
$ aurora_Point += 1
(note where the + is)
