Using renpy.random.randint - not working?

[OpheliaElle]

I'm very new to using renpy, and I want to be able to use a random randint to move an image across the screen. This is what I have written:

Code: Select all

show red car:
        xalign 1.0 
    label mcrace:
        $ mcrace = renpy.random.randint(1,2)
        if mcrace == 1:
            show red car:
                xalign 1.0
                linear 1.1
        else:
            show red car:
                xalign 1.0 
                linear 1.2

(So if it gets 1, it will move slightly, if it gets 2, it will move a little bit further).
Unfortunately, my image is not moving at all.
I know this is probably a stupid question with a simple solution, please forgive me because I'm still learning!
I appreciate your help, thank you!

renpy.random.randint doesn't refresh instantly.

Try renpy.random.choice instead.

Code: Select all

show red car:
        xalign 1.0

Looks like your car is already at finis line, try to change the position

Code: Select all

show red car:
        xalign 0.0

Thank you so much! I knew there had to be something I was overlooking! It works now!
