[solved!!!]Having trouble understanding how to use multiple conditions

[skyeworks]

So I've been trying to put a condition statement. And what happens is that the game would only see the first if and not the second one. I don't know what's I'm doing wrong and the documentation was not very easy to understand.

Code: Select all

    scene lexp_up
    if AL == 100:
        play sound "jivatma07__level-up-3note2.mp3"
        "Level 2"
        $ AL = 0 
        $ Lvl2 = True
        jump pub
        
    elif Lvl2 == "True" and AL == 100:
        play sound "jivatma07__level-up-3note2.mp3"
        "Level 3!"
        $ AL = 0 
        $ Lvl3 = True
        jump pub
  
   else: 
  	jump pub

If AL is 100, you never reach the second evaluation because the first condition block runs. You need to put the most restrictive condition first.

So remember that the computer is going to go in order through that conditional list and do the first one that is relevant and then stop.

So let's say AL == 100. What happens?
The computer looks at the first conditional and asks, is AL == 100? The answer is yes, so it does that first block. It plays the sound, says "Level 2," AL goe to 0 and Lvl2 becomes Then, then we jump to pub.

So...now we get another 100 AL and check again. What happens?
The computer looks at the first conditional and asks, is AL==100? The answer is yes, so it does that first block. It plays the sound, says "Level 2," AL goe to 0 and Lvl2 becomes Then, then we jump to pub.

We are never going to get to the second conditional because the first conditional is always true.

So you have to rewrite the whole conditional chain.

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

default level = 1

label levelup(): 
    if AL==100:
        play sound "jivatma07__level-up-3note2.mp3"
        $AL=0
        if level == 1:
            $level+=1
            "Level 2"
        elif level == 2:
            $level+=1
            "Level 3"
        else:
            "You've reached max level!"
        jump pub
    else:
        jump pub
