Lemma Soft Forums

Hi all,
I'm wondering what is the best way to create and call a random number generator and how to properly use it. I'm currently using this code:

$ d20roll = renpy.random.randint(1, 20) #this is what I want to call

menu: #this is what I've hacked together. Been looking all over for example of how to do this properly with no luck =/
"Peek in the front window":
$ d20roll
if d20roll > 15:
$ sneek +=1
jump frontdoor

"Walk in and see first hand":
jump frontdoor


And can someone point out to me to properly post code here please? I don't know the method...

To post code here, make use of the [code] and [/code] tags, like this:

As for your question, I'm not sure I understand correctly, but each time you want to roll the dice, you call the function again.

Ah thanks for the code pasting info! =)

So quick question. I have defined the d20 roll at the top of my code with other defines using the '$' in this case. Are you saying this will keep the same value unless I reset it every time? If so, it would seem most efficient to keep the code up top behind a '#' so I can just copy/paste every time I need it. I was hoping to just be able to call it every time, rather than rewrite it. But, this is not so bad either =) Thank you very much!!

You see $-sign means that there will be single-line python code. is just the variable value asignment, it occures when this line executes. To re-assign value you need to run this line once again or make another similar line of code.

If you don't want to type this line again and again, you can create a function, like

Oh thanks!! This will help save a lot of time =)
