Question with renpy.random.randint

[Hoseigndie]

Hello all,

I have a question with "renpy.random.randint".
In my game, I have this code once a day :

$ randomnum = renpy.random.randint(1,4)

This code make 4 differentes action in the day.

My question is, how to make a random choice without the last one selected ?

Exemple, I have randomnum==2, the next morning the choice will be made without the 2. Only 1, 3 and 4.

I hope you understand my question ... Sorry for my english

You could do it like this.

You make a list with you 4 options.

$ action_list=[1,2,3,4]

You then use randint to chose which position in the list to use. Remember that the first position is '0' not '1'.

You pick the number at that position and remove that member from the list.

You repeat this day 2, now, to start off with, only with three members in the list i.e [1,3,4], since you removed one position day 1.

Make sure you are adjusting the numbers put into radint so you only can look at positions that are filled in the list.

randint(0,3)
randint(0,2)
randint(0,1)

Day four you of course only have one member left to chose from.

If you are unfamiliar with lists read up on 'python list'. It's a useful tool.

I am not comfortable with the lists.
But Can I make a renpy.random.randint without a number ?
For exemple, I can make this way :

if randomnum==2:
renpy.random.choice(1,4) <=== can I make this code without the 2 ???

Sorry but my level in Python is not high

I don't think there is any such out of the box function.

Another way could be to use a while loop that will keep on looping until the random function picks a number that has not been picked yet.

Hacky and not really easier to do than the list method.

I still think it is worth the effort to get a bit more familiar with lists.

Thx for your response ...
I will try to learn this option
