Need help with making multiple random scenes go off

[Jaitzche]

I'm super new to this but I'm trying for a certain affect. It mostly works except it's setting off the wrong random scenes on occasion and I don't know if it's a coding issue or if there's something more that I need that I haven't learned about yet. My code for the most part looks like this-

Code: Select all

label talk:
$ rand_themtalk = renpy.random.randint(1,2)
if rand_themtalk == 1 and talking: #the second part just to show that I'm trying to only 
					 trigger it if there's a second variable at play (mentioning as 
					 I'm not sure if it might be part of the problem)
	$ you_talk = "Some words"
if rand_themtalk == 2 and talking:
	$ you_talk = "Some other words.
	
$ rand_youtalk = renpy.random.randint(1,2)
if rand_youtalk == 1 and fighting:
	$ you_talk == "Them's some fighting words."
if rand_youtalk == 2 and fighting:
	$ you_talk == "Some more fighting words."
	
	
	
menu:
	[you_talk]
	
	"Say something else" if talking:
		$ talking = True
		$ fighting = False
		jump talk
	"Fight it out" if fighting:
		$ talking = False
		$ fighting = True
		jump talk
	"Do something else":
		jump some_other_label 

Okay if that makes sense (I'd copy the actual code but it's about 10 times as long with a bunch of variables that I don't want to have to explain).

So, my problem is, say every time I jump back to the talk label, half the time it does it right, but the other half, instead of 'talking' it switches to 'fighting', and vice versa.

I checked my code to see if maybe I've messed up a = or something but so far I'm not seeing an issue. I was wondering if maybe it's they way I have the random part set up- putting two different randoms together, and it's not happy about it.

If this doesn't make sense I'll try to explain further.

Some comments in the code above.

A working code

Code: Select all

default talking = True

label start:
    scene placeholder

label talk:

    $ rand_talk = renpy.random.randint(1,2)

    if talking:
        if rand_talk == 1:
            $ you_talk = "talk 1."
        else:
            $ you_talk = "talk 2."

    else:
        if rand_talk == 1:
            $ you_talk = "Fight 1."
        else:
            $ you_talk = "Fight 2."

    menu:
        "[you_talk]"

        "Say something else":
            $ talking = True
            jump talk

        "Fight it out":
            $ talking = False
            jump talk

        "Do something else":
            jump some_other_label
