Hi again, I wasn't sure whether to make a new topic or not, sorry If this should be a followup in my previous post instead ( viewtopic.php?t=54456 )
but this is a new test so I guess its ok. I'm sorry if not!
Anyway, this time I am having trouble with executing a counter. Ren'Py finds no issues with the code and runs the game normally but despite this, the counter conditional is still not executed.
It's just another simple test. You ask Eileen a question. She answers once, then remembers that you have already asked her and her next answer is annoyed, then after you have asked her a set amount of times (5 times) she tells you shes sick of it and the game ends.
define e = Character("Eileen")
default asked = False
default disney_seen = False
default disney_count = 0
label start:
scene bg room
show eileen happy
if disney_seen:
e "Hi! Wanna ask a... Wait a sec!"
e "I already told you my favorite movie is Disney! Why do you wanna do this again?..."
e "What? You said you wanna do this again?"
elif disney_count > 0 and disney_count >=5:
e "OKAY I'm sick of you asking the same thing over and over. {w}BYE!"
return
elif disney_count >0 and disney_count <5:
menu:
"Yep!":
e "Jeez... Ok..."
jump question
"Nope.":
e "Me neither! Bye!"
return
else:
e "Hi! Wanna ask me a question?"
menu:
"Yes.":
if asked:
e "You've already asked me!"
e "Do you want to keep asking anyway?"
menu:
"Yes, I want to ask again.":
e "Sure!"
jump question
"No, bye.":
e "Ok, bye!"
return
else:
e "Ask me!"
$ asked = True
jump question
label question:
if disney_seen:
e "There you go again, asking me the question you already know the answer to..."
menu:
"What movies do you like?":
e "Creep!"
jump movies
else:
menu:
"What movies do you like?":
jump movies
label movies:
if disney_seen:
$ disney_count += 1
e "I said Disney!"
jump start
else:
"Disney!"
$ disney_seen = True
jump start
return

### a screen that shows the value of certain variables is not necessary
###but can be nice to have when checking a code
### you could make a screen like this
### screen disneyC():
### text str(disney_count)
label start: #### everything under start needs to be indented one increment more
### show screen disneyC
scene bg room
show eileen happy
if disney_seen:
e "Hi! Wanna ask a... Wait a sec!"
e "I already told you my favorite movie is Disney! Why do you wanna do this again?..."
e "What? You said you wanna do this again?"
elif disney_count > 0 and disney_count >=5: ### this line will never run since it is an elif statement
### that will not run if disney_seen == True
### disney_count >0 is not necessary when you also have disney_count >= 5
### change to
### if disney_count >=5
e "OKAY I'm sick of you asking the same thing over and over. {w}BYE!"

This worked perfectly, thank you so much! I actually thought an elif or else must follow after an if, now I know that another if works.
The screen for the counter helps a lot, thanks again for showing me how to do it! I did give the Screens section of the documentation a read, so I know it would be possible to make a little graphic for my screen counter, even using a picture of my own... for example, if the counter was for mana points a bottle filled with blue liquid, which goes down as the mana points decrease and then up again as they increase. How would you go about making this?
I realise this is kind of a separate question, so if I should put it in a different post, sorry! Let me know and I'll do so ^^
