(FIXED; thank you all!) Newbie looking for help with menu options

[QtPaTT]

Hello! So, I am really new to coding and I have been having a lot of trouble with my menu stuff.

In simple terms, I have a menu with 2 options.
And I want to be able to pick one of the options, but automatically after that option is finished, it starts what would be the next option.
So, if you pick option one, you would go to option two automatically.
If you pick option two, you would go to option one automatically.
After both are done, there is one last option that only happens when you finished both of the options.

Do you know how I would code this?

You might have to really explain it to me because I am having a very hard time figuring this out :C

Thanks so much <3

This should do what you are asking for.

Code: Select all

default goThree=0

label start:
   menu:
        "option one":
           jump onelabel
        "option two":
           jump twolabel

label onelabel:

    "This is option one"

    if goThree==0:
        $ goThree=1
        jump twolabel
    else:
        jump threelabel

label twolabel:

    "This is option two"

    if goThree==0:
        $ goThree=1
        jump onelabel
    else:
        jump threelabel

label threelabel:
    "this is the last label."
    $ goThree=0
    jump start

The really, really (I surprised myself by not overthinking this) simple answer is from the Ren'Py Launcher window select The Question, then open the script.rpy file. Your really simple explanation on how menus work is right there!

By the way, I'm new to Ren'Py as well!

Hello! I was looking for something similar that might be helpful if you wish to have more than two options. It's how to hide a choice after it is selected, so a user would go to a menu with 2+ options, select an option, and go back to the menu with the option they selected removed.

I found this answer on this thread.

Here is an example that is partially copied from that thread:

Code: Select all

default fruit_set = [ ] # This defines the array with nothing stored in it.

label fruit_menu_options:
    $ fruit_set = [ ]    
    menu fruits:    
        "What fruit should I eat?" # This line is placed after the menu is declared so it will show up with the options instead of before them.
        set fruit_set # This starts storing the options after they are selected, which will hide the options stored in the array when the user returns to this menu.

        "Apple":
            "Apples are good. I eat the apple."
            jump fruits

        "Pear":
            "Pears are tasty. I eat the pear."
            jump fruits

        "Orange":
            "Orange is okay. I eat the orange."
            jump fruits

# The following option only appears after all the other ones have been chosen. This is defined by 3, because there are 3 options to choose from. Change this number to the number of options if more/less options are added/removed.
        "No more fruit is left!" if len(fruit_set) >= 3:
            "I've eaten all the fruit. Oh well."
            return

I hope this helps, and good luck!
