Jump to multiple possible labels because of the same choice?

[NadOtavlas]

How do I make an if statement for this kind of thing? I want there to be an different outcome from the exact same choice depending whether or not an variable is true or false.

I believe it would be something like:

Code: Select all

if thing == True:
	jump label_for_true
else:
	jump label_for_false

It would go right after you make the choice or wherever you want the choice to split.

There's been some problems when trying to run the game:

Code: Select all

if BP == 3:
    "WTF should I do?"
    menu:
        "Ask the lamp WTF is it's problem?":
            if thing == True:
                            jump labelfortrue
            else:
                jump labelforfalse
        "Kill the fucking lamp.":
            if jenimprove == True
                jump pattywinters
            else:
                jump infinitejest
else
    if jenimprove == True:
	        jump pattywinters
    else:
	        jump infinitejest

You're missing a colon (:) after the outer else statement.

Code: Select all

if BP == 3:
    #I'll omit the menu to save some space
else: # <-- add a colon here
    if jenimprove == True:
	        jump pattywinters

Code: Select all

else:
    if jenimprove == True:
	            jump pattywinters #This is line 946
    else
	            jump infinitejest

You probably added a Tab (four spaces automatically added by the Tabulation key on your keyboard) before that line.

Ren'Py needs to use spaces for identation instead of Tabs. You'll need to find that line in your text editor , delete all space before it and then press Space on your keyboard instead of using the Tab key to generate the necessary space. You can setup your editor so it uses spaces automatically when you press Tab. I don't know what editor you're using, but try and look for an option called "Convert Tab to Spaces" or something similar.

Also in the code you posted don't forget to add the colon after the second else. Ren'Py needs that or it will give another error.
