For loop in a label not working!

[Yuvan raj]

Hello, I created a list of different arrows ($ fightArrowActive = ["arrow_up_active", "arrow_right_active", "arrow_down_active", "arrow_left_active"]). I want to display several different arrows. I have 2 random variables. one decides how many arrows to be displayed and other which arrows to be displayed. Something like the picture below.

But, I'm getting an error saying
And this is my arrow names

Is my code correct? What mistake am I making? Thank you very much in advance guys!

This is the script.rpy

Code: Select all

define e = Character("Eileen")

$ fightArrowActive = ["arrow_up_active", "arrow_right_active", "arrow_down_active", "arrow_left_active"]

default single_sequence_arrow_list = []

label start:

    scene bg room

    call arrowlabel

    "shsjdsfffffffffffffffffffffff"

    "jiommmmmmmmmmmop;jjjjjjjjjjjjjj"

    "shsjdsfffffffffffffffffffffff"

    "jiommmmmmmmmmmop;jjjjjjjjjjjjjj"

    "shsjdsfffffffffffffffffffffff"

    "jiommmmmmmmmmmop;jjjjjjjjjjjjjj"

    "shsjdsfffffffffffffffffffffff"

    "jiommmmmmmmmmmop;jjjjjjjjjjjjjj"

    return

And this is the label and screens code:

Code: Select all

label arrowlabel:

    $ tmpInt = renpy.random.randint(3, 7) ##  This is for deciding the number of arrows on screen


    for j in range(1, tmpInt):

        $ singletmpInt = renpy.random.randint(0, 3)  ##   This is for randomly choosing the arrows names from the fightArrowIdle List.

        $ arrow_for_list = "fightArrowIdle[singletmpInt]"   ##  The value gets changed for every loop and the last arrow will be inside arrow_for_list at the end of loop

        $ single_sequence_arrow_list.append("fightArrowIdle[singletmpInt]")   ##   I append the random arrows one by one to the empty list

    if "arrow_for_list" == "single_sequence_arrow_list[3]":  ##  This is for testing whether my code is correct. If I change the number in the box bracket. Only '3' should display the text 'they match'
        text "they match"
    else:
        text "they don't"

    show screen circlescreen
    return

screen arrowscreen():

    hbox:
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.8

        for i in single_sequence_arrow_list:  ##   This is to show the arrows as button

                imagebutton:
                    idle single_sequence_arrow_list[i]
                    action NullAction()

Hi! I found here that for loop is not supported in Ren'Py:
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/conditio ... -statement

Ren'Py does not have continue, break, or for statements. Continue and break statements can be replaced by jumps to labels placed before or after the while loop, respectively. The first example of a while loop, above, shows how a while loop can replace a simple for statement. The second shows how it can replace a for statement which iterates through a list (also known as a foreach statement in other programming languages).

... or you can simply move for loop declaration within Python block since all you do in loop body is Python statements

Oh! That makes more sense! Thank you
