[Solved] How to put if conditional statements in action Setvariable?

How to put if conditional statements in action Setvariable? In what part of the Renpy documentation is this covered?

Setting the variable is the easy part:

Code: Select all

action SetVariable("thatVar", thatVar-1)

But how do you check if a boolean variable is true or false, before incrementing or decrementing a variable using setvariable?

Code: Select all

# i want thatVar to only decrement if someBool == true, but can't figure out the syntax
action SetVariable("thatVar", If(someBool == True, thatVar-1))

Put the logic in the button, not the action.
Alternatively, you could make the action call a label and then put your conditional statement in there.

Something like this?

Code: Select all

If(someBool, true=SetVariable('thatVar', thatVar-1), false=None)

You can replace the None with any other action you want
