Help with simple character choice

[yasminuscula]

So im creating a game were I want the player to be able to choose between 3 options of characters (female, male and nonbinary).
Basically what was answered here ( viewtopic.php?t=41843 ) but I don't know if it would workout with 3 options instead of 2.

And also how do I go about coding to show the option that the player chose as a side image.

Well it's pretty much the same, just add a third line within the question and a third option inside the image:

Code: Select all

image mysprite = ConditionSwitch(
    "gender=='male'", "male_sprite.png",
    "gender=='female'", "female_sprite.png",
    "gender=='nonbinary'", "nonbinary_sprite.png")

You will figure out the rest.

edit:
One option inside the ConditionSwitch() function should always be true, so it's better to write the following, assuming that if the player didn't pick male or female we just assume it's nonbinary, regardless of what is inside the variable "gender". Otherwise if the variable would contain None or another value, the function would throw an error and the game crashes.

Code: Select all

image mysprite = ConditionSwitch(
    "gender=='male'", "male_sprite.png",
    "gender=='female'", "female_sprite.png",
    "True", "nonbinary_sprite.png")
