Conditional Menu Items

[Swinwappy]

Hi,

I have a menu that hides certain options based on clock.time and whether or not that person is alive:

Code: Select all

menu:
	"Casey" if caseyAlive == 1 and clock.time=="8AM", "9AM", "10AM", "5PM", "6PM", "7PM", "8PM":
		jump Casey
	"not casey":
		pass

It seems like the menu won't recognise any variables if I have the "and" in there, so using this code "Casey" would show as a Menu item even at 11AM if she's dead.

If I remove the caseyAlive variable, the time element works and she only shows up at the correct times. If I remove the time variable, she only shows up if she's alive.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

Your syntax with the clock.time is wrong, where did you get that from?

Code: Select all

    menu:
        "Casey" if caseyAlive == 1 and clock.time in ["8AM", "9AM", "10AM", "5PM", "6PM", "7PM", "8PM"]:
            jump Casey
        "not casey":
            pass

If I remove the caseyAlive variable, the time element works and she only shows up at the correct times.

I don't believe you here by the way.

I'm very new to python. I made it myself

Thanks for this, mate!

It's actually renpy script which created the confusion, because python would have thrown a syntax error. If you want to compare multiple things in python you have to write the following.

Code: Select all

if a == 1 or a == 2 or a == 3:

or

Code: Select all

# check if a is an element inside the list [1, 2, 3]
if a in [1, 2, 3]:
