starting out renpy, have som trouble with dialogue

[wbertheau]

Hello,

As the subject said, i'm just started with renpy, i've learned alot trough youtube and google searches, but i can't seem to find out how to navigate rooms without the same dialogue "spawns" everytime.

For exempel:

You wake up, it says go to the kitchen, when you arrive at the kitchen for the first time, a dialogue pops, but when that ends i and i go out of the room and comeback, i want just the room.

Here is my code for the kitchen:

Code: Select all

label kitchen:
    scene bg_kitchen

    $ kitchenentered = "No"

    if kitchenentered == "No":
        show eileen happy at left with dissolve

        e "Hello [mcname]"

        hide eileen happy

        show eileen happy happy at right with dissolve

        m "Hello mom"
    
    call screen bg_kitchen

    screen bg_kitchen:
        add "bg_kitchen"
        imagebutton:
            focus_mask True
            idle "Kitchen/to_livingroom_idle.png"
            hover "kitchen/to_livingroom_hover.png"

            action Jump("upstairs")

Try to put all those '$ kitchenentered = "No"' outside of locations labels. For now every time game jumps to the kitchen label the 'kitchenentered' variable sets to 'No'.

Code: Select all

# declare all the necessary variables using
# default statement
default kitchenentered = 'No'

label start:
    "..."
    jump kitchen

label kitchen:
    scene bg_kitchen

    if kitchenentered == "No":
        # set new value for flag-variable
        $ kitchenentered = "Yes" # <--- !!!

        show eileen happy at left with dissolve

        e "Hello [mcname]"

        hide eileen happy

        show eileen happy happy at right with dissolve

        m "Hello mom"
    
    call screen bg_kitchen

I will try this asap, thank you.

For simple "yes"/"no" flags you should learn about using booleans instead. Just use the values of True and False (case-sensitive!), it's much easier to test for them, too.

Code: Select all

default kitchenentered = False

label start:
    "..."
    jump kitchen

label kitchen:
    scene bg_kitchen

    if not kitchenentered:
        $ kitchenentered = True

    #...
