Random label from list

[eoloe]

Hello !

I'm trying to jump or call labels at random.


let's say I have a list like this :

Code: Select all

list = ["forest", "town", "mountain", "swamp", "sea"]

I would like to be able to do a

Code: Select all

$ surprise = renpy.random.choice(list)

And then I would like to be able to something like this

Code: Select all

call surprise

or like this

Code: Select all

jump surprise

Of course the two last lines are not working. Can you please help me to figure this out ?

Thank you

Try something like this:


In your init block, put:

Code: Select all

$ import random

and then in the main script where you want it to happen:

Code: Select all

$ surprise = int(random()*5) # There are 5 choices.
if surprise == 0:
  jump forest
elif surprise == 1:
  jump town
elif surprise == 2:
  jump mountain
elif surprise == 3:
  jump swamp
elif surprise == 4: # We end at N-1 because we started at zero.
  jump sea

If you prefer counting from 1 to N instead of 0 to N-1, then you can instead write:

Code: Select all

$ surprise = int(random()*5+1)
if surprise == 1:
  jump forest

and so forth.


Good luck!

And then I would like to be able to something like this

Code: Select all

call surprise

I believe what you actually want is:

Code: Select all

call expression surprise
