Simple else/if question [SOLVED]

[ashewalton]

Looking for the correct way to express the statement "IF relationshipBenjamin is 1 AND minutes is ALSO 900"

Code: Select all

"{color=#FF0000}Study with Benjamin{/color}" if minutes is 900 and relationshipBenjamin is 1:

Any help?

Try this:

Code: Select all

if minutes == 900 and relationshipBenjamin:
    "{color=#FF0000}Study with Benjamin{/color}"

Unfortunately, that code fails to check the value of the second variable and make sure it's set to 1 (as it can at this point also be set as 0). Also, it might not have been clear, but this needs to reside within a menu statement, which can't accept else/if blocks. Thanks for the help though ^^;;

Just change the condition to "if minutes == 900 and relationshipBenjamin == 1:"
As for menus, you can use it like

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Choice 1" if var1 == 1:
        "some text"
    "Choice 2" if minutes == 900 and relationshipBenjamin == 1:
        "another text"

Checking for "relationshipBenjamin" checks to see if relationshipBenjamin is not False, and 0 == False.

Try this instead:

Code: Select all

"{color=#FF0000}Study with Benjamin{/color}" if minutes == 900 and relationshipBenjamin == 1:

Because you need to set relationshipBenjamin to True or False. That is the equivalent to what you're doing with zero and one. Then you can check "if relationshipBenjamin" to check if it's True or "if not relationshipBenjamin" if it's False. If you MUST do 1's and 0's, then you write it like "if relationshipBenjamin == 1".

Menu code can accept if statements. Don't be too quick to discount his help, it was entirely accurate if you had a better understanding of the language. For example, this is what you want:

Code: Select all

    $ relationshipBenjamin = True
    menu:
        "Study with Ben" if minutes == 900 and relationshipBenjamin:
            jump study

Yes, it can. An if statement can occur in the code that's run after a menu choice is made, and the menu choices themselves also take if clauses to determine if the choice is shown.

Haha, thank you everyone. I've tried all the code above prior to asking, so it must just be that something's not defined properly, as opposed to me generally sucking with syntax (which is the usual cause of any errors).

[Edit] Actually, I'd been trying to use && instead of and, so problem solved x3
