[Solved]Changing description to match numerical value

[facadepapergirl]

I'm trying to have a system where you can change certain values through various means. If you change these values, your description in game changes. I've included a small portion, as the rest is simply more numbers and another variable.

Code: Select all

$ chest = 0

$ chestlook = None

if chest = 0:
    $ chestlook = "flat, masculine chest"
if tits = 1:
    $ chestlook = "soft A-cups"
if tits = 2:
    $ chestlook = "round B-cups"
if tits = 3:
    $ chestlook = "hefty C-cups"

But when I try to run it, all I get is this for every line with the if statement:

�ｿI'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "game\script.rpy", line 57, in script
SyntaxError: invalid syntax (script.rpy, line 57)

What is wrong with that code, and how can I fix it?

There are two things going on here potentially. First off, when you want to check for equality in a conditional statement, it has to be a double equal sign '=='. This will be true for all of the if statements in your code. Also, I don't know the rest of your code, so I don't know if it's intentional or not for you to have a different variable name other than 'chest' after the first 'if' statement. You'll definitely want to change the equal signs though to double equal signs. Think of it this way, a single equal signs means to assign a value and a double equal sign is to check whether or not they are equal.

Code: Select all

$ chest = 0                               #<-- chest

$ chestlook = None

if chest == 0:                                       #<-- chest
    $ chestlook = "flat, masculine chest"
if tits == 1:                                          #<-- different variable name (on purpose?)
    $ chestlook = "soft A-cups"
if tits == 2:                                          #<-- different variable name
    $ chestlook = "round B-cups"
if tits == 3:                                          #<-- different variable name
    $ chestlook = "hefty C-cups"

Sorry, I had changed tits to chest in case I offended people, but it seems that I got distracted and forgot to finish changing it out. So, the double = signs seems to be the answer to my problem. I'll try it tomorrow, and see how it works, though I think that it should be fine. Thank you very much.
