[Solved]Choice menu how to hide it until finish one route

[rayminator]

I have search through about 31 pages and try a search bot all i get a white page

so I found one page that I thought it might help but it didn't help

hope someone one can help

how do I hide a choice menu until at least 1 route have been seen

Code: Select all

default rout1_seen = False
default route3_seen = False
default main_seen = False


label start:

    menu:
        nav "selection"
        "Start from beginning":
            $ main_seen = True
            jump beginning
        "Start from after OP":
            $ main_seen = True
            jump op
        "Extra scenario 1":
            $ route1_seen = True
            jump extra1
        "Extra scenario 2":
            $ route3_seen = True
            jump extra2

    return

Do you need to skip whole menu? Add an "if" statement before it checking if at least one route was seen and jump directly to beginning if not.

This page has what you need. I googled "Renpy choices" to find it, as it's often easier to find exactly what you need

Note the if statement at the bottom example.

Since your code wouldn't work and just serves as an example, I'm only including the menu block below to show the concept:

Code: Select all

    menu:
        nav "selection"
        "Start from beginning":
            $ main_seen = True
            jump beginning
        "Start from after OP":
            $ main_seen = True
            jump op
        "Extra scenario 1" if main_seen:
            $ route1_seen = True
            jump extra1
        "Extra scenario 2" if route1_seen:
            $ route3_seen = True
            jump extra2

what i want is for the choice menu to be hidden meaning is locked until common route , route1 and route3 have been seen

You could probably get away with just calling the menu by name... untested though:

Code: Select all

menu path_choices:
    nav "selection"
    "Start from beginning":
        $ main_seen = True
        jump beginning
    "Start from after OP":
        $ main_seen = True
        jump op
    "Extra scenario 1":
        $ route1_seen = True
        jump extra1
    "Extra scenario 2":
        $ route3_seen = True
        jump extra2

label start:

    if some_condition:
        call path_choices

    "..."

thanks for the help but it didn't work the menu still shows up

Can you describe what the outcome would should look like so we know exactly what you're trying to do?

You haven't replied to my suggestion so I don't know if you've seen / tried it, but I thought I had the solution of what you're asking for.

SO why cannot you simply jump over the menu?

Code: Select all

label start:
    if not (route1_seen and route2_seen and route3_seen):
        jump beginning
    menu:
# The rest

[rayminator]

say that you just started the game for the first time and there is NO CHOICE MENU then you have finish the first route then you start a new game again there is a choice menu

so when you start the game there is no menu until the first route has been seen

feels like i am repeat myself

okay if you have played Wanko to Kurasou you should know what i mean

kivik

i have tried it and it didn't work

[kivik]

Right, so you're saying once an ENDING has been experienced, then you get a choice menu? You've not mentioned anything about new game till now that's why we're all so lost as to what you're trying to achieve

You'll need persistent variables for that then, have a look at this.

Objiously, you should replace route1_seen and others with actual variables used to determine which route you have already seen.

okay but how do you do that?

[kivik]

Look up persistent variables - if you want to unlock a menu after a player has played through the game through a path, you need to store the variable inside the persistent object - it's the only thing that remains the same throughout different play throughs.

If you store it in a normal variable, then once the player restarts the game, it'll reset to False.

tried that

its not what I want the menu has to stay there when the play starts a new game cause when the first route has been done it goes to the main menu so if the player wishes to play the other routes he doesn't have have to replay the first route

but I try again

last time i have tried it last night after finishing the first route it didn't reappear
