Can I call a label using a variable?

[bdaywans]

This seemed like a different enough topic from my other post to make it separate but I'm trying to call a label based on some variables. I thought that I could use [] but since I don't know renpy, I learned that was wrong fast.

Hers the long and short: During a minigame I want to call in cutcenes. So for example after round 1 it will call

Code: Select all

label win1:
"text goes here..."
return

But based on who you're competing against I want that to change. For example, I'd want to jump specifically to"

Code: Select all

label Annette_win1:
"text goes here..."
return

So that I don't have to write a game for each character/game I though it made sense to call the label using variables... for example:

Code: Select all

# before the game
$ challenger = Annette


# Then durning the game
...
label won_the_round:
  "You win"
  $ roundsWon += 1
  call [challenger]_win[roundsWon]
  jump game


# and what I'd be calling
label Annette_win1:
  "some text here, blah blah..."
  return

label Annette_win2:
  "some text here, blah blah..."
  return

But clearly this is wrong. Any I coding it incorrectly or is what I'm trying to do not possible?

Code: Select all

call expression my_variable + "_labelname"

you want to add expression, and don't use the []'s

Code: Select all

call expression my_variable + "_labelname"

you want to add expression, and don't use the []'s

Thanks! So does that mean if I was calling a label like my above example it would be:

Code: Select all

call expression Annette + "_win1"

or if I had multiple expressions (say the win number changed) I could do:

Code: Select all

call expression Annette + "_win" + roundNumber

Sorry, just trying to see if I get the idea correctly...

EDIT: I added the code in teh style I was proposing above and got an error when I called my first variable:

Code: Select all

    call expression challenger + "_" + match + "_intro"

It says challenger is not defined but I have a default value set for it:

Code: Select all

default challenger  = "npc"

and just before its called in my script I set:

Code: Select all

$ challenger = "npc1 "

... did I break something?

hopefully a mod will move it (i didn't even notice)

call expression allows you to pass variables, it will combine all the info into a string and will call that so...

Code: Select all

default challenger = "anne"
default round = 5 

# str() converts the int variable into a string -- I don't know if call expression will convert variables into strings for you
call expression challenger + "_round_" + str(round)

## would call this:

label anne_round_5:
    #stuff
    return

your code

Code: Select all

##i'm placing variables here since I don't know what yours are
default challenger = "anne"
default match = "match1"

call expression challenger + "_" + match + "_intro"

## would call this:

label anne_match1_intro:
    #stuff
    return
