Hide menu choices until required item is in inventory SOLVED

[nutmeg2736]

I'm trying to make it so players can change the clothing and equipment of the character by selecting it as a choice in a menu. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make the choices show only the clothes that the player has in the inventory so right now it's just showing all the items in the game. I've got it so that if the player selects an item that hasn't been purchased yet, it just says "You don't own that." But it takes a lot of the fun out when the player sees all those items then finds out s/he doesn't own any of them.

What I did:

Code: Select all

$ weapons = []
$ equipment = "Bare Fists"

menu:
                            "Copper Blade":
                                if "Copper Blade" in weapons:
                                    "%(povname)s equipped herself with the Copper Blade. +10 Combat"
                                    $ equipment = "Copper Blade"
                                    jump choices
                                else:
                                    "%(povname)s doesn't own that weapon."
                                    jump choices
                            "Iron Broadsword":
                                if "Iron Broadsword" in weapons:
                                    "%(povname)s equipped herself with the Copper Blade. +20 Combat"
                                    $ equipment = "Iron Broadsword"
                                    jump choices
                                else:
                                    "%(povname)s doesn't own that weapon."
                                    jump choices
                            "Unequip Weapon":
                                "%(povname)s no longer carries any weapons."
                                $ equipment = "Bare Fists"
                                jump choices
                            "Nevermind":
                                jump choices

So what I have a problem with is how you can see all the choices, even if you don't have any of those weapons or have any weapons equipped. It's silly to try and unequip your bare fists. Anyone have any tips?

Just change the if bit to the lines showing the choices in the menu.

Code: Select all

menu:
                            "Copper Blade" if "Copper Blade" in weapons:
                                    "%(povname)s equipped herself with the Copper Blade. +10 Combat"
                                    $ equipment = "Copper Blade"
                                    jump choices
                            "Iron Broadsword" if "Iron Broadsword" in weapons:
                                    "%(povname)s equipped herself with the Iron Blade. +20 Combat"
                                    $ equipment = "Iron Broadsword"
                                    jump choices
                            "Unequip Weapon" if not equipment == "Bare Fists":
                                "%(povname)s no longer carries any weapons."
                                $ equipment = "Bare Fists"
                                jump choices
                            "Nevermind":
                                jump choices
