Setting up endings for a Dating Sim based on points

[Plusle]

I'm making a dating sim where, depending on how you answer, you can get one of three endings - friendship, romance and 'special' romance. (romance but with an extra scene at the end).

I've tried to set up a points system for 'romance' points.
If you get 0-2 you get the friendship ending, 3-5 is the normal romance ending and 6 is special romance.

At the start of my code I've written;

Code: Select all

$ Rpoints = 0

and when you 'correctly' answer a question in the sim I've coded;

Code: Select all

    menu:

        "Let's take it easy for now.":
        
            jump take_it_easy
            
        "Don't worry, we will.":
        
            jump dw_we_will
         
        "Yeah! Come on, let's go train!":
            $ Rspoints += 1
            jump lets_go_train

(wasn't sure that I position that correctly)
But I keep getting the error;

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 2475, in script
  File "game/script.rpy", line 2475, in python
NameError: name 'romance_points' is not defined

    $ romance_points += 1

I'm not sure what went wrong, or what this means? Can anyone help explain this to me?
I've seen variants of this asked already, but I can't seem to apply it to my game, sorry in advance if this is considered spam.

You seem to be calling that variable three different things, "Rpoints", "Rspoints" and "romance_points"

Try just using one of those in all 3 places.

[Plusle]

Ah... You're right, I didn't realize that.. d'oh ><

Just changed it though and still getting an error.
Am i not positioning the point's addition properly?
Like.. if I'm in a menu, do I write the point addition next to/directly underneath the correct menu option or at the beginning of the corresponding beginning of text?

Code: Select all

Ah, I worked it out, I put the code
$ Rpoints = 0

before the label start text...

Be careful about where you put that. If it happens before the game is running (like, in an 'init:' block or something), Rpoints won't be tracked in save games and stuff. If you meant that you put it after label start: that should be fine.

[Plusle]

Excellent, thank you for your help

Having a different problem now,

I'm trying to make it so that there is a 'best' romance ending. If you have accumulated 3-5 romance points (rpoints) during the game, you see the normal romance ending, but if you manage to get all 6 romance points, you will get some additional text at the end.

I have tried coding it like this;

Code: Select all

    "You both walk away, hand in hand."
   
if rpoints = 6:
    
    jump specialromance
    
elif rpoints <= 5:
    
    jump end


label end:
return

label specialromance:

    show lloyd serious animate
    with dissolve
    l "Actually Reimi, wait a second."

But when I input this code I get the error;

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

  File "game/script.rpy", line 2997, in script

    raise e

Any idea on what I might be doing wrong?

if rpoints == 6:

[Plusle]

Ah, thanks, will test it in a bit and update soon

[Plusle]

All working now, thank you!

[Plusle]

Just been gametesting my dating sim through again and I've realized the different endings are still not being prompted properly.
The code I have in place at the end is;

Code: Select all

if Fpoints and rpoints <=2:
    jump normalend
elif Fpoints > rpoints:
    jump friendshipend
elif rpoints >=3 & Fpoints <=3:
    jump romanceend

^ - changing the order of this code seems to determine which end will occur. Like only the top code goes through.
I've also checked that the points were labelled properly and they seem to be.

What am I doing wrong?

[Steamgirl]

The & sign might need to be && (not 100% sure about that one, as you probably would have gotten error of some sort if it was wrong.)

I would print the value of each of them to double check if maybe it's not adding up correctly.

Code: Select all

if Fpoints and rpoints <=2:
    "Fpoints: %(Fpoints)s"
    "rpoints: %(rpoints)s"
    jump normalend
elif Fpoints > rpoints:
    "Fpoints: %(Fpoints)s"
    "rpoints: %(rpoints)s"
    jump friendshipend
elif rpoints >=3 & Fpoints <=3:
    "Fpoints: %(Fpoints)s"
    "rpoints: %(rpoints)s"
    jump romanceend

[Plusle]

Ah thanks! What do I need to add in the brackets? Sorry, I'm a complete noob at coding ><

[Steamgirl]

Nothing - that code is good to go I believe (although I did accidentally add a space behind Fpoints which I've now removed). It will use your default narrator and print something like:

Fpoints: 2
rpoints: 1

[Plusle]

Brilliant! It works now, thank you so much! Phew phew phew

out of curiousity, do I need the code to show them how many points they got for it to work?
