Setting possibilities/chance

[richycapy]

Hi

Hope you are all doing great, I have a simple question... how can someone set possibilities/chances in the game, an example:

If the player does something in particular, set a 50% chance for a scene to apear, if the user doesn't do something in particular, set a 25% chance for a scene to apear

I hope is something simple to do

Thanks!!

I use an RNG with a list of outcomes for this. Probably not the most elegant solution, but it works.

I can give you an example within a day or so.

the simple way is creating a temporary random value and compare.

Code: Select all

def chance_example():
    c = renpy.random.randint(0, 100)
    if chance_1 < c:
        # trigger the event

In addition to what Kia said, you could also do it like this, I guess...

Code: Select all

default userdidSomething = False
default probability = renpy.random.random()
if probability >= 0.50 and userdidSomething:
	do something...
elif probability <= 0.25 and not userdidSomething:
	do something...

You could also try this one, just found it on google.

The way I'm doing it isn't much different from how Kia suggested, but I'll post it anyway since I have it here.

Code: Select all

default result = 0

label start:
    $ result = renpy.random.randint(1, 16)
    if result in [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]:
        # 100% chance
    elif result == 0 or is > 16:
        "ERROR" 
        

to get a specific chance value, omit some of the numbers in the list, for example, removing half of them gives a 50% chance of renpy.random creating an integer in the list.
