How to skip a scene

[JimPanse]

Hi guys,

so I'm trying to achieve the following:
If the player decides for one specific choice, a scene later in the game won't show up, because it basically was the wrong choice to make.
So I was thinking... is it possible to use an 'if statement' with a skip action. So let's just assume the player comes to a point where it's like this:

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Yes"
    $ Player += 1

    "No"
    pass

Now if he chooses 'No' then later in the game one specific scene shall be skipped. I'm not sure if you could combine an 'if statement' with a 'skip call'.
So when later in the game the player reaches a certain point the 'if statement' would come into play.
I'm thinking that I would have to label the choice beforehand, someting like

Code: Select all

label choice_20:
     menu:
        "Yes"
        $ Player += 1

        "No"
        pass

So I could then use something like this:

Code: Select all

if choice_20 = No then skip scene_ch6fight

Am I on the right track with this or am I talking rubbish here? Maybe you could help me out here.
Talking about scenes: Is it possible to tell renpy exactly where a scene begins and where it ends, e.g.

Code: Select all

start scene_01:
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
end scene_01

or something like that because usually if you do something like

Code: Select all

scene black with fade

it ends as soon as you use a show statement or anything like that.

Code: Select all

default skip_later_scene = False
# . . .
menu:
    "Yes":
        $ player += 1
    "No":
        $ skip_later_scene = True
# . . .
label later_scene:
if skip_later_scene:
    jump later_scene_end
# . . .
label later_scene_end:
# . . .
