Choice statements with weights

[CatNip23]

Hello, I would like to show some specific ATL animations but I'm having some problems.

The choice statement chooses block with equal probabilites, but I would like to have some weights when choosing, like this:

Code: Select all

image anim1:
	choice if renpy.random.randint(1, 10) > 3:
		"animation1.png"
        	0.07
        	"animation2.png"
        	0.07
        	"animation3.png"
        	0.07
        choice else:
        	"animation4.png"
        	0.07
        	"animation5.png"
        	0.07
        	"animation6.png"
        	0.07
        	
        repeat
       	

That way, the first block would happen 70% of the time, and the second 30%. How would I go about something like this?

The choice statement chooses block with equal probabilites

The documentation disagrees:
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/atl.html ... -statement

Code: Select all

atl_choice ::=  "choice" (simple_expression)? ":"
                    atl_block

Choice statements are greedily grouped into a choice set when more than one choice statement appears consecutively in a block. If the simple_expression is supplied, it is a floating-point weight given to that block, otherwise 1.0 is assumed.

It's not clear to me how I would use it. I tried using:

Code: Select all

image anim1:
	atl_choice ::=  "choice" (0.7)? ":"
		"animation1.png"
        	0.07
        	"animation2.png"
        	0.07
        	"animation3.png"
        	0.07
        atl_choice ::=  "choice" (0.3)? ":"
        	"animation4.png"
        	0.07
        	"animation5.png"
        	0.07
        	"animation6.png"
        	0.07
        	
        repeat

But it didn't work

It is a Backus–Naur form of defining syntax. It says, that atl_choice statement consist of
* literal word "choice" (without quotes)
* optional simple_expression (which can be a number, variable, etc...)
* literal ":" (semicolon without quotes)
* indented atl_block

So you can write it like:

Code: Select all

choice 7:
    pass
choice 3:
    pass

Notice how the only difference between usual choice statement and this is a single expression between "choice" and ":"

Oh, it's a lot simpler than I thought. Thanks!
