(Solved) Question about Boolean Variables

[Two Dollars]

New to ren'py. This functionality figures prominently in my game, so want to make sure I am doing it right. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

init:
    ## All variables are in a seperate varables.rpy file.

    $ crawlacrossfield = False
    $ walkacrossfield = False
    $ runacrossfield = False


label edgeofthefield:

    scene scene2image1
    pvts "This looks dangerous. What should we do?"

    scene scene2image2
        menu:
            "We should low crawl across.":
                $ crawlacrossfield = True
                jump crawlacrossfield
            "We should walk aross.":
                $ walkacrossfield = True
                jump walkacrossfield
            "We should run across.":
                $ runacrossfield
                jump runacrossfield

return


label crawlacrossfield:

    scene scene2aimage1
    mc "We're gonna low crawl. The tall grass will hide us from snipers."
    jump afteractionreview1


return


label walkacrossfield:

    scene scene2bimage1
    mc "We're gonna move carefully across. Watch your sectors of responsibilty."
    jump afteractionreview1

return


label runacrossfield:

    scene2cimage1
    mc "We're gonna run like Hell. We'll be across before they can react."
    jump afteractionreview1


return


label afteractionreview1:

    scene scene3image1

        co "Great job out there Sergeant."

    scene scene3image2

        mc: "Thank you, Sir."

        if crawlacrossfield == True:
            co "It was smart crawling to avoid snipers."

        elif walkacrossfield == True:
            co "I might not have moved that slow across a danger area."

        elif runacrossfield == True:
            co "It was smart to move quickly across the danger area."

    scene scene3image3

        co "Move your squad out, Sergeant."

return

Change this

Code: Select all

init:
    ## All variables are in a seperate varables.rpy file.

    $ crawlacrossfield = False
    $ walkacrossfield = False
    $ runacrossfield = False

to

Code: Select all

## All variables are in a seperate varables.rpy file.

default crawlacrossfield = False
default walkacrossfield = False
default runacrossfield = False

Thank you, Alex.

Another tip is whenever you have something like

Code: Select all

if variable == True:

you've actually written

Code: Select all

if True == True

You can actually simplify that to

Code: Select all

if variable:

Would that look like...

if crawlacrossthefield:

Would that look like...

if crawlacrossthefield:

Yes
