Remembering choices

[Blackravebow]

I’m trying to figure out how to make it so when you give the player choices, they have to click through each one in order for the game to progress.
When you click one choice you go through the dialogue and end back up at the choice menu with the choice you just selected blurred out so now you have to click through the other couple and then the game continues. The way I currently have it is that you select the choice, go through one of the dialogues, and then the story skips the other two choices and continues.

I’m trying to figure out how to make it so when you give the player choices, they have to click through each one in order for the game to progress.

That's a very basic thing to do, there are different approaches. One would be to just use a list that stores the already chosen paths. And Renpy actually ships with something like this called a "menuset": https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/menus.html#menu-set

You could also implement it yourself, since you want your non-available paths to be "blurred". In this case the biggest problem is changing the menu screen so you can pass arguments for items that should be blurred: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/menus.ht ... -arguments

Code: Select all

default choices = []

label start:
    "Please pick a color!"
    menu:
        "Purple" if "purple" not in choices:
            $ choices.append("purple")
            jump scenario_purple
        "Orange" if "orange" not in choices:
            $ choices.append("orange")
            jump scenario_orange
        "Purple" (True) if "purple" in choices:
            pass
        "Orange" (True) if "orange" in choices:
            pass

This code would send "True" to the menu screen in cases the paths were already chosen. Now you would have to alter the "choice" screen inside <screens.rpy> so it will check for that argument we sent and in cases where it is "True", the item is displayed as a blurred text or image instead of a textbutton the user can click. I hope that helps you make what you want to achieve.
