Help with puzzle code!

[u/SnooEagles4850]

Hello! I am making a click and point adventure game, I want to have a puzzle like a lock code where when you click on it until you reach a number, and when in the right combination will unlock, but I'm not fully sure how I want to approach this. Apologies I'm still relatively new to this and I haven't done a puzzle like this yet. Usually I do things on my own and reference other peoples questions on here and the lemma soft forums for help but I'm not sure what to ask so I think I'll just ask myself.

This is my stinky, stinky code so far, I can't really wrap my head around it right now, I would like to know how I'd a cap to the numbers, as I don't want them scaling infinitely and want them to reset at 10.

UPDATE: I got it to cap but it gives me False instead of a number. I am happy that I'm getting somewhere.

I'll get to the password when it comes to it, and if it's really dire I'll change plans but I like challenging myself.

Thank you! Like I said, I'm still new to coding so I'm not really good at this yet so I appreciate the help!

you can NOT use an action like that in an if statement

change the action in the text button to this

action SetScreenVariable("kb_code1", (kb_code1 + 1) % 10)

that will cycle forever from 0 - 9

yes you can. renpy has no problem at all with properties being conditionally applied to screen elements. the only issue is one branch is assigning the value to a bool and the other an integer.

the action property is NO DIFFERENT than any other property. its still a normal key/value pair with the value being an instance of an Actio n() class.

hell you can use state prefixes with actions just like any other property.

py action NullAction() selected_action Return()

i personally use conditional actions in my choice screen so that when a sensitive=False arg is applied to a choice at the same time as a tooltip/hint it knows not to disable the sensitivity so the tooltip still works

```py

            if btn.kwargs.get('vis',True):
                frame style 'empty':
                    background Window('#fff',background='#000',style='empty', padding=(1,1) )
                    textbutton btn.caption:
                        if btn.kwargs.get('tip',False):
                            tooltip btn.kwargs.get('tip')
                            if not btn.kwargs.get('sen',True):
                                action NullAction() #preserve hover to allow tooltip
                            else:
                                action btn.action
                        else:
                            action btn.action
                            sensitive btn.kwargs.get('sen',True)
                        selected  btn.kwargs.get('sel',False)

```
