Add if/else to Imagebutton? (SOLVED)

[Scarecrow-76]

Here's a simple enough code for my image button. It triggers the first conversation between the mc and Nikki. But I only want to jump to this conversation once. If the mc goes back to her, I would like it to jump to another label. I'm guessing I'll be using if/else or true/false? But I can't find any tuts on this for imagebuttons. I know how to use menus with flags in conversations but not in imagebuttons. This seems to be a pretty common mechanic in renpy games, so I'm surprised I cant find it. Yes, I went through the renpy documents. But being a newbie, it might as well be in Japanese, lol.

screen Nikki_day_button():
    imagebutton:
        xpos 708
        ypos 440
        idle "images/Character_buttons/Nikki_day_idle.png"
        hover "images/Character_buttons/Nikki_day_hover.png"
        action Jump("Nikki_intro")

    imagebutton:

        idle "images/Character_buttons/Nikki_day_idle.png"

        hover "images/Character_buttons/Nikki_day_hover.png"

        if idle_nikki == 1:
            action Jump("Nikki_intro_repeat")
        else:
            action Jump("Nikki_intro")

This is basically how I do it with the passage of time resetting the variable so it is as if you're coming to her for the first time that day. Just have it jump to two different labels. BUT I just have the if/else statement within one label and have what needs to be different there before it goes into a menu

I would also suggest putting focus_mask True on your imagebuttons if you want the transparent parts of the image to not be hoverable. so it isn't just a square button

I tried it real quick, because I have to go. But Im getting an error. First idle_nikki not defined, so I figured you meant to put Nikki_day_idle. But that's coming up not defined as well.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

You need to basically set the variable to something whenever you start the game, 'defining' it.

So anywhere in any script, usually a place where you can keep all your variables organized, just do...
default nikki_day_idle = 0

if you ever want to change the idle to something else just do
$ nikki_day_idle = Whatever you want, like 1 for example

It Worked!!! Thanks so much!! That tackles a huge part of the coding that I was worried about learning. Thanks!!

label Nikki_intro:
$ Nikki_day_idle += 1
scene balloon_zoom:
blur 16
show Nikki_normal at right
show mc_normal at left
with dissolve

screen Nikki_day_button():
    imagebutton:
        xpos 708
        ypos 440
        idle "images/Character_buttons/Nikki_day_idle.png"
        hover "images/Character_buttons/Nikki_day_hover.png"
        if idle_nikki == 1:
            action Jump("Nikki_intro_repeat")
        else:
            action Jump("Nikki_intro")

Alternatively it's possible to have:

screen Nikki_day_button():
    imagebutton:
        [...]
        hover "images/Character_buttons/Nikki_day_hover.png"
        action Jump("Nikki_intro_repeat" if idle_nikki == 1 else "Nikki_intro")

Or, if there will be a lot of possible condition:

init python:
    def nikkiLabels():
        if   idle_nikki == 0: return "Nikki_intro"
        elif idle_nikki == 1: return "Nikki_intro_repeat" 
        elif idle_nikki == 2: return "Nikki_is_borred_to_repeat_herself"
         

screen Nikki_day_button():
    imagebutton:
        [...]
        hover "images/Character_buttons/Nikki_day_hover.png"
        action Jump( nikkiLabels() )

Alternatively the selection can be made in a label:

screen Nikki_day_button():
    imagebutton:
        [...]
        hover "images/Character_buttons/Nikki_day_hover.png"
        action Jump( "Nikki_hub" )

label Nikki_hub:
    if   idle_nikki == 0: 
        jump Nikki_intro
    elif idle_nikki == 1: 
        jump Nikki_intro_repeat
    elif idle_nikki == 2: 
        jump Nikki_is_borred_to_repeat_herself
