Some help if you will.

Question

in my code, I am trying to call attributes[1] from the _attribs() so that I can add a random number to it in the psionics(). I need some expert assistance if you will.

Answer 1

dear James , you're in Python ,
indentation and spacing are the core of these programming.
you cause _attribs () you had space between attrib and () , I remake it into :

#coder: James Barrow
#Date: 08/10/17

#(updated: 08/11/17) created a tuple for the attribute names.

import random

#these are the variables

def psionic():

psi = random.randint(2, 100)
ISP = 0
if psi <= 15:
ISP =_attribs(attributes[1]) + random.randint(4, 24)
print ("Major Psionic I.S.P.:" +ISP)
else:
if psi <= 35:
ISP =_attribs(attributes[1]) + random.randint(2, 12)
print ("Minor Psionic I.S.P.:" +ISP)

else:
print("No psionics")

def _attribs():

''' This is a random attribute generator for Palladium Games RPGs. You can choose to role multiple times by entering 'y' in the input box'''

attributes = []
stats = ('I.Q.:', 'M.E.:', 'M.A.:', 'P.S.:', 'P.P.:', 'P.E.:', 'P.B.:', 'S.P.D.:')

for i in stats:
attributes = random.randint (3, 18)
if attributes < 16:
attributes = attributes + random.randint (1, 6)
print (i, attributes)
else:
print(i, attributes)

_attribs()
psionic()

choice = input("Would you like to roll again? (y or n)\n")

while choice == 'y':
_attribs()
psionic()
choice = input("Would you like to roll again? (y or n)\n")

Answer 2

it runs well whenever you get rid spaces between _attrib and ()

Answer 3

it run great until you get a psionic character at which point it says attributes are undefined. the psionic() isn't able to get the 1st element from the attributes[1] list. how do i define attributes [] as global?
