This is part of (emphasis on part of) a simple text based adventure that i am making right now. For some reason every time i run this and say "no" at either point it still goes ahead and executes the code for "yes". Feel free also to suggest any ways to clean up this code. I self teach using the internet and are very new to python so no hate please :).
if path1 == "1":
while breakhold3 == 0:
if path1 == "1":
poi1 = raw_input ("There is a strange artificial hole in the ground. It is surrounded by yellow bricks and vines cover them. Would you like to investigate?")
if poi1 == "Yes" or "yes" or "ye" or "Ye" or "Y" or "y":
print("You crouch down to look in the hole. When you look in, you find that it goes so deep all you can see is blackness. There is a large rock next to the hole.")
if item == "1":
poic1 = raw_input ("You get out the rope and attatch it to the rock. You throw it down the hole and it is at least 2 seconds before you hear it hit the bottom. Would you like to descend the rope?")
if poic1 == "Yes" or "yes" or "Ye" or "ye" or "Y" or "y":
print ("You slowly descend down the rope. It takes about a minute before you get to the bottom. It is dark here, and you begin to feel around the room with your hands.")
from random import randrange
numberboy = randrange(7,10)
if numberboy == 7:
print ("You unluckily fall into a pit!")
health -= 1
if health == 0:
print ("You drop to your knees and lie, filled with pain in the pit. You drop to the floor. Your quest is over.")
print ("Your health has fallen to " + str(health) + ". ")
if numberboy in (8,9):
print ("You could have fallen into a pit but you luckily didn't!")
print ("You find a path leading of to another room.")
print ("You walk down the path and find a light illuminating an elvish sword!")
print ("You walk out of an escape path and find youself coming out of a secret entrance at the clearing.")
breakhold3 += 1
break
if poic1 == "No" or "no" or "n" or "N":
print ("You decide not to descend down the rope. You continue down the path ahead.")
breakhold3 += 1
if poi1 == "no" or "No" or "n" or "N":
print ("You decide not to investigate. You continue down the path ahead.")
breakhold3 += 1
print ("Check")
import time
NOTE: i did breakhold 3 = 0 earlier on.
