asking about scene and others things

Game Development ChoiceScript Help
1

Let’s get to the point.
1#what I want to know is, can we make more choices in the same scene like :-
*choice
#whatever
text
#whatever
text
#whatever
text
*page_break

and then something something something

I know about *goto and *gosub but in order to use it we have to make a new scene but I don’t want to make a new scene every choice I make like choices like gender and appearance and what race they are. I don’t feel like I need a new scenes with every choice.
2# so I’m using choiceScript IDE
you write and then save your progress and then you press run project you press 5 or 6 {next} till you reached the place you just write yay finally. and we do it again and again but instead 5 or 6 {next} there are 30 and 50s {next}
so is there a way to skip or checkpoint to your progress I hope you understand what I’m trying to say. I don’t want to press so many {next} just to check if the game running right.

thank you for your time

No, you don’t need to make a new scene if you use *goto or *gosub unless whatever you need to *goto or use *gosub for requires a new scene.

My eye color is...
*fake_choice
       #Black.
              *set eye_color "black"
       #Brown.
              *set eye_color "brown"
       #Green.
              *set eye_color "green"
       #Blue.
              *set eye_color "blue"

If you don’t want to go through character customization every time you play test your game, you could have something like this:

Would you like to customize your character?

*fake_choice
         #Yes, I would like to select my appearance.
                  *goto character_customize
         #No, let me skip ahead.
                  *goto after_customize

*label character_customize

My eye color is...

*fake_choice
       #Black.
              *set eye_color "black"
       #Brown.
              *set eye_color "brown"
       #Green.
              *set eye_color "green"
       #Blue.
              *set eye_color "blue"

*label after_customize

Story goes here.

Otherwise you could just opt to not include the option to customize your MC.

Btw, just wanted to notify that you can use gravemark (`, the button on the left of number 1 on keyboard) as a tag to preformat the text. Alternatively, try Ctrl + Shift + C.

If you’re asking about having two sets of choices in one page, here’s the way to go.

This is a page with two choices.
*choice var01 var02
  #First choice in var01
    #1st choice in var02
      This will choose the first choice for var01 and first choice in var02
      *goto continue
    #2nd choice in var02
      This will choose the first choice for var01 and second choice in var02
      *goto continue
  #Second choice in var01
    #1st choice in var02
      Same, respectively...
      *goto continue
    #2nd choice in var02
      Same, respectively...
      *goto continue

*label continue

It should appear something like this…

This is a page with two choices.

Select a var01:
• First choice in var01
• Second choice in var 02

Select a var02:
• 1st choice in var01
• 2nd choice in var02

Also, don’t forget to add *create var01 and *create var02 in your startup.txt
