So currently I am running through a choice sequence, where there are different choices depending on which possible RO you are currently with. Anyway, I figured that instead of making one long choice sequence with a bunch of else if surround it, I will just send you into 4 separate labels. Each label, again, depending on which possible RO you are currently with. That works, but what I’m curious about is there’s a few choices that do not depend on the RO, but I don’t want to make a separate choice tag for them. Would I be able to have each label, connect them to a common label and then simply continue the choices in that one? So, something like this. ~ ~~ If our 01 equals true, go to label one \*F (RO2) equals true go to label to Etc., then, Label one,\*go to choices to Label to, go to Choice’s to At Cetra, then Label choice is to Number Choice text Choice text Choice text Number Choice text Choice text Choice text ``` So, something like that. Also, apologies for the coding, I’m doing this through dictation on my iPhone, since if I do it on my computer I’m going to be basically hitting the down arrow with no feedback on where I am, then hitting a scape, and hoping I land on the correct category Basically I want to know if I can continue with choices if I go to a new label, without actually writing the start choice command again. ``` ---

You can have the RO specific scenes that exist under specific labels then have a \*goto to a common label. However, if the choices have text for an RO then you will have to have if statements within the choices, meaning you will have to use \*set implicit\_control\_flow true ---

I know what implicit flow control is, but I’m not very familiar with it… Anything that makes go to and labels somewhat redundant or something? Also, if I turn it on, currently I have it turned off, how much would I have to alter my current book to compensate? Like, I don’t want to turn it on, and then realize that I have to do some major restructuring. ---

You won’t need to do any major or minor restructuring. A you won’t have to alter your your book. ---

I would actually recommend having one long choice sequence — it’s easier to write in my opinion — but regarding what you were asking: no, it’s not possible to continue a `*choice` block in a different label. So something like the code under the summary: > **Code** > > ```choicescript > *label bigchoice > *choice > #General option 1 > #General option 2 > > *if (ro1 == true) > *goto ro1choice > *if (ro2 == true) > *goto ro2choice > > *label ro1choice > #Option for RO 1 only > #Other option for RO 1 only > > *label ro2choice > #Option for RO 2 only > #Other option for RO 2 only > > ``` …would **not** work. * * * One long choice sequence, on the other hand: > **Code** > > ```choicescript > *label bigchoice > #General option 1 > Text stuff > #General option 2 > Text stuff > *if (ro1 == true) #Option for RO 1 only > Text stuff > *if (ro1 == true) #Other option for RO 1 only > Text stuff > *if (ro2 == true) #Option for RO 2 only > Text stuff > *if (ro2 == true) #Other option for RO 2 only > Text stuff > > ``` …would work just fine and is probably easier to read. * * * > [@ArchivistAlpha096](#): > > Also, if I turn it on, currently I have it turned off, how much would I have to alter my current book to compensate? You won’t need to change anything. Implicit control code doesn’t break any code; it just adds options for you to play with! (So you don’t have to `*goto` after every choice, etc.) ---

I had a look at on the WIKI, and everything seems to be in order. However, I can still, if I wish, put \*goto’s, correct? It will not affect that? Some of the choices go to other spisific labels that no other choices would send you to due to the people in question. ---

> [@annwu23](#): > > One long choice sequence, on the other hand: It’s also possible to nest multiple options under the same **`*if`** statement. This can help prevent bugs and keep your code more legible. ```choicescript *label bigchoice #General option 1 Text stuff #General option 2 Text stuff *if (ro1) #Option for RO 1 only Text stuff #Other option for RO 1 only Text stuff *if (ro2) #Option for RO 2 only Text stuff #Other option for RO 2 only Text stuff ``` ---

> [@ArchivistAlpha096](#): > > However, I can still, if I wish, put \*goto’s, correct? Correct — you can still put `*goto`s in choices (or fake choices). Implicit control flow just offers the _option_ of not putting them in a `*choice`. > [@Chris\_Conley](#): > > It’s also possible to nest multiple options under the same **`*if`** statement. This can help prevent bugs and keep your code more legible. I didn’t know this, thank you!
