Alright, so I’ve ran into another wall. Again(I seem to have a knack for breaking things). this is my startup code: *title The Tainted *author A.G. a.k.a Silhuetta *scene_list startup prologue visionfire This is all indented correctly… and then we go down to startup line 12, where it says the e…

*create himher "him" *create himher "her" *create hisher "his" *create hisher "her" *create manwoman "man" *create manwoman "woman" *create heshe "he" *create heshe "she" *create boygirl "boy" *create boygirl "girl" *create mistermiss "Mister" *create mistermiss "Miss" *create himselfherself "himsel…

[image] Silhuetta: *create race “” I thought this causes an error.

Hmm, that’s strange. I’ve run CS with that code before, and it’s never gave me trouble until now. So you’re saying: *create himher "" *create hisher "" *create manwoman "" *create heshe "" etc, etc, and just set the variables down the line? @Zolataya, I’ve ran the code, and it doesn’t seem to be…

Nah, that should work fine. I use that method for my WiP’s all the time. [image] Silhuetta: etc, etc, and just set the variables down the line? Yes, that is what I’d do. You could set it as either one or the other beforehand though, if that eases your mind, or substitute it with “Unknown”. T…

well, I am a novice still. I use the “unknown” method. it makes it simple for blondes like me. :dolphin:

Gah, this is confusing. My *sm_init never gave me trouble before, but I think that it’s causing the problem. When I take it out,it works, but when I try to put it back in…things get messy. *title The Tainted *author A.G. a.k.a Silhuetta *scene_list startup prologue visionfire *sm_init taint…

Now that I’m thinking about it, no, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying, only create the variables you need once. As it is now you’re basically creating one variable, but trying to call it two different things at the same time. I imagine that’ll come back to bite you in the rear in the long run. …

I don’t use the save system plugin, so can’t advise on what *sm_init might be doing to your code. But Cecilia’s right: if you try to create a variable that you’ve already created, the game will crash. You can’t create “himher” on line 12 and then create it again on line 13. Instead, when you crea…

I got the following code from several locations: #Male *set mc_isfemale false *set mc_malefemale "male" *set mc_manwoman "man" *set mc_menwomen "men" *set mc_boygirl "boy" *set mc_fathermother "father" *set mc_brothersister "brother" *set mc_husband…

This is what I’ve set my code to now: *create full_name "" *create firstname "John" *create lastname "Doe" *create gender "Unknown" *create hisher "his" *create heshe "he" *create himher "him" *create himherself "himself" *create boygirl "boy" *create mistermiss "mister" *create manwoman "man" *cre…
