Grr...More restrictions found on the stats screen

The only thing I can see, is if, let’s say the choice is dependant on the update to be selected, like if you have a choice that says, costs a 100 gold, then you go into the stats screen and select break piggy bank and get 100 gold but still can’t select that option.

Yup. If you want to have an instantaneous effect on the main game, you’d have to do *redirect_scene and try to jump back to the right spot.

@MutonElite

What happens with the original position you were in, in the main game then, is it forgotten/overwritten?

Yes, because it is actually ambiguous. e.g. in this code:

hello
*page_break
*set health -20
Now what?
*fake_choice
  #Punch
  #Kick

If you drink a health potion right before punching, it’s not clear whether you’d want to “go back” to the *page_break line (and re-run the *set command) or go back to just the *choice (skipping “Now what?”). So the author has to decide exactly where to go back.

@MutonElite

*goto_scene ${chapters} ${labels}

*goto_scene doesn’t accept ${} variables. I think you’d have to do it with *if/*elseif. But I think something like that would work.
