[Help] Stat Description Issue

Game Development ChoiceScript Help
1

Hi much like many users, I am new to the ChoiceScript. After scrolling through many forums I couldn’t come across a fix for this issue so I’m posting it here.

I liked the idea from Choice of Robots how it would display a description next to wealth like so:
Wealth: 4 (Getting By)

Your Stats
    
  
*stat_chart
  percent Leadership
  percent Health
  opposed_pair Sane
    Mad
  opposed_pair Strength
    Weakness
  opposed_pair Bravery
    Cowardess
  
  text "Unknown"  Name
  text "Unknown"  Gender
  text Intelligence
  text Finesse
  text Contempt
  text Wealth Wealth : ${wealth} ${WealthTag} 
  text Renown
  text "Who?" Known as

Unfortunately The above code instead makes it display this:

Capturel

I just need to (re)move the additional number stat from “Wealth” that is shown.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance. :wink:

I think you dont need the text bit at most bits here.

Wealth : ${wealth} ${wealthtag}

Should do

3

Removing text comes with the error:

invalid line; this line should start with ‘percent’, ‘text’, or ‘opposed_pair’

and doing

text Wealth : ${wealth} ${wealthtag}

Displays this:
Capture2

4

What does your ${wealthtag} variable do? Just that by itself, I mean.

I removed the text before wealth, deindented, and put it out of the stat_chart

the ${WealthTag} Variable adds the description to it. I have it written in startup as:

*create WealthTag "(Getting By)"

*if Wealth = 0
  *set WealthTag "(Poverty-Struck)"

*if Wealth < 99
  *set WealthTag "(Getting by)"
  
*if Wealth > 100
  *set WealthTag "(Well Off)"
  
*if Wealth > 750
  *set WealthTag "(Wealthy)"
  
*if Wealth > 2000
  *set WealthTag "(Ludicrously Wealthy)"

The variable on it’s own works fine, it’s just trying to display it in the correct place.

This fixed it. Thankyou for the help!

Maybe this will help you figure out the problem.

I put this code in a startup file and got what you see in the screenshot.

*create wealthtag "(Getting By)"
*create wealth 3

Wealth: ${wealthtag} ${wealth}

So I’m guessing that you have some code that automatically puts a colon and a number after your wealthtag.
