I’m working on a ChoiceScript project and need help with allowing players to select multiple ethnicities/races. I want the selections (e.g., African American and Latino) to be stored together and displayed like “African American, Latino.”

The problem is, I can’t figure out how to append multiple values to a single variable without overwriting them or causing issues.

Any suggestions on how to correctly combine multiple choices into one variable?

Thanks in advance!

Firstly, welcome! Secondly, it seems that what you want to do is string concatanation (“adding” two strings together). Take a look on the wiki page about it.
