So, I’m play-testing my game, as it seems I did not do quite enough before I put it up on the forum, and I am finding that a highest\_relationship variable is not triggering correctly.  
Right now, I have it set that t\_relationship is 10 above, with this format:

```
*if (highest_relationship ="l_relationship")
	*goto l_extract
*if (highest_relationship ="t_relationship")
	*goto t_extract
*if (highest_relationship ="d_relationship")
	*goto d_extract
*if (highest_relationship ="n_relationship")
	*goto n_extract

```

Despite the fact that right now T\_relationship is 60 and the rest are 50, it’s going to L\_extract.

Put ${highest\_relationship} just before your \*if statements.  
This will print out the current value of highest\_relationship. I suspect that its value will be l\_relationship for whatever reason and that will be why it goes to l\_extract.

If that is the case, then also print out the values of each relationship variable to see what those values are - this will confirm if either:

- l\_relationship is in fact the highest and you have an error somewhere causing l\_relationship to be higher than you expect or t\_relationship to be lower than you expect
- Your calculation of the highest relationship is wrong

Seems that I had put a \*gosub\_scene highest\_calc in there. A little confused, but if it works I guess.
