How do I make a stat_chart with changeable RO names?

[Nervous_Panda]

Hello! I am new to this, so hopefully I posted in the correct place.

For my issue, it’s as the title says. I made it so that the player can choose the gender of the RO’s, and thus the name changes accordingly. But how do I put that into a stat_chart, as it currently doesn’t seem to work with a changeable name format/I can’t figure it out?

I have the RO’s saved as *create RO_1 “Unknown” and *create RO_2 “Unknown” for their name change thingy in the startup, tested and it works by the way.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

There’s a couple of ways to do that.

You can either print the variable

${RO_1}

showing their set name. This would also work if the player picks a name for them.

Or use multireplace with the gender variable:

@{RO_1_gender Alice|Bob}
or
@{RO_1_gender Alice|Bob|Sam}

First example would have RO_1 be a true/false variable, with ‘true’ showing the first option (Alice) and being set to true when the RO is set to female.
Second example is a numeral variable with 1=female 2=male 3=neutral/non-binary.

In a stat_chart it’d look like this:

*stat_chart
  percent ro_1_stat ${RO_1}

or

*stat_chart
  percent ro_1_stat @{RO_1 Alice|Bob|Sam}

Hope that helps (option one is the easiest and most commonly used one)

Here’s another example of how what MeltingPenguins just showed you might look in your code.

*create RO_1 "Unknown"
*create RO_1_gender 1

My romance option is:
*choice
  #Female.
    *set RO_1 "Alice"
    *set RO_1_gender 1
    *goto RO_1_picked
  #Male.
    *set RO_1 "Bob"
    *set RO_1_gender 2
    *goto RO_1_picked
  #Nonbinary.
    *set RO_1 "Cley"
    *set RO_1_gender 3
    *goto RO_1_picked

*label RO_1_picked
I'm going to romance ${RO_1} because @{RO_1_gender she's|he's|they're} just so awesome.

(Note: Create RO_1_gender as 1, not 0, because the latter would make using it in multireplace later needlessly complicated.)

Thank you so much! It ended up working.

Thanks for the extra clarification! It ended up working when I tried it out.
