How to implement a point system?

Game Development ChoiceScript Help

Hey im trying to make a game where in the beginning when creating your character you can get a set amount of points based on the difficulty level. It’s pretty much like what “Hero or Villain: Genesis” character creation system is like. So pretty much im asking do I have to manually go in for each choice and subtract the current number of overall points by the coat of the choice or is there a better way to do it.

I currently forgot the commands, but you create a variable for the points, and then subtract, go to the next choice and work with *ifs to check if you have enough points left
(sorry, I’m a bit out of the loop with the commands)

I’m not completely sure exactly what you’re asking for, but I threw together a template for how I’d do it:

*temp points 500
*label skill_choice
Current skills:
*if points = 500
    None
*if skill_a
    Skill A
    *line_break
*if skill_b
    Skill B
    *line_break

What skills do you want?

You have ${points} points available.
*fake_choice
    *if (not(skill_a)
        *selectable_if (points >= 20) #Skill A (20)
            *set skill_a true
            *set points - 20
    *if (not(skill_b)
        *selectable_if (points >= 50) #Skill B (50)
            *set skill_b true
            *set points - 50
    #Done
        *goto final_choice
*goto skill_choice
*label final_choice
Current skills:
*if points = 500
    None
*if skill_a
    Skill A
    *line_break
*if skill_b
    Skill B
    *line_break
Are you sure these are the skills you want?
*choice
    #Yes
        *goto story_continues
    #No
        *set points 500
        *set skill_a false
        *set skill_b false
        *goto skill_choice
*label story_continues

Yes this is what I’m talking about. Thank you I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out how to make this work. :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:
