Lost "Adult" Child in the "Character Customization Code" Isle

Game Development ChoiceScript Help
1

I’m having trouble with coding. I am someone who loves to write, but the last time I coded anything was chatting in the late 90s by typing text format codes into java chat site.

I have spent 3 hours trying to create a character creation page. I am open to any suggestions, or if someone wants to do a collaboration for a game so I can get back to actually writing a story again.

:sob:

I am lost and need help adult supervision on this.

The error I’m getting is: 0character line 16: Non-existent variable ‘n1’

My code looks like this:

Would you like to customize your character?

*choice
	#No
		*finish
	#Yes
		What is your character's name?
		*choice
			#Ryan (M)
				*set n1 to Ryan
			#Kyro (M)
				*set n1 to Kyro
			#Eva (F)
				*set n1 to Eva
			#Lyse (F)
				*set n1 to Lyse
			#July (NB)
				*set n1 to July

Need

*create n1 “” (in the startup file).

Then use the code

*set n1 “Eva” (or whatever name it is).

This might be of help if you’re unfamiliar with Choicescript.

While this is more a style recommendation that you don’t necessarily need to adhere to, common practice at the moment is to allow players to set their name and gender separately. :slight_smile:

Thank you guys so much. I have gotten past the information. :slight_smile:

I was able to complete getting the name recognized. I guess my issue is I didn’t know the proper code and I didn’t want to put “*finish” because I wanted a series of questions under one file. It is going to be so much easier just putting a series of 5-7 questions as individual files.

Thank you for all your help.

Are you talking about putting individual choices in separate scene files? You don’t need to do that. You can just put all the choices in one scene file. :slight_smile:

I often suggest that code rookies try this thread where a bunch of this forum’s finest coached me up from being the titular ultimate noob into a proud and published moderate noob.

thank you, I thought *finish, finished the scene, not the question.
