I’m having trouble with coding my story to adapt to the pronouns of both an NPC and the MC. With the current way I have planned (a bunch of elseifs within elseifs) I’d end up having to rewrite every single paragraph 9 times for every single combination, then double that for romance/non-romance event…

I’m a little nutty about neat coding so I’ll try to help out to improve yours! *comment -------protagonist-------- *create name "" *create gender "" *create they "" *create them "" *create their "" *create theirs "" *create hair "" *create eyes "" *create skin_tone "" *comment --------internstats…

I think this thread will be helpful to you. [image] Gender and Pronoun Sample Code ChoiceScript Help Hey everyone! I’ve made an example startup file for randomising or choosing NPC genders, and PC pronouns including entering pronouns. You can find a playable version here …

and then there’s of course variables and subs for verbs and genderfluid characters

What are the r, es, re and ve systems for? I was confused about something similar with HannahPS’ too as well.

In my case it’s for verb agreements, so that onscreen you get “he reads”, “they read” rather than “he read”/“they reads”.

Alrighty, thanks for chiming in. I’m also super curious on how I set up the system for the *gosub command, and what commands I use to actually make use of the pronoun system you made. Thanks again in advance.

I think ellery’s way (also what I meant) is much easier now that multireplace is a thing. so all you need at bottom line are *create they "" *create them "" *create their "" *create theirs "" *create self "" *create plural false *create trans false *create gf false maybe add in addresses and titl…

Idk why but I can’t wrap my head around what the falses are used for and the way the @{mcvar girl|boy|child} works.

Multireplace is shortened version of *if *elseif where you can write all the phrases and commands in a single line. The syntax accepts either boolean or numeric as conditional checks: For true/false *if hungry = true eat *else not eat @{(hungry) eat|not eat} For numeric *if coin = 1 sa…

so even if I use multireplace I still need to use ifelse at the start?
