Can you try using ``` at the top and bottom of your code so the indentation is preserved in the forum?

5

You have an if statement before you declared a variable.

6

Hmm, can you use the preformatted text tag so we can see the indentation?

The button looks like </> on the comment toolbar.

Other than that, I notice this one on your chocescript_stats

The code wonā€™t recognize &"smg_suppressed".
Instead, try using &"${smg_suppressed}".

smg_suppressed is not a string, so it will display ā€œfalseā€ or ā€œtrue.ā€

What error message are you getting? Can you post a screenshot?

It depends. Are you on a PC?

10

Use the print screen function to take the screenshot

12

13

On the forum. Thereā€™s a function to upload pictures.

I scooted it over here for you so itā€™d all be in one place. (:

What do you mean by ā€˜under variablesā€™? You only need to (and only are allowed to) *create variables in the startup.txt file. Once youā€™ve created a variable, you can *set it wherever you like, in any scene, to change the variableā€™s value.

well after some fiddleing around i can make the inventory be persistant on the choicescript_stat page or have it show up for a single scene in the actual story

to bad what i want it to do is show up in the inventory and then be able to remove it after i no longer need said item and while i suppose i could have it show up in the story it just doesnt look good.

I think you might want to take a look at this: Concatenation | ChoiceScript Wiki | Fandom

Iā€™m not too sure, but I think the problem here is the *set inventory & "smg_suppressed" part. Can somebody please correct me if Iā€™m wrong, but should this not be *set inventory inventory & "smg_suppressed"

To be honest, I donā€™t fully understand the problem just yet. Iā€™ll look at it again after some caffeine makes it way to my brain.

By ā€œshow up in the inventoryā€ do you mean when you click the stats screen?
And, are you trying to change gear from the stats screen?

Either way works fine. Theyā€™ll give a same result.
But ofc, *set bla "text"&bla will give a different one.
