Hi…so in my game I created a opposed pair of Confederate and Union and set Union at 100…what I can’t seem to do later on is change that…I tried ``` *choice #Long Live the Confederacy! *page_break *set Union -25 *goto confederacy #The Union Shall Prevail! *page_break *set Union -25 *goto Union ``` Also, for fun I took a jpg picture off of the internet and put it into my games folder while adding the code for it. However when I go to that spot where the picture should be, it only shows a tiny black box with a question mark in it… Thank you! ---

Opposed\_pair works the same as percent, you can’t ever set it to 0 or 100, it’s 1-99. And you’ll be using %+ and %- when you’re increasing/decreasing them. For opposed\_pair you ought to be starting at 50. Actually that’s a simplified explanation, but go for that for now. As for the jpg, I have no idea. Pictures go in the mygame folder. Edit: Also, in your example, both choices decreases union. ---

If you do want to have a number variable that goes from 0-100, you’ll need to set up a subroutine, using either \*gosub or \*gosub\_scene, in the latter you’ll need to create a text file for it. Something like this; ``` *set union +25 *gosub cap_stats *label cap_stats *if (union > 100) *set union 100 *if (union < 0) *set union 0 *return ``` This does work with percent and opposed\_pair as far as I know, unless some update broke it. ---

Best not to capitalize your variables – keep it all lower case. And you don’t need to follow a choice with a page\_break, that happens naturally. And like MutonElite said in his first response, the dynamics of opposed pair stats is designed for fairmath, which means no 0 or 100 – start with union at 99 if you want to begin the game with maximum union as the default, and write all stat changes with a % in front of them e.g. \*set union %+10 or \*set union %-50. ---

Thank you for the help @Havenstone and @MutonElite I set Union to 99 and Confederacy to 1 and it worked with me doing \*set Confederacy +blah blah instead… I also got the pictures to work by placing them again in the mygame folder…I think I was placing them in the wrong spot before… Thanks again!
