Just curious if it is possible to add a new stat later into a game. when i try to create a new stat it says it can only be done in the startup file. but i dont want it to be shown until you make the choice that creates the stat. i.e. become a wizard and gain magic stat.
You can.
Just code *create magic 0 and never mention them until you need to get it to show up.

thanks i thought i had tried that. so when i get to the choice that creates the skill how do i set it to show the skill in the stats?
In its simplest form, the code would look like this
*if magic > 0
*stat_chart
percent Magic
Of course, this wouldn’t work if you still want [Magic] to show up at zero, or maybe in the case of a non-mage gaining magic stat.
A more “secure” alternative would be
*if job = "mage"
*stat_chart
percent Magic
ugh sorry im still learning all this coding and how it works. is there by chance videos on youtube i can watch in my free time?

I think I remember one vid everyone would suggest, but the name escapes me. Try searching it in YT, it has caricature of a man with glasses as its thumbnail.
Otherwise, try these

maybe he could help you with the details you still didn’t grasp?

Choicescript IDE? I write my ones in it!
It’s an amazing tool. You can run and test anything direct from you Dropbox (browser version) or your PC (PC version) minus *image.
I usually have two of the same projects at the same time. One is the “stable” version, the other is were I write new chapters/ test new things before copy and paste in the other!
