I’m having trouble with running my quicktest. You’ll see below what it is saying. The error I’m getting is: QUICKTEST FAILED Error: taking_photo line 56: Non-existent variable ‘0’ My code lat 56 looks like this: *set {current_learning} %+ology_change_mid In my game, people have interests. Thos…

I am having a related but different issues with this one: *comment sets the variable for raising this exhibits nostalgia level for the current exhibit variable name *temp nostalgia_var "nostalgia_"&{current_exhibit_var} *set nostalgia_var +1 The reader is in a museum visiting exhibits and taking p…

I’ve never used the code that way so I don’t know its limits and problems. What I would do is a gosub to another file with the code adding the nostalgia according to the exhibit value. I think it’s simpler and it sure would work with quickest and such. *comment current exhibit 1 = whales | 2 = din…

@Loudbeat Thank you for tackling this. I think I finally understand how to articulate my problem. I am trying to use a variable to contain the name of another variable and then act in its place. To use my LATEST challenge (a third one now, but it appears to be functionally working when running): …

[image] Barry_Joseph: Thank you for tackling this. No problem. maybe I would have helped more if I weren’t at work, but at least I served as a rubber duck :joy: As for your now working code, I don’t know if CSIDE likes it or not, as I said I’ve never used it that way, but as long as it works…

[image] Loudbeat: at least I served as a rubber duck Quack quack. :slight_smile: I am still having problem with the thing I posted in my first item: “Error: taking_photo line 56: Non-existent variable ‘0’” I am one month into learning CS, so this is all new to me. Since you recommended it, …

For sure. You don’t have to use the debug function from VSC. [image] New Choicescript extension for VS Code (2.0 now runs games!) Game Development I’ve released a new extension for VS Code , the popular programming text editor, that supports ChoiceScript. Along with synta…

Worth noting that you’re using the stuff that Dan prefaced with : “Probably only programmers will appreciate these. Beware! They add complexity without adding much value.” :slight_smile: Most of us, definitely including me, are non-programmers and have taken him at his word. But let me try to see…

CSIDE modifies very little around CS, it largely just hands off your code to the interpreter. Short of it being on an out of date version, it’s typically unlikely that the behaviour will differ to running it elsewhere. That’s not to say it can’t ever, but I’d be shocked if this was related. It soun…

@CJW @Havenstone Thank you both. You both gave me things to try. I figured the string variable/ numeric variable might be the source of the problem, but I think I found a different source of it. First, In startup.txt I set: *create current_learning "0" Then, in chapter1, I assign it a value, such…

For sure.

You don’t have to use the debug function from VSC.

This is the extension you need. I know nothing about Macs but I think you can get it from the store in VSC. then open the main folder of your game and you can test it by right-clicking on the tab and choosing the test

The same extension has the instructions.
