Yeah, did some messing around, looks like \*selectable\_if is not the problem here. The game, for some reason, doesn’t want to see owner\_info as a variable. 😃 ---

If clearing your cache doesn’t work, I would suggest deconstructing the choice, maybe making it a \*goto or to a fresh label, and putting the stat changes in there. At this point, it may just work. ((not gosub that’s dumb)) ---

@N1GHTMAR3 woah. What program are you doing your writing in? It’s not programmer’s notepad, is it? If it is, how do you get it to color commands? I thought you can only do that with supported languages. ---

I have the same problem, but your solution did not work for me. saved+closed+private window (also deleted the cache). It’s a temp variable called antler\_length ``` *temp antler_legnth 0 *comment antler legnth based on this https://goo.gl/C6vHGi *image images/header1.svg You watched as Maelyn got... a whole bunch of text ``` and, several hundred lines later, ``` *label alpha and your.. *set Mylist Mylist & ("^" & {antler_length}) *choice #pale skin *set Mylist Mylist & "^pale" ``` ---

I think it might be a typo in the first ‘antler\_length’; the ‘g’ and the ‘n’ are transposed. ---

I’ll signify your typo so it will embarrass you more 😈 > [@Twiger\_Fluff](#): > > `*temp antler_legnth 0` * * * About the program that can do syntax highlighting, it’s Notepad++ Yes. It can highlight CScript codes (you can create custom lang for it). Heck, it pretty much highlight everything and the program can be modified to the ground. Or just use [CSIDE](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/cside-the-choicescript-ide/27622/). It’s basically Notepad++ built specifically for CScript. ---

Nope, it’s choicescript IDE, the web version. 😃 Edit: I’m using choicescript IDE currently, but I think you were remarking about the notepad++, sorry got confused there. ---
