Hii guys, I’m probably blind but I can’t find anywhere how to make opposite stats. Like those percent stats where (mostly) in the beginning it is 50/50 each and by making choices it goes either way: like childlike/mature good/evil independent/dependent. ![afbeelding](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/choiceofgames/original/3X/f/1/f14793e0dc6ecc9ac72f44a37ebbd4477829ec4c.jpg) This effect is what I want achieve 🙂 Anyone who can help me and give me an example? Thanks alot! a newly trying coder 😉 ---

It’s ``` *stat_chart opposed_stat var1 Text2 Or *stat_chart opposed_stat var1 Text1 Text2 ``` I think (on mobile atm, cant check quickly) First will display as Var1name vs text2 The other as Text1 vs text2 ---

When you create an opposed pair, you only need to create a variable for one of each of the pairs and you use text labels on each side. The way they’ve done your example is: Create the variables for each of the stats in startup.txt ``` *create stat_impulsive 58 *create stat_sarcastic 58 *create stat_friendly 59 *create stat_easygoing 43 ``` And in choicescript\_stats.txt they’ve used: ``` *stat_chart opposed_pair stat_impulsive Impulsive Cautious opposed_pair stat_sarcastic Sarcastic Genuine opposed_pair stat_friendly Friendly Stoic opposed_pair stat_easygoing Easygoing Stubborn ``` ---

Just have the \*create Start out with 50 (or whatever you wish it to start at) ---

hi, just popping in have u tried making sure theres no space between opposed\_pair and stat chart and arranging them so that the opposed\_pair is under the t for stat\_chart? i know indentation is super important… like edit: sorry super weird how it wont allow me to do spacing properly… ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/choiceofgames/original/3X/2/a/2a87fc2b343570e58ec4ee8145f4c007ffc55571.jpg) ---

You don’t need a blank line between \*stat\_chart and the following \*opposed\_pair and when you’re indenting, use either spaces or tabs, never try to use both. ---

perfectly aligned, no (faulty) spaces and starting under the T of stat, with or without space between \*stat\_chart there keeps being a fault in the system 😓 ---

Got to be something in your files. I didn’t just type that out on the fly, I created it in a test file I use in CSIDE and checked that it worked before copying and pasting it in to the forum. Can you show us exactly what you have in your choicescript\_stats file. Put ``` above the text before you paste it in so it formats correctly. ---

I will do it but I dont think it would turn up with much, did not put a lot before it since I’m still trying to form the beginning stats :s but if you think it will help. (this is what you mean right?) btw I appriciate it a lot that you help so much and I’m sure you put your time into this 🙂 ![afbeelding](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/choiceofgames/original/3X/4/5/4575d20babcb959e3995424bf635b0be124d42b8.png) ---

You pasted an image. We can’t see what’s going on with that. Can you just copy the text from the file onto the clipboard and paste it in as a forum post. Put ``` above it so it formats as text. If you’re on windows, CTRL+A selects everything in the editing window, CTRL+C copies the selection onto the clipboard then create a reply in this thread, add the ``` followed by a return and then use CTRL+V to paste the code in. ---

Thanks, that’s better. It’s easier to see what’s going on there 😉 opposed\_pair needs to be indented. It should look like: \*stat\_chart [INDENT] opposed\_pair stat\_impulsive [INDENT][INDENT] Impulsive [INDENT][INDENT] Cautious Choicescript is like Python in the way it uses indents to identify code blocks. Correct indentation is essential. ---
