So, what I’m trying to do is compare a variable to itself (duh) and see if there is a change, then if there is a change, use that change to cause some *if text to appear. Currently, the only way I know how to do this would be… *if (Var <= blah) *goto blah *else *goto blah2 *label blah *set blah +5 *goto blahblah *label blahblah TEXT *label blah2 DIFFERENT TEXT But this isn’t particularly efficient (I think) and also isn’t really comparing the change in the variable, just seeing if it fits a certain parameter beforehand. Is there a better way to do this? Edit: For added context, I am looking to see if the MC heals for this text. The healing is the important bit here as the actual health before or after healing is unimportant.

*if (Var <= blah) HEAL TEXT *set blah +5 *else DIFFERENT TEXT CONTINUATION TEXT That’s how i would do it, no need for labels, just use intendentions!

Hi! Ideally you don’t want to make a bunch of different threads for questions. If you’re not yet ready to have your own WIP thread, or you don’t want to junk that thread up with technical queries, you can try this one: [image] Ultimate Noob Coding ChoiceScript Help I struggle to thing of someone more noobish than myself when it comes to coding anything. So I figured one thread may be best to contain all my inane queries. First up: I decided to try and code the first little intro chapter I have, but I literally have gotten stuck on the first line. I’ve never used Notepad++ before, and the line I’m typing seems to go on forever. Should I hit return to jump to the next, and if so, how often? It’s a good catch-all place for coding questions. Alternatively, use the monthly Writer Support threads, since people there likely have the answers you seek.

I have a WiP thread. Would I just make a noob thread for my own uses or do I post in your thread or…?

Well, it isn’t really mine. I made it but it’s been used by a bunch of people. If you want to make your own that’s probably fine, since that would still contain everything in one thread.
