Okay so I know how the \*if variables work when true or false or the ones with percentage. But my question is the variable with names.

Examples

```choicescript
*fake_choice 
    #1
        *set meow "one"
    
    #2
        *set meow "two"
    
    #3
        *set meow "three"
    
    #4
        *set meow "four"
        
Blep blpe

Belap

*page_break 

Blep blep

*if meow "one"
    Meow
    
*if meow "two"
    Meow Meow
    
*if meow "three" or "four"
    Damn

```

Are these correct or do i need to put brackets? If the latter, in what format/ how?

Also yes, the meow variable has already been created

iirc for strings like this it’d be

```choicescript
*if (meow = "one")

```

Don’t cite me on it though

cause there’s also

```choicescript
*if (("$!!{meow}" = "ONE")

```

Oh wait what about the and/ or thing? It’s like this right:

```choicescript
*if (meow = "one") or (meow = "two")

```

</div>

```choicescript
*if ((meow = "one") or (meow = "two"))

```

it’s usually in pairs, like

```choicescript
*if (((meow = "one") or (meow = "two")) or (meow = "three"))

```

first ‘few’ parenthesis, ( ← these fellas, count how many variants are in a set. so

```choicescript
*if (((meow = "one") or (meow = "two")) or (meow = "three")) and ((woof = "four") or (bawk = "four"))

```

would give the text below of it’s either meow 1-3 AND woof or bawk are four.

And when you use number likes here, you can also use multireplace by making ‘meow’ a numeral variable

so instead of

```choicescript
*if (meow =1)

```

you can have

```choicescript
@{meow meow|meow meow|Damn|Damn}

```
