Setting genders and choices

[EazyE]

I can’t figure out how to create labels/variables etc. I have read the user guide several times and it is quite confusing and not directly clear. If I want to set genders, have previous choices affect later choices, can it be put into laments terms how to write that out?

I wrote a tutorial on this.

A Basic Tutorial on Name, Relationship and Gender Variables

I’ve been working on a very basic tutorial to try and explain how you create and set name, gender, and a few things about relationships. It may have errors. If it does please point them out and I’ll fix them. I’m not even sure if it makes sense so I’d appreciate input on that. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vlhshjgo4psrv3t/tutorial.txt You can copy and paste it into CJW’s amazing IDE https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7840892/CJW/choicescript/tools/IDE/main.html to see how it works. I think next…

Also Reaperoa wrote a guide.

The Beginners Guide to ChoiceScript

So, any long time member may know that I made a ChoiceScript Guide. Well after so long and so many iterations, I’m closing in on completing it. My intentions with this guide is to create something that, no matter your level of skill or computer knowledge, it can teach you the basics of ChoiceScript. For me to consider it truly ‘done’ though, I want to make sure it includes every thing that any aspiring ChoiceScript writer may want.

thanks i will look into this. its rather difficult being that this site was suggested to me to do as a writer and nothing mentioned that i would have to be the one to do the coding/programing. i was under the impression, i write the story with the choices and it’s created into the game, not me doing the coding work

*create gender "none"
*fake_choice 
    #I am a girl
        *set gender "Female"
    #I am a boy
        *set gender "Male"
*if gender ="Male"
    I am a male

If you want something even simpler you might want to try Twine.

Choicescript is designed specifically for writers. The coding is really simple once you get to grips with it, however there is that initial difficulty bump.

so if i have a starter question with 3 choices and each choice leads to the 2nd question, how is that written out
