Stat help

Game Development ChoiceScript Help

ok so not sure how to do something in choicescript.
the problem that im having is i can’t get the stats to show the name im not sure how to do it, i have read the wiki but i still have no clue. i keep getting told line 2: Non-existent variable ‘name’ when i click on the stat button
this is what i have in my stat txt file:
*stat_chart
text name

2

now you go to mygame.js inside the my game folder and add the stat under the stat chart there

3

almost at the end there is this thing it goes like this :


// Specify the default starting stats here

stats = {
   name: "unkown"
   ,sex: "unkown"
   ,swordfighting: 0
   ,archery: 0
   ,strength: 0
   ,intelligence: 0
   ,sky: 0
   ,sea: 0
   ,earth: 0
   ,weapons: "none"
   ,other: "none" 
};

// Specify the stats to use in debug mode

these are my stats for the game so u just have to put name and if ur going to let the player choose the name then do name: “unkown”

do u get wat iam saying ???

yep thank you thats really helped me

no prob and you might also want to do this otherwise the stats will show twice
after the stats there r debug stats

instead of keeping it like this:


// Specify the stats to use in debug mode

// debugStats = {
            name: "none"
   
};

// or just use defaults
// debugStats = stats

change it to:


// Specify the stats to use in debug mode

debugStats = {
        name: "none"
};

// or just use defaults
// debugStats = stats
