All this is well and good, but I feel like the things that helped me the most while doing my game so far has been visuals and learning with them. Namely the guide by RE Towers and this second one by I think @FairyGodfeather. I will link both as always. It is my policy to give as many people the links so it’s easier for them in the future:
Link 1: https://retowers.neocities.org/CSGuide/CSGuide.html
Link 2: A Basic Tutorial on Name, Relationship and Gender Variables
I live for both of these.
Edit: I notice you are talking about *if statements so I’ll include my favorite thread about that.
Here: *if - *if versus *if - *else/*elseif
It might be a bit confusing so I’d read through the entire thread a few times, but I haven’t had an *if issue since.
