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…

[image] Minnow: I’m actually fairly fond of numeric gender variables working with multireplace primarily for that last reason. I’m this :+1:t4: [image] Minnow: Think about all the extra garbage variables or *if statements you need to properly keep track of things like… But I’m not thi…

Hello again, gang. Got a thought on those beloved if/else things. Will it work to have multiple qualifiers for an *if, such as this example: *if (alexi =1 and arlship < 6) And follow-up to that, does it matter if you do three or four *ifs before you finally have an *else? Or is the *else itself …

[image] hustlertwo: Will it work to have multiple qualifiers for an *if, such as this example: *if (alexi =1 and arlship < 6) I believe each condition for the *if statement has to be in its own set of parentheses like so: *if (alexi =1) and (arlship <6) does it matter if you do three or fo…

Yes, you can do multiple qualifiers, but you have to put parentheses around them in a very specific way. *if ((alexi = 1) and (arlship < 6)) There are a few more examples in this thread , with more variables. In some places, just making an additional variable might make more sense.

Else and elseif are not vital anymore and you can live without hem both. I think it’s good to understand how they work so you can read your own code better so let’s take a look at examples with and without them. First, with *else and *else_if *create fruit "apple" *create fruit colour "red" You …

Just a topic for thought. [image] *if - *if versus *if - *else/*elseif ChoiceScript Help Yo Everyone I was tinkering a 'lil bit with my story, then found something that intrigues me, then go to the wiki But I found no much regarding *if paired to another *if commands We…

More fun questions potentially involving *if: I want to have the big bad for this story introduced by listing off what the MC has done up to this point. My ideal would just be to have a big long list of *if statements involving each variable tied to these things (for example, transportcrash if you …

[image] hustlertwo: But each *if has to have a *goto at the end, right? Only if you also use *else or *elseif. If you’re using *if by itself, you don’t need *goto commands. *if evil_count > 0 "Well, let's see. *if evil_deed_1 You punched this guy. *if evil_deed_2 …

*if statements, without an *else or *elseif, do not need a *goto. You look at the man *if met_john = true you know as John and say hello. For opening *randomtest and *quicktest, Iuse Firefox. (I installed Firefox purely for Choicescript testing as it seems to be the best browser). Right click a…

Great! That should mean I can just do a long line of *if statements, it’ll display as many as are relevant to their playthrough, then insert a *goto at the end to move on to the next part. Thought it would be harder than that, honestly. Thanks @andymwhy and @Minnow for the help with that and the …
