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…

I’ve just copied this from my reply to another thread, I’ve just changed the variable names to match yours. I’ve not tested my changes as I’m mean to be working, but the original worked - so just give me a shout if this doesn’t run and I’ll fix it up later. In your startup.txt you include these li…

I’m sorry, I think I used the wrong words. I don’t need a text variable, I will have different labels for it to goto which will each show unique text based on the highest stat (and if more than one tie, ideally that would go somewhere as well).

Sure. I just put in the ‘I am intimidating’ etc. as a placeholder for whichever logic you wanted to include. Change the scene logic above to something like this: Something happens! What happens next? *gosub_scene high_stat_calc *if Highest_stat_type = "intimidate" *goto initimidate_text *if …

@Sinnie ’s solution should work fine but I want to throw my two cents as well :grin:. check_highest_stat — startup.txt — *create high_result "" *create high_tie "" The variables high_result and high_tie are used to return the result of the function (sub-routine), supposing you’re not keeping it in…

Is there a beginners guide for “Character Creation”? I’m at the part of my story where the player is building their character, and I’m unsure about how to code pronouns into the story.

[image] How exactly do you get chosen pronouns to work? ChoiceScript Help I think I’m kinda getting the hang of the whole “*create” and “*set to” mechanic but then how do you get things to change in game? Like pronouns, the MC’s name, and such? I also wanted to add a few …

Hi, If I use the *gosub command, do I have to *return or can I just use a different *goto in the *label without returning? Will this gets me into trouble later on if I want to use a different *gosub? I hope this is clear

[image] Gosub ChoiceScript supports a simple form of subroutines. A subroutine is a section of code able to be accessed (using the *gosub command) where & when required at many different points within the same scene file. This essentially negates the need to... A…

You can also do recursion (not for the faint of heart). Be aware that, differently from other programming languages, “gosub” doesn’t create its own environment: make sure your variables in the subroutine don’t conflict with the rest of the code.

@Loudbeat I read that but just wanted to make sure I understand it as I am new to coding. @choicehacker So it seems to be no problem to *goto different scenes without returning to a gosub. Thanks
