Var unchanged in *if tables (hacked around the problem)

Game Development ChoiceScript Help
1

Rather long code but, I have the log that displays the code in the section I am running so I can check changes quickly. I have three *if tables that are chosen from a rand roll.The problem seems a var is not being changed in the second and third table. I have change the order around on which table is called first. Whichever table is first works without a hitch, second and third table will not change the var if the random roll is 8 or below. I have run this at least 50 times tracking the var and results in a notebook to see if it was something I was missing.The code below is what I started with. I even broke the code up over three pages along with a few other variations of the code still same results. Any Ideas what I am doing wrong or is this a CS bug? Thanks.

Gosub to your dice rolls from the clothing stops that should fix your problem. As I do not know what the code looks like prior to your code it is better to use a gosub to a random (especially if you use that dice rolls a lot like d20, d10, or whatever numbers you to random a lot with.

I gosub from startup then return then goto_scene p_1 that gives the choice to goto shop location then shopping. If I gosub from the shop names would keep changing.

While what you suggest would not work for my mad purposes but a thought did manifest for a check for unchanged various before continuing. Won’t be able to test my theory for a day or two but thanks for the thought. :smile:

Manage to hack around the problem. Does not really resolve the issue per say but works around it nicely.
