hi all, i’ve been awake all night working on my game but I’ve ran in to a brick wall. How do I allow someone to make a number of choices from the same list without them being moved to the next section of the game? and also, how can I limit the number of choices they make from that list? thanks i…

At the beginning of the scene, set *disable_reuse globally Alternatively, set *disable_reuse on each option in the multiple-choice list they’re selecting from After the player picks an option, give them a bit of text telling them they can pick additional options Add a *goto before_question at this …

If its only for that chapter I use *temp variables otherwise make the variables global. Here’s how i would do it off the top of my head. (As an example.) Eg. (Under start up) *create agility 0 *create intelligence 0 *create strength 0 *create dexterity 0 (At the top of the scene/chapter) *te…

Thanks for that but would you mind explaining to me how to implement steps six and seven? I didn’t really understand those two steps. Sorry… It’s just that I have only begun using choicescript yesterday.

Try something like this: *temp pick_count 0 *temp pick_left 3 *disable_reuse *label pick *if pick_left < 3 Select ${pick_left} more options *if pick_left = 3 Select ${pick_left} options *fake_choice #1 *set pick_count + 1 *set pick_left - 1 #2 *set …

If fantom’s explanation didn’t clarify it, here’s the exact code I was thinking of: *temp hats_bought 0 What hat do you want to buy? (You can buy more than one, but only have space in your wardrobe for three at the most.) *label hats_for_sale You buy... *choice #A fancy hat. *set hats_bou…

To confuse matters, there’s also a way of making multiple choices. Scroll down the linked page page to ‘multiple choice’. [image] Choice The*choice command is the fundamental command of ChoiceScript, defining the options by which the player interacts with the story. Ordinary (non-conditio…

Whaaaaat? How did I not realize this existed? I have some new homework to do. The way I just stated works for multiple items in the same category, but to choose three categories of things at once? Bananas.

It’s a little known, and rarely implemented feature. I’ve never used it myself. The way you explained is the standard way to do things.

Thanks for the help. One last question though: say if I have *create name “”, how do I use that label for a number of people? say if character one was called Jack and character to was called Gill, how will Choicescript know what character I’m talking about. for instance you can’t write: You te…

You need different variables. Like, if Jack is a dairy farmer and Gill is a haberdasher, you could create a variable {df_name} and one called {h_name}. Or number them (name1, name2, etc.) Whatever works to keep them straight, but no, you can’t use the same one.

When creating a list, how can you allow someone to make more than one choice from it?

I’m sure @Reaperoa’s guide is better at it. I’ve a guide specifically on gender things though.
