I have a question you all ! How do we put the name you type in a sentence ?

43

Hi @Suzuno_TheNekoGirl . I played your game. :slightly_smiling_face: So far, it goes smoothly.

Imho, you should ask a native English speaker to proofread your text. It sounds way too ā€˜foreignā€™ even to me.

To add the name in a sentence, you have to create a variable and use it with the $ command.

I recommend you to look at the different tutorials in this forum and take a look at the choicescript wiki here

I hope I have been helpful. Keep writing, your story will be awesome.

Thank you for the link ! I managed to understand how it worked !

Also, for the corrections, I donā€™t know anyone who can help me with it around me, so Iā€™m trying to correct it by myself but I donā€™t find enough corrections by myself.

You have been helpful, thank you ! If you find anything, I will gratefully take it !

Also, everyone, for the available version on Dashingdon, I was at 262 lines, now I am at 289. I mean in coding, not in lines of text.

Would you like me to release it now or at 300 or 350 ?

Also I still didnā€™t find a solution for the save commandā€¦

I have a lot of things that are NOT stucking me in the fact to write, BUT in the fact to make it really a game, I have a few. Because for now, there is not a lot of things where you can see itā€™s your own character in the game.

Stats

First of all, you know there is stats in my game. But the 2 choices already set in games, I mean the ones that are really text and not for a description of your character, have to help with the personnality of your character. But how ? I mean, I want to add or undo stat, by exemple if you choose to stay still instead of moving (Not in game) you will be more cautious ? Do you see what I mean ? I want to know how do I put more or less stats (numbers) in the game ?

Save

Yes, I still need help with that. I donā€™t find anything that I understand and that I can actually use to put a save system in game. I mean, itā€™s still better to keep your character details done and to come back at some REAL choices, right ?

Scenes

Do I have to put a lot of scenes, or do I write everything in the same scene ? I mean, do I use different scenes for different chapter ?

I improved the stats screens today, of course there is not a lot of things that changed since last time, because Iā€™m trying to change the stats with some choicesā€¦ But it doesnā€™t work so if anyone have an idea, Iā€™m all ears ! :sweat_smile:

Update a little time later, I add also a little of what follow the story, not a lot but still !

Have you ever tried code-diving? A good way to learn how to implement stats and variables is to look at actual examples you can draw insight from. Anything else, you can ask around on the threads for coding assistance. Thereā€™s a whole topic tag dedicated to the subject. :wink:

What is code-diving ? I have to say Iā€™m kind of trying everything by myself with what I find on the wiki x)

Sorry for the delayed response! :sweat_smile:

Though some authors donā€™t like their readers to do it, if thereā€™s a recent WIP youā€™ve read that makes pretty good use of stats, all you have to do to take a peek at the code structure is modify the url/web address by adding /scenes at the tail end, then tapping go on your browser.

You can look at how they formulate the ā€˜added stat pointsā€™ per choice, or even skipping on a stat change with the *fake_choice coding option. Thereā€™s also the stat check, which measures if you have enough, or too little to succeed in a challenge presented based on which stat the reader chooses to test.

Thereā€™s a lot to learn, but feel free to poke around in more than one WIP to see how multiple people do things, then decide from there. :wink:

Oh, donā€™t worry ! Take all your time to answer ^^
By the way I updated my game again, I will need people to test the stats before writing more !

Could you explain what do you mean by that please ?

(Iā€™m French soā€¦I donā€™t understand everything !)

57

I used google, so hereā€™s hoping it is coherent since I donā€™t really read any other language than English. :sweat_smile:

lā€™adresse Web telle quā€™elle est doit avoir /scenes ajoutĆ©es Ć  la fin pour accĆ©der au code du jeu des WIP sur dashingdon.

Hello there !

SO yes ! I wish for you to answer that poll please ! It will need me to work on it too so I rather ask now before I forgot x)

Also, I need other explanation for stats- I mean, all the choices you have now are done, the commands are done too ! BUT it doesnā€™t apply any changes in the stats when I test it, any idea ?

update 09/09/2022 : I will let this poll until the 15/09/2022, so donā€™t hesitate to vote ! for now, itā€™s the beginning option who win at 54% against 45% for the meeting option ! Also, I am at 7 characters made ! If you want more, tell me !

update 10/09/2022 : I manage to make the stats working ! The poll is like yesterday ! Itā€™s the beginning option who win at 54% against 45% for the meeting option !

update 11/09/2022 : I didnā€™t worked on things since yesterday, but now the meeting option is at 52% and the beginning option at 47% ! I upgraded the first post of my topic too !

update 12/09/2022 : The beginning option win at 55% against 44% for the meeting option !

update 13/09/2022 : The beginning option win at 57% against 42% for the meeting option !

update 14/09/2022 : The beginning option win at 58% against 41% for the meeting option !

Personally I think setting your ro preference before we meet the first one. It feels more natural instead of being thrown on us on the spot
