Advanced script help

Basically similar to that featured story where fire is a kind of currency, mine is trophies…

They earn trophies based on choices and can use it for extra special scenes…

First one:

    MARCUS (talk_sit_reassure)
Aviator, c'mon wake up.

@MAIN is yawn_bored

    MAIN (talk_sit_ankles_crossed)
Yes, Grandpa?

    MARCUS (talk_sit_sheepish)
I have an idea,

    MAIN (talk_sit_ankles_crossed)
Spill the tea, prehistoric sis.

@MARCUS is talk_repulsed AND MAIN is laugh_crack_up

readerMessage In this story you spend ’s on exclusive choices within the story.

readerMessage You can earn by how you play in the competition.

@MARCUS is eyeroll AND MAIN is talk_sit_neutral_arms_crossed

    MARCUS (talk_think)
We could get an advantage over the competition if we intimidate them,

    MARCUS (talk_sit_reassure)
What better way to intimidate them by dressing up in matching outfits?

@MAIN is admire

#HERE IS WHERE I NEED TO DO A TROPHY CHOICE BUT IM CONFUSED BY IT

Anyone have any ideas

Edit: oof I need to go to bed, I’ll check for replies in school tomorrow

Jess2112 · October 27, 2019, 10:27am

You can add them to a person

So…

@MAIN = 0

#add to the value during the script#

choice
“Have matching outfits” {
@MAIN -1
@MAIN changes into —
@MARCUS changes into —
} “Don’t bother with the outfits” {
}

Something along those lines

X.O.IcySnows · October 27, 2019, 11:05am

I just woke up and decided to check, how do I stop them from accessing the outfit if they don’t have enough trophies?

Jess2112 · October 27, 2019, 11:09am

You could do an if statement.

#you will have to put in this#

choice
“Do something to get a trophy” {
gain trophy
} “Don’t get a trophy” {
}

#then add in this#

if (trophy) {
#open the choice#
} else {
MARCUS
Not enough trophies
)

X.O.IcySnows · October 27, 2019, 11:12am

So if MAIN = 10 would work?

Jess2112 · October 27, 2019, 11:19am

I haven’t tried it before so I don’t know. But I think it might.

JemU776 · October 27, 2019, 4:49pm

Check out:

You can create a character called TROPHY and assign points to them. Test on the app as you gain/lose points and keep track of everything in a notebook.

See your points/reset them/set them manually to test other outcomes: HOW TO: Reset Story Progress + Bonus Stuff :blob_sun:

You can use the if/elif/else coding to list the points the characters got. You can also show bonus scenes.

Other threads to check out:

You can check out Dara’s website on helpful resources such as remembering past choices.

If you still need more help, feel free to reach out to me here or PM me

@Jess2112 @JemU776

I am getting errors, it keeps saying the gains don’t exist.

Also I changed trophies to win points because the trophy emoji keeps removing itself from my script

The gains have to be in the choice

X.O.IcySnows · October 27, 2019, 11:45pm

But I need them where they are, because the gain brings them back to the start of the choice when they say no and take them to the end of the script if they pick yes?

X.O.IcySnows · October 27, 2019, 11:46pm

@Dara.Amarie

Dara.Amarie · October 27, 2019, 11:48pm

You’re confusing gains for labels.

X.O.IcySnows · October 27, 2019, 11:48pm

Wait, gains AREN’T labels? O-o

Dara.Amarie · October 27, 2019, 11:49pm

No, gains and labels are 2 separate things. gains (also known as flags) are for remembering choices. Labels are paired with “goto’s” to go to a certain spot in your script.

X.O.IcySnows · October 27, 2019, 11:50pm

right, mkay lemme see if that fixes it. Thankyou dara!

Yep, it fixed my errors! Thank you so much again dara and oof I am dumb.
