Best way to write out a MC's personality traits?

[vickybee]

I tried seeing if there was another forum talking about this but couldn’t find much, only one where someone briefly mentioned using gains? But I wondered if the point system could be used. What do you think is the easiest way?

The simplest way is to use gains because you can refer back to them at any part of the story. For example:

NARRATOR
What are you going to do?

choice
“Lie” {
gain you_lied
Outcome goes here
}
“Be truthful” {
gain you_were_truthful
Outcome goes here
}

To refer back to the choice the reader made, use this format:

if (you_lied) {
Outcome goes here
}else{ (you_were_truthful)
Outcome goes here
}

You can reduce or add the points the character may have with another, by just adding @CHARACTER -1 or @CHARACTER +1

You can also use labels instead of gains but you will have to have separate coding for each of the choices, and it takes a little longer.

I hope this helped!!
