Can someone explain gains to me?

[b.e.c.c.a]

I’m using gains for my story but I don’t know how
I have to use it for sexuality choices, or else it doesn’t work. Heres what it is:

NARRATOR
You are in to:
choice (lover)
“Girls”{
NARRATOR
Your love interests will be female.
NARRATOR
Lets get started!
gain date_girls
goto girl_story
} “Boys”{
NARRATOR
Your love interests will be male.
NARRATOR
Lets get started!
gain date_boys
goto boy_story
} “Girls and Boys”{
NARRATOR
Your love interests will be mixed.
NARRATOR
Lets get started!
gain date_both
goto both_story
}

How can I use them again later in the story in the second episode and so on? I don’t exactly know what elif or else things are and all the things I’ve read on how to use them have been confusing.

Hello, I can help

@b.e.c.c.a

NARRATOR
You are in to:
choice (lover)
“Girls”{
NARRATOR
Your love interests will be female.
NARRATOR
Lets get started!
gain date_girls
goto girl_story
} “Boys”{
NARRATOR
Your love interests will be male.
NARRATOR
Lets get started!
gain date_boys
goto boy_story
} “Girls and Boys”{
NARRATOR
Your love interests will be mixed.
NARRATOR
Lets get started!
gain date_both
goto both_story
}

So under this, for episode 1, you’d write:

label girl_story
#paste whole story line here for dating female love interests.
goto merge_story

label boy_story
#paste whole story line here for dating male love interests.
goto merge_story

label both_story
#paste whole story line here for dating male and female love interests.
goto merge_story

label merge_story
#paste ending credits here

That is episode 1, I’m about to show you what you do for episodes 2 and up

Also I noticed you wrote lets, but it is let’s (Let us) so it becomes Let’s get started/let us get started

Episodes 2 and up:

if (date_girls){

goto girl_story

}elif (date_boys){

goto boy_story

}else{

goto both_story

}

label girl_story
#paste whole story line here for dating female love interests.
goto merge_story

label boy_story
#paste whole story line here for dating male love interests.
goto merge_story

label both_story
#paste whole story line here for dating male and female love interests.
goto merge_story

label merge_story
#paste ending credits here

check the link below. Tara is great with coding and she explains it well.

Tara explains: Ifs, elses, gains, labels, gotos and the points system!

Author: Tara Star (TaraStar on the Forums, tarastarofficial on Instagram) Hi everyone! Me again today I’m going to go through some of the more advanced features of the Script Writer, and hopefully explain them clearly. Before reading on, I advise that you familiarise yourself with the advanced directing guide before hand, and you should at least have a knowledge of basic choices. Labels and gotos Before I talk about if/else systems, you need to be familiar with how to use labels and g…
