Can someone help me understand the point system please

[Ryder14]

Like the title mentions, I need help understanding the point system. I’m using it in my 2nd story that I’m currently coding and well in Episode 2 the readers have the chance to gain 2 points for either the MC (HALEY) or her LI (ACE).
I just don’t know how to code it properly; I need help with:
HALEY 2 ACE 0
HALEY 1 ACE 1
ACE 2 HALEY 0
ACE 1 HALEY 1

I currently have it as this but it’s wrong, I played all outcomes and I messed up my coding somewhere along the line. Can someone help me correct it please?

For the easiest way to understand and make it work I’d suggest you @Dara.Amarie 's website!

Here’s her thread too!

DARA’S GUIDE: The Points System

Please visit my website for more templates and guides! https://www.dara-amarie.com/ Each character has their own set of points and they all start with a score of 0. Readers can gain or lose points depending on what choices they make. You can add points to your actual characters, or you could create a new character and name it ROMANCE, FRIENDSHIP, HONESTY, etc. and create a point system for each category. There are 2 ways to add/subtract points: right next to their name when they speak a si…

I used her guide, but I’m having trouble showing the points like how I want them to appear

[Seep_Mukta]

Umm, when you use the [Character number] in dialogue, I don’t think there’s a need for that code above you can try removing it once.
You want to give them the chance to gain points by a choice or separately?

I’m kinda bad at explaining but I’ll try my best

HOW TO: Show character points WITHOUT if/elif/else - the simpliest method

full credit for discovering this method goes to @athoynilima!!! I’m just making a tutorial for it. So you probably know the method of showing points by using if/elif/else. But there is a much easier method which will be handy especially if you have a lot of points reader can gain. So let’s say you have points named LOVE and the reader can have anything between 1-50 points . So first you have to discover the CHARACTER NUMBER. This…

this guide might help!

By choice, so in the episode there’s a shower scene where they gain a point for either character. Then later on in the story again by choice to gain another point making it a total of 2 points they can possibly gain for this episode

[Seep_Mukta]

Oh alright! Let me write it down for you!

choice
“YELL” {
@ HALEY +1

the dialogue you wish to input

} “Sass” {
@ ACE +1

the dialogue you wish to input

}

[Ryder14]

That’s what I have done for each scene containing the points. Sorry if I’m not clear enough I’m trying to show the total points you gained at the end of the episode but I get this

1 Ace point, 1 Haley point

I picked Yell and Spare her life

Supposed to be 2 Ace points but I’m not getting that

I picked Sass and Spare her life

I get the same thing if I were to pick the other options

[Seep_Mukta]

Did u use the if/elif code too here?

[Seep_Mukta]

You can try:

NARR
You have [Haley’s Char no.] points with Haley.

NARR
You have [Ace’s Char no.] points with Ace.

Just this. And remove the if/elif/else code for once

AND if there weren’t any points system in the previous chapter, put
@ HALEY=0
@ ACE=0
at the very beginning of the chapter

[Ryder14]

I started to use the point system in episode 2 which is where I’m currently stuck with this problem. So the easier way to show how many points the reader has is to get rid of the if/elif and just use a Narrator speech bubble?

Edit: in the beginning of the chapter I did include
@ Ace =0
@ Haley =0

[Seep_Mukta]

Yes love, just the character number is sufficient. Try it once

[Ryder14]

Okay I’ll try it out in bit, I’ll let you know if it works Thanks for explaining it to me by the way as well

[Seep_Mukta]

No worries, I hope it works out!

[Ryder14]

It worked! Thank you once again

[Seep_Mukta]

yaaayy thank god! You’re very welcome!
