So my story contains point system but lately whenever I have been trying to show my readers the points that they have gained , it is simply showing the character number , can anyone please help me ?

You have to write:

if (CHARACTERTHEPOINTSGOTO =1){

NARRATOR
You have 1 point with …
}

And you continue like that.

No. I have no idea how this works.

Like:

if (SPENCER =1){

NARRATOR
You have 1 point with Spencer.
}elif (SPENCER =2) {

NARRATOR
You have 2 points with Spencer.
} And you continue like that.

It will take time but then you can just copy paste in the next chapter.

You need to do this as @Paula_Writes said.

if (SPENCER =1){

NARRATOR
You have 1 point with Spencer.
}elif (SPENCER =2) {

NARRATOR
You have 2 points with Spencer.
}elif (SPENCER =3 ) {

NARRATOR
You have 3 points with Spencer.
}

And then you need to continue like that.

This is actually correct, it just may show up as the entire number for you on the previewer. For readers, the actually number will show up. No need to do all that work.

The character is seen as ‘unrecognized’ (even 0 points) when the character has null points, which is the reason you are seeing character numbers instead.

It only happens when you are testing it on the portal and you did not tap on a choice that gives the character points. Your readers may or may not experience this depending on their choices.

If you want to avoid readers from seeing character numbers, you may want to add a 0 point at the start of the story (episode 1). This is to ensure readers who do not gain any points from the start will be shown as 0 points rather than character numbers.
