Can you use gains in if, elif, and else commands?

[RoseF]

I’m new to gains, and I have a question about using gains. Can gains be used in if, elif, and else commands? Would something like this work?

Let’s say the gains are “kitchen_proof” “kitchen_no_proof” “janitor_proof” “janitor_no_proof”

Would the code look like this?

if(kitchen_proof){

#kitchen_proof scene

}elif(kitchen_no_proof){

#kitchen_no_proof scene

}elif(janitor_proof){

#janitor_proof scene

}else{

#janitor_no_proof scene

}

I’m sorry if it’s confusing, I’m just new to using these commands. Thanks!

Yes! That’s correct (remember to make the character gain that flag first). You can also check out this:

2. USING FLAGS/GAINS

You can have your readers gain certain flags by just using the code: gain flag_name

Here is an example:

NARRATOR
What do you want to drink?

choice
“Orange Juice” {
gain orange_juice

} “Coffee” {
gain coffee

} “Water” {
gain water
}

TO REMEMBER THE ABOVE CHOICE, USE THE IF/ELIF/ELSE CODE WITH JUST THE GAIN NAME INSIDE PARENTHESES ()

if ( orange_juice ) {
[scene for orange juice here]

} elif ( coffee ) {
[scene for coffee here]

} else {
[scene for water here]
}

NOTES:

1. Once a flag is gained, you cannot “un-gain” it. So be sure that if you use this method with dressing games, you will need to put a “yes/no” choice inside each outfit option with the gain inside the “yes” choice. Click Here for a Dressing Game with Flags .
2. You also cannot use this method with customization templates. A customization template has choices that repeat so you can go back and keep changing your appearance and choosing multiple choices at once. Adding gains to all those choices will result in the reader gaining all of those gains after clicking on all the options.
3. Gain names cannot have spaces or special characters. They can only have letters, numbers, and/or underscores.
