I am really struggling understanding the point system thing.
So I want there to be two categories
1 Family
2 Wiccan
I have already made characters under “Family” and “Wiccan” to add / subtract points in the script.
I also want there to be points with characters as well.
So like,
@John+1
my script
How do you show the reader they gained / lost points while in gameplay?
Check out this on the Points System: The Points System
And to show the reader they lost or gained a point, you can use a readerMessage.
Here’s a thread on how to add a readerMessage into your story: Reader Messages / Text Effects Guide Updates
You’d write
readerMessage <text>
And <text> would be replaced with what you want to appear.
Example:
readerMessage The MC has a crazy addiction to cupcakes.
Great!!! How do I use to points towards choices?
as @Dara.Amarie said on her thread:
GIRL (talk_flirt)
Hi, it’s nice to meet you.choice
“Be nice” {BOY (talk_happy_smile) +2
Such a pleasure to meet you!} “Be neutral” {
BOY (talk_neutral)
Oh hi.
@BOY +1} “Be mean” {
BOY -2 (talk_arms_crossed_angry)
Don’t talk to me.
}
You add the points after the choice not in the choice themselves.
What do you mean by add the points after the choice? TIA!
