Will the points gather over time? Let’s say over the span of at least 15 -20 episodes. What is the maximum integer possible for the points system?

I am having difficulty understanding… How do you get outfit choices to save? I need GIZELLE, LADY ALVIRA and LADY ALGROVE to have their outfits save…

If you want to do it using the point system here is how I’d do it:
I’d make the decision (is this the right outfit?) a nested choice for every outfit. I mean, instead of changing into an outfit and then going to the same next choice, you change into an outfit and get to a specific yes/no question which is only accessible through that outfit. Then you can give the Characters a specific amount of points after ‘yes’ was clicked.
Like:
label dress_start
“Blue dress” {
@CHARACTER changes into blue_dress
CHARACTER
Do I want to keep this?
choice
“Yes!” {
@CHARACTER=1
goto dress_end
} “No” {
goto dress_start
} #this one closes the ‘no’ choice
} #this one closes the ‘blue dress’ choice “Red dress” {
@CHARACTER changes into red_dress
CHARACTER
Do I want to wear this?
choice
“Yes” {
@CHARACTER=2
goto dress_end
} “no”
goto dress_start
} #this one closes the ‘no’ choice
} #this one closes the ‘red dress’ choice
label dress_end
In this example CHARACTER would have 1 point if the blue dress was chosen and 2 points if the red dress was chosen. You can add many more outfits this way and have each one given a different number of points. If you need to have the character wear the chosen outfit you do:
if CHARACTER = 1{
@CHARACTER changes into blue_dress
} elif CHARACTER = 2 {
@CHARACTER changes into red_dress
} else {
@CHARACTER changes into last_clothing_option
}
Something like that 
I hope that makes sense to you, I’m really bad at explaining stuff in english 
I’m fine with that… I actually put this in the wrong spot too however… I was trying to figure out how to get the choices to save/ carry over into the next episode… since I did not understand the template given by dara.marie… (Thankyou for your help though) :3

You’re mixing a choice with the if/elif/else code? Are you trying to create a choice or are you trying to remember a past choice?
A choice that would give the reader points. I’m thinking of adding a scene at the end that if she has enough friendship points, or something she can call one of her friends for help.
Remove the if/elif from that choice. The if/elif/else is only used for later on, you don’t mix it with the choice.
Hi,
For my newest story I’m planning to show a personality bar that reflects the personality of a character based on the decisions of the user.
Would it be possible to write a code like this (with the Boy & Girl example):
Boy has 6 points in total while Girl has 3
My code would look like this:
If (BOY - GIRL = 3) {
Then lorem ipsum
}
If (BOY - GIRL = 2) {
Lorem Ipsum
}
…
And so forth, since I can’t count the amount of points myself…
Thanks for your answer!
What are you trying to do? Are you subtracting the girl points from the boy points? The format you gave an example of will not work.
Thanks for your quick reply.
What I’m trying to do is having personality decisions with two options (e.g. introvert - extrovert). So i’d like to distract introvert from extrovert to see which one is bigger and by what margin which will have an influence on the plot
Is there a way to get this done or only like in the examples above?
Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to subtract character points from other character points.

Thank you so much!! I’ve been looking for a template for this in so long!
Do the points carry over episodes?
Yes they do
Alright thanks for replying
What would something like this CHARACTER<1 mean in the if,elif,else method?
