I’m confused, how do I fix this?

Remove the word “choice”

wait this exist?. i need to use this in my next story

Can you help me with this?

“readerMessage” is misspelled on line 707

I feel stupid. Thanks! Sorry for being a burden.

How can you tell the readers how many points they have? Like:

Boy 1: 3 points

Girl 1: -2 points

Yeah I was wondering that too. I want to let the reader know how many points they have in each category I’ve created and I don’t know how?

I would highly suggest giving this article a read if you want to let readers know how many points they’ve gained/lost for each category :slight_smile:

Thank you!

what if you do the points system in one episode and don’t use if elif or else in that episode and then move on to the next one how do u save the points

Points will carry throughout episodes whether you use the if/elif/else or not

how do u know how much have

The outcome based on which character has more points is not working for me. In the example below, it always ends up with the picked_john gain, even though I choose the option that gives Merry the points when I test it. Please help, and thank you for this awesome guide by the way.

Question 1

choice
“Merry answer”{
@MERRY +5
}
“John answer”{
@JOHN +5
}

if (MERRY > JOHN) {
gain picked_merry
} elif (JOHN > MERRY) {
gain picked_john
} else {
NARRATOR
Tie breaker question: Cute or Talented?
choice
“Cute”{
gain picked_merry
}
“Talented”{
gain picked_john
}
}

Test on the app and reset story progress I don’t think the web preview remembers points.

I have tested it in the mobile app too and exact same problem occurs sadly.
