    DOCTOR SMITH (talk_neutral)
Your baby might have Pyloric Stenosis.

    DOCTOR SMITH (talk_neutral)
Which is  is a condition that can affect the gastrointestinal tract in babies. 

    DOCTOR SMITH (talk_neutral)
It can make a baby vomit forcefully and often, and can lead to other problems, such as dehydration. 

    DOCTOR SMITH (talk_neutral)
Pyloric stenosis needs immediate medical treatment.Pyloric stenosis affects about 3 out of 1,000 babies in US.

    DOCTOR SMITH (talk_neutral)
It's more likely to affect firstborn male infants and also runs in families.

    DOCTOR SMITH (talk_neutral)
We can run a few tests, and see what we got.

    DOCTOR SMITH (talk_agree_happy)
I will see you in a few weeks!

Did you try resetting your flags (gains)?

Here’s how to do so:

3

it didnt work.

4

OK that’s weird, i tested it and it worked perfectly for me :joy:

If they’re gold, then they were chosen. If both of them are gold, that’s bad. You only want one to be gold and that’s the path you want to see. Clicking on them makes them blue, so they are NOT chosen.

5

ya but when i pick ms claire the other one turns golden

6

Picking her should make the “go_Claire” flag golden. If the other one is golden, click on it to make it blue so it’s not chosen.

7

remove ELSE and the corresponding brackets… I’ve had trouble with it myself and this seems to solve the issue… after removing ELSE and the brackets… try playing it through to be sure it plays out how it should (which it should)

8

OR… second option… use flags with your If’s…
example

if (go_claire) {
goto go_claire_go}

label go_claire_go
bla bla bla
bla bla bla
goto end_go_claire_go

random stuff here

label end_go_claire_go

9

do u know how to use it with gains? istead of flags?

1 Like
10

You use BOTH gains and flags

rather than having the entire script inside of if { } … you would replace the script with a GOTO flag

then LABEL the script you want for that IF scenerio

11

could u fix the one im using? ray?
