Any help? Suggestions? Please!

DARA’S GUIDE: The Points System

Please visit my website for more templates and guides! https://www.dara-amarie.com/ Each character has their own set of points and they all start with a score of 0. Readers can gain or lose points depending on what choices they make. You can add points to your actual characters, or you could create a new character and name it ROMANCE, FRIENDSHIP, HONESTY, etc. and create a point system for each category. There are 2 ways to add/subtract points: right next to their name when they speak a si…

HOW TO: Show character points WITHOUT if/elif/else - the simpliest method

full credit for discovering this method goes to @athoynilima!!! I’m just making a tutorial for it. So you probably know the method of showing points by using if/elif/else. But there is a much easier method which will be handy especially if you have a lot of points reader can gain. So let’s say you have points named LOVE and the reader can have anything between 1-50 points . So first you have to discover the CHARACTER NUMBER. This…

DARA’S GUIDE: Remember Choices with if/elif/else

Please visit my website for more templates and guides! https://www.dara-amarie.com/ FIRST AND FOREMOST, to remember choices, you will need to use the if/elif/else code, which looks like this: if (label1) { } elif (label2) { } else { } if is always first, elif is always in the middle, and else should always be the last one by itself if you have 2 options, you only need to use if and else if (label) { } else { } if you have 3 options, use if then elif then else if (label1) { } elif (lab…

Gem choice afterwards:
NARR
Would you like to max out your points?
choice
<GEMS:5>”Yes, top up my points!”{
@BRAVERY = 10
@FRIENDSHIP = 10
@HONESTY = 10
}”No, thanks.”{
}

The number beside the “gems” is variable, you can select from a drop down menu of 5, 8, 12 etc.
The = 10 is just an example of the maximum points, you can substitute your max value into those to fit your story.
You’ll also need to create characters called BRAVERY, FRIENDSHIP and HONESTY if you haven’t already.
