Here’s Dara’s guide to gains, which will teach you about it better than I can:
But in general, you put the gain somewhere in the choice or label. That will help you know which path the reader was in.
I’m not sure exactly how you’d phrase it, but it’d be something like:
NARRATOR
What do you want to do?
choice
“Lie”{
gain told_lie
goto Miamihelp
}“Tell the truth”{
gain told_truth
goto truth
}
label truth
#.Scene where you told the truth
goto converge
label Miamihelp
#. Scene where you told a lie
goto converge
label converge
#.Story continues
…
…
…
#. Then later:
if (told_lie){
#. Reader faces the consequences of the lie here
}else{
#. Good things happen here, because the reader told the truth
}
Dara’s guide is better at explaining it haha.
