How to remember a choice?

[EpisodeHoneyy]

Hi!

In a chapter I have a dressing game. I want to do a flashback, so there the MC wears other clothes.

How can I let the script remember what the reader has chosen?

Thanks!

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…

You will need to name your choice. Example below-
NARRATOR
What shall I wear?
choice (outfit)
“Option1”{
@CHAR changes into outfit_name1
}
“Option2”{
@CHAR changes into outfit_name2
}
“Option3”{
@CHAR changes into outfit_name3
}

to remember the choice
if(outfit is “Option1”){
@CHAR changes into outfit_name1
}elif(outfit is “Option2”){
@CHAR changes into outfit_name2
}else{
@CHAR changes into outfit_name3
}
