SO I have already looked up Joseph Evans and the ONE video he has doesn’t show from stary to finished how to use them. All it showed is what happens if you choose one choice or the other throughout the episode. So please do say go check him out. I use his video’s a lot but this one is not something I have found helpful. So that being said I am new to the point system and would really love to use it in my story, can someone point me to a thread on here that shows and explains how to or can someone help me out?
At the moment want I want to use it for is the readers get to choose how the MC answers the other character and how she answers determines on how the other character treats her, in the beginning, they will have a chance again to get in good with them because they’re your boss but all choice will matter and I don’t know how to set it up or anything.
Hey, don’t worry I was very confused at this stuff to at the beginning. You can check out Dara. Amarie’s thread
Thank you so much. 
Of course! Feel free to ask me if you need any help!
sure will thank you
I need help 
Yeah of course! What do you need help with?

I have a error that says: Unexpected ELIF: elif
Also umm so the choice will determine the way PRINCIPAL KEITH is with her. So should I have his name in the brackets of hers? I’m so lost
So do you want to do different outcomes based on the # of points you have? Or do you want to let the reader earn and lose points depneding on the choices they make?
I want to allow them to earn and lose points but there will be other characters that I want the point system with also. I want him to not really like her if they click the second option at first but have the chance to get him to like her.
oh ok so for this sutition you would do the +1 or -1 thing
Like this

Hopefully I answered it, but if I didn’t let me know then
Thank you so much. So since I want other characters to gain and lose points I would do the same?
Also later on in the story how would I go back to wether she has good points or bad?
Yes you would so if there was a love interest and you want the MC to earn and lose points with him you would:
choice
“Talk Nicely”{
@hismoonrose interest +1
add dialuges
}
“Talk Rude”{
@hismoonrose interest -1
add dialouges
}
Like that above
I usually let the readers see how many points they have and that way they can see if they have - points or + points. You can also keep track of it on a paper as well
Like when he talks to her later on in the story through the points will determine how he acts how would I code that?
You would then use the if/elif/else code
Example:
ABIGAL
Do you know where the washroom is?
if (PRINCIPAL KEITH > 1) {
this is the good outcome
You have more Prinicpal Keith points then 1
}
elif (PRINCIPAL KEITH =1){
Usually the ok outcome
You have only 1 Principal Keith points
}
else{
If you don’t have any Principal Keith points you would get the bad outcome
I get an error when I use the if and else
The second example I did?
If you can, can you put the script on here, where is says error?
