I’m new to flags and gains. I’m making a test story to make sure it works. I’m doing a mystery story and want the player to collect clues, and then be able to look at the clues at the end. I’m using this tutorial. I’m making one character collect 4 clues (clue1, clue2, clue3, and clue4). How do I code the rest of the game and how to remember the clues the player found? Here’s the code:
If that doesn’t work there is another way to do it without gains
so you would Name the choice below, and remove the gains
choice (DIRECTIONS)
“Go left” {
Hi, I believe I understand now what you want…But seems to me you have their unnecessary gains and if/elif/else
I guess you do not need somewhere later in the story to remember she went up or dow…if so you will better go with levels and not gains.
I guess you need for future reference only gain clue 1 -4 right?
If so this might be what you are looking for - its not 100% copying your script I just have played with the possibility to look left and right and on each side to look up and down:
