Minigame and points help!

Robby · December 29, 2022, 11:02am

So I’ve made a minigame in my story and the minigame’s function is to earn points with the love interest. There are three questions in the minigame and if the reader answers correctly, they earn one point with the love interest. The total amount of points out of 3 earned are shown once the game is completed.

At the end, there’s this function:

If (POTIONS MINIGAME = 0) {

@CILLIAN +0

readerMessage | bold, color:red | Cillian +0

} elif (POTIONS MINIGAME = 1) {

@CILLIAN +1

readerMessage | bold, color:green | Cillian +1

} elif (POTIONS MINIGAME = 2) {

@CILLIAN +2

readerMessage | bold, color:green | Cillian +2

} else {

@CILLIAN +3

readerMessage | bold, color:green | Cillian +3

}

Cillian is the love interest name.

POTIONS MINIGAME is the character I made so that when the score out of 3 is shown, it just shows the points earned from that minigame:

      NARRATOR
You got [5164423313293312]/3 correct.

The problem I’m having is that the points earned using POTIONS MINIGAME as the character, I want to convert to CILLIAN points. So I typed the code above, however it doesn’t seem to be working and it tells me there’s an error with an ‘Unexpected block end’.

Someone please help!!

Idk what it can be wrong, because I copied this script, I just changed to GAME and “if” but small “i” and I don’t have problem with it. So can you send screenshots of game and ending and error? Maybe somewhere else is something wrong.

Summary

if (GAME=0) {

@CILLIAN +0

readerMessage | bold, color:red | Cillian +0

} elif (GAME=1) {

@ELIJAH +1

readerMessage | bold, color:green | Cillian +1

} elif (GAME=2) {

@CILLIAN +2

readerMessage | bold, color:green | Cillian +2

} else {

@CILLIAN +3

readerMessage | bold, color:green | Cillian +3

}

Thank you for responding! I’ll send the code now

Robby · December 29, 2022, 7:25pm

I’ve just decided to send the code of the minigame as well as the points thing at the end, rather than screenshots if you don’t mind

I know it’s a lot of code, sorry but you can just copy and paste!

Also, don’t ask about the weird made-up words, I am writing a fantasy story

I checked the code, and there is something missing, so if you have the code earlier (before that mini game), and the “goto” part, then it will probably match, but I can’t tell if everything is okay without knowing if you have the matching {} and where the goto thing is… and other choices before the mini game that would match this situation.

That’s why I asked about ss of the whole code and error. ;3

in your code, the “if” is still on a big I, so change that to a small “i” because that will also cause an error.

Robby · December 30, 2022, 10:12am

So this is before the game starts and the narrator asks whether the reader is ready to start the minigame. And then within that premium “Yes!” choice, that is when the game starts. My coding of if/else code is not the best and therefore it causes it to be very long as I’m not that advanced at making it shorter, finding short cuts, etc.

Is there anything else you want me to send?? :))

Robby · December 30, 2022, 10:24am

I replaced the capital ‘I’ of the ‘If’ with a lower case ‘i’ and it works!! Sorry if I was being a pain but thank you so much for your help. I definitely know who to ask next time lmao.
