I am hoping to write a story based off reality TV shows like Love Island, Too Hot to Handle etc.
I read “Love On Fire” written by episode (if you haven’t read it I TOTALLY recommend!!) and I was mind blown about how by talking to 1 in 10 characters that choice is remember for later. I assumed it was by using character points but after reading Dara Amarie’s guide to points it doesn’t completely answer my question.
Incase this is a little confusing lets say there are 10 characters and the MC chooses to speak to character 3. How would I use points (or anything else) to later get the MC and character 3 to take part in a challenge etc together? As seen in Love on Fire.
Hey, sorry as I said in the message earlier, Dara Amarie’s guide didn’t really answer the question I was hoping to answer. I don’t know how to code for point with lots of characters.
Dara’s guide says you can do:
if (BOY > GIRL)
then MC speaks to BOY
But how do I do it so whichever character, out of a possible 10, has the most points is the one chosen for the following scene.
You’ll basically have to add points to each character. This is just some random example:
NARR
Who do you want to talk to?
choice
"Talk to character one"{
@CHAR1 +1
#CODE DIALOGUE
}"Talk to character two"{
@CHAR2 +1
#CODE DIALOGUE
}"Talk to character three"{
@CHAR3 +1
#CODE DIALOGUE
}"Talk to character four"{
@CHAR4 +1
#CODE DIALOGUE
}"Talk to character five"{
@CHAR5 +1
#CODE DIALOGUE
}
Then, when you want that choice to affect who the MC will compete with:
if (CHAR1 =1){
#SCENE OF MC WITH CHAR1
}elif (CHAR2 =1){
#SCENE OF MC WITH CHAR2
}elif (CHAR3 =1){
#SCENE OF MC WITH CHAR3
}elif (CHAR4 =1){
#SCENE OF MC WITH CHAR4
}else{
#SCENE OF MC WITH CHAR5
}
