Need some help with story changing choices :) (Solved!)

Hello! This is my first ever story and I’ve been trying to achieve for my characters to remember choice that the reader has made. I’ve watched so many videos, and the same thing happens, either option that i choose it will always give me both of them occurring.

Such as, I tried to make my character be able to point a woman in the right direction and if lied to her she would yell at you. Unfortunately, if you choose to help her, she will still come and yell at you.
Any suggestions on what to do?

Gains are the best way to achieve what you want. I have used them in my story and they are simple to use.

I’ve been using the gain and it has not been working for me :frowning:

Can you show me your script of the gain and how you made the gain occur.

I’ve not tried the .elif before, it looks extremely difficult and this is my first time coding. But if it works it is probably worth it!

Gains are used with the if/elif. You can’t use gains without them.

you can try this:
if (flag_name) {

} elif (flag_name2) {

} else {

}

if (choice_name is “Option 1”) {

} elif (choice_name is “Option 2”) {

} else {

}

I don’t believe you can use if twice so try replacing it with an elif.

Sorry, do you mean after the first if and continue using elif from there or do you mean on the last two?

You should put this as an elif instead of an if.
