Point System Error

[Eternity]

So my story contains Good and Bad points. Now the point system works for the first Episode showing if you choose a good option it will show you’ve gained a good point, same for the bad points.

BUT! the problem is when I go to Episode 2 of my story and you’d gain another point. It just says that the reader would have one good and one bad point. When in reality you’d have two good points or bad depending on what choices you make.

I don’t know if I’ve messed up the coding but it will always say the reader has at least one good point and one bad point. I’ve been testing through it and for this run, I choose the bad options and I’ve got two bad points and it’s bringing up the same stuff saying “Oh I’ve got one good and bad point” I don’t know what to do or how to fix this issue.

Hiya!

The way your code works, the app has 3 choices, and this is what it sees:

MARIE = -2

“If MARIE = 1…” Wrong, MARIE is -2. Keep looking.
“Elif MARIE = -1…” Wrong, MARIE is -2. Keep looking.
“Else…” Else is the only option that is not wrong.

So the app reads what’s in “else.” Which in this case is “one good point one bad point.

Maybe you want the If and elif to say 2 and -2 instead?

Thank-You I’ll try that and see if that works. Life Savor

My point system. It’s clear on the portal but testing on the phone… it cuts it to the end of the Episode. If I clicked the point button it sends readers to the end of the story. Whereas on the Portal on computer it plays out normal. Is there an error within that?

[Scarlet_Sapphire]

Not sure, since I haven’t seen your whole script, but did you click “reset story progress” before previewing? The portal will always start a scene from scratch, whereas the phone will only start from scratch if you tap “reset story progress” in the right side menu.

[Eternity]

I’ve tried that and that didn’t work.

[Scarlet_Sapphire]

Hmmmmmmmm…

I don’t know why they’re doing different things, but I see this:

@Eternity

goto label menu

The goto code is just “goto name_here”, not “goto label name_here”. (Ik, I keep accidentally writing “goto label name_here” lmao)

That should’ve caused the program to give an error though. Weird…

[Eternity]

It’s odd because I’ve just done another run through it and it’s still skipping the point system.
