Question about choices

So this may be a stupid question but I’m just wondering if I put a choice in one chapter and that choice carries over to the next chapter how do I do that coding?

It’ll automatically carry over into the next chapter, but if you want it to branch it’ll be the same method.
For example
EPISODE 1
CHARACTER
(My fav color is…)
choice
“Blue”{
gain blue
CHARACTER
Blue!
}
“Pink”{
gain pink
CHARACTER
Pink!
}

EPISODE 2
if (pink){
CHARACTER
I’ll wear a pink shirt today, since it’s my favorite color!
}
elif (blue){
CHARACTER
I’ll wear a blue shirt today, since it’s my favorite color!
}

Basically, the script will automatically remember for you!

okay so in mine depending on what you choose someone will die, how would I branch that?

Well, you’ll need the name of your choices and it depends if you want to use gains or not.

Here’s an example for a death branch
label death_or_life

CHAR (think)
(What do I do…?)
choice (life_or_death)
“Go to your mom’s house”{
CHAR
(I’ll go to Mom’s house…This place is giving me the creeps!)
goto mom_house
}
“Stay at your dad’s house”{
CHAR (idle_sad)
If dad catches me leaving, I’ll get into deep trouble…
goto dad_house
}

label mom_house
INT. BACKGROUND
MOM (talk_happy_smile)
Hi Honey, glad you’re here!
dialogue and stuff here
ONCE THE SCENE AT MOMS HOUSE IS DONE, I’LL SEND THE READER TO THE STORIES CONTINUATION
goto story_continue

label dad_house
CHAR (idle_terrified)
Someone is trying to break in!
dialogue and stuff etc etc
NARRATOR
You have died.
goto story_died

label story_continue
here will continue the story as if your character is alive

label story_died
NARRATOR
Sorry, you’ve died!
goto story_died

You could have the character repeat this, as if it’s the end of the story OR allow the reader to remake their choice so they don’t die!

label story_died
NARRATOR
You’ve died…but here is your chance to redo it!
choice
< PREMIUM >“Press to redo”{
goto death_or_life
}

If you need to use if/elif/else and either gains or points if you want decisions in past chapters to carry to future chapters. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11b1a1BF_L9OYdlWxR6D7sxV3uUlef7cfSjAq7-kWyz0/edit
