- Each character has their own set of points and they all start with a score of 0.
- Readers can gain or lose points depending on what choices they make.
- You can add points to your actual characters, or you could create a new character and name it ROMANCE, FRIENDSHIP, HONESTY, etc. and create a point system for each category.
There are 2 ways to add/subtract points:
- right next to their name when they speak
- a simple @ command
Here is an example:
GIRL (talk_flirt)
Hi, it’s nice to meet you.choice
“Be nice” {BOY (talk_happy_smile) +2
Such a pleasure to meet you!} “Be neutral” {
BOY (talk_neutral)
Oh hi.
@BOY +1} “Be mean” {
BOY -2 (talk_arms_crossed_angry)
Don’t talk to me.
}
To create different outcomes depending on how many points were gained or lost, you will need to use the if/elif/else method.
BOY (talk_flirt)
Do you want to go on a date with me?if (BOY > 1) {
GIRL (talk_excited)
I would absolutely love that!} elif (BOY = 1) {
GIRL (talk_shrug)
Yea that sounds fine.} else {
GIRL (talk_repulsed)
Ew as if, loser!
}
< means less than
> means greater than
= means equel to

To set a character’s points to a specific number or to reset it back to zero, use this command:
@CHARACTER =0
@CHARACTER =4
If you want an outcome based on which character has more points than another character, you would use this for the if/elif method:
if (BOY > GIRL) {
} elif (BOY < GIRL) {
} else {
[this is if they equal each other]
}
Showing Character Points
This method was discovered by @athoynilima
To show character points for a specific character, you will need to find their character number.
You can find the character number by going to the character creation section in the portal. The site link at the top of your browser shows the character number. It will look something like this:
The entire last numbers at the end of the site URL is the character number.
Now copy that number (your own character’s number, not the number in my example URL above).
In your script, you will paste the number with straight brackets around the number to show the character points for that character. You have to use dialogue show points.
Example:
NARRATOR
You have [4688312326619136] point(s).
In your story, it will automatically show how many character points that character has.
- Please keep in mind that the web previewer doesn’t accumulate points from previous chapters. This means that the web previewer will only show available points from just that chapter.
- If you want to show accumulated points (all available points) from previous chapters, you will need to test your story in the app.
