Flag and "points" with character

[HikkiNeet]

Hello,

I'm writing this post because I'm in the process of programming my first VN and I've stumbled into a problem that's blocking me. Basically, some of your choice with have an impact on your relationship with a girl and will make you have different discussion with them/different scene with them depending on your amount of point your have.

I tried quite a lot of different manner and last time I tried inputting command, I ended up not being able to run the game at all and I had to rollback to a prior version. So I might seem like I haven't done a lot but I'm bit at a lost at that point. I will post what I think is pertinent, if you need any other information, I'll do my best to give it to you.

# The game starts here.
label start:

$ manson = 0
$ bundy = 0
$ gein = 0
$ dahmer = 0
$ gacy = 0
$ saki = 0


So these are the variable. I putted right at the beginning.

That's the first menu where you can gain point with one of the girl:

menu:
"In the common room":
$ manson += 1
jump CR1

"In the courtyard":
jump CY01

"Here in the cafeteria":
jump CF1


And that's the place where one of the first branching of different choice you made will happen.

menu:
"Got out in the courtyard"
if manson == 1:
jump CY13
elif manson ==0:
jump CY14

"Go to the common room"
jump CR1


I've got a bit lost in the variable and point being added to the different character/variable.

Some event would trigger different event with character depending on how many points they have and some other line of discussion.

Sorry if it's not so clear, english is not my native language.

You should put your code inside of [ code] [ /code] tags in your post (without the extra spaces) so we can see your indentation.

If you do that you code will look like this in the post:

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Go out in the courtyard":
        if manson == 1:
            jump CY13
        elif manson ==0:
            jump CY14
    "Go to the common room":
        jump CR1

Note: I added two missing colons...which would cause you menu to not work. When you are giving choices in a menu, you have to have a colon.

Try this way: Put the variables with the init command above your start label.

Code: Select all

init:
     $ manson = 0
     $ bundy = 0
     $ gein = 0
     $ dahmer = 0
     $ gacy = 0
     $ saki = 0

# The game starts here.
label start:

So these are the variable. I putted right at the beginning.

That's the first menu where you can gain point with one of the girl:

menu:
"In the common room":
$ manson += 1
jump CR1

"In the courtyard":
jump CY01

"Here in the cafeteria":

if manson == 1:

elif manson ==0:
jump CY14

"Go to the common room"
jump CR1

Great, thanks a lot for the quick reply!

I'm starting to grasp more how the programming work. Now all the branching work properly.

My only question is, why is there no Ridgway to romance?
