A "point" system

[VenatorUnum]

I noticed the "if" statement being able to be used with a certain point system.
The code can make it so you get different endings depending on what your score is ex:
if points >= 10:

e "Congratulations! You're getting the best ending!"

elif points >= 5:

e "It's the good ending for you."

else:

e "Sorry, you're about to get the bad ending."

I'm wondering as to how this works, every attempt I've made so far at adding this sort of system resulted in a bunch of errors.

I've recently played the VN Katawa Shoujo where a similar system was deployed, you'd get points with a certain character for your choices and then new options would open up later.

Can anyone explain to me how this works, and what codes to use?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe you have forgot to indent it properly.

Code: Select all

if points >= 10:
    e "Congratulations! You're getting the best ending!"
elif points >= 5:
    e "It's the good ending for you."
else:
    e "Sorry, you're about to get the bad ending."

No I did that fine in the script itself, just had no idea how to do it here as it's my first forum post ^^

Use the code tag to post code.

And can you post a snippet of your code...

The code looks fine. Maybe you forgot to declare variable points or character e? What errors are you getting?

This is the error I currently get when I try to distribute points. I've tried declaring the actual characters, but then I get the following error:

Removing the "=" sign didn't work there as I thought it would. No clue what's going wrong.

Try this...

Code: Select all

label start:
    $ start = 0

label start:
    $ start = 0

Thanks, that worked for a single point system but now the issue is that I'd like to assign points to invidual characters.
For instance I have person A, B and C

You get a menu with three options, option 1 gives a point for person A, option 2 for B, etc..
Depending on the amount of points you have your story progresses with either A B or C depending on the amount of points you have with each character.

Any way to do this?

[DragoonHP]

Code: Select all

menu:
    "This is option 1" if gg == 1:
        "hh"
    "This is option 2" if gg == 2:
        "hh"

and so on...

Or were you asking for something else...

Do you want to make it so that, for example, not only you have to have, say, 10 points in A, but also more points in A than in B and C for you go to A path?

Yes that's exactly what I needed, thank you!
