Persistent data and point based endings?

[Boniae]

I'm a little bit confused when it comes to persistent variables, but I need to use them so that when you beat two endings you're able to get the last "true" ending. The tricky thing is I'm not making any extra menus, instead I'm using points to arrive at endings. It's kind of confusing, but I want some of the menus to possibly have variables at the same time, but the "true" end variable will only matter when you've beaten the other endings. So here's kind of an example of what I mean...

Code: Select all

label start:
    
    $ ending1 = 0
    $ ending2 = 0
    $ trueending = 0
    # ^ does this variable need to be different...?

menu:
        "Yes.":
            # will count towards normal endings
            $ ending1 +=1
            
        "No":
            # this variable will only count if you've beaten the game
            $ trueending +=5
            # will count towards normal endings
            $ ending2 +=1

And so then at the end when I'm branching off into the routes, I want to know how to include the persistent data variable as well with the normal point values. Sorry if this is kind of confusing, I can elaborate if needed. Thanks for any help!
