Ending based on Points

[Saicachii]

Hello!

Quick question, I'm making a short game with a good ending and a bad ending, based on how many points you have collected (through choices).
The only thing I haven't been able to code is the last part.

This is what I've got down:

$ lovepoints = 0

menu:
"I'm sort of famous for my battle skills at home (Lie)":
jump lie

"I do have some experience... (Exaggerate)":
$ lovepoints += 1
jump almost

"No...":
$ lovepoints += 2
jump truth

So, let's say the player needs 20 points to get the good ending, otherwise he gets the bad ending, how do I code that?

Thank you ^-^

If thats all you need then something simple like this should do the trick:

Code: Select all

if duckieepoints >=20:
  jump goodEnd
jump badEnd

Thank you! I thought it was something like that I just made a small mistake!

I made it work except one thing.

when I do it like this:

if marckpoints >=20:
jump goodEnd
jump badEnd

It jumps to both ends

And when I do it like this:

if marckpoints >=20:
jump goodEnd
if marckpoints <=20:
jump badEnd

It only jumps to the badEnd

Here's how I coded how to get points if that is incorrect and that's why it won't work

label start:

$ duckieepoints = 0

menu:
"I'm sort of famous for my battle skills at home (Lie)":
jump lie

"I do have some experience... (Exaggerate)":
jump almost
$ marckpoints += 1

"No...":
jump truth
$ marckpoints += 3

Hmmm, It should only be able to go through one ending if you use jump to go to a new label.

Just make sure theres a tab difference between the two jumps, so they aren't being included in the same if statment. And then make sure your ending label has a return statment to bring the player back to the menu when the ending is finished, that way it wont go through the other ending.

Code: Select all

label story:
  if marckpoints >=20: 
    jump goodEnd
  
  jump badEnd


label goodEnd:
  "You got the good end"
  return 

label badEnd:
  "You got the good end"
  return

 

If you want to have both ifs you should change the second one to just <20
otherwise a value of 20 is true for both statments and will hit both.

Still can't get it to work :/

Here's what I have:

label start:

$ marckpoints = 0

menu:
"I'm sort of famous for my battle skills at home (Lie)":
jump lie

"I do have some experience... (Exaggerate)":
jump almost
$ marckpoints += 18


"No...":
jump truth
$ marckpoints += 21



label lie:
s "Hmm really...? Without a weapon? I see..."
d "I- I do I just don't have it with me!"
s "Hmm... Alright."
jump back

label almost:
s "Oh, I see. Guess you won't be totally useless in battle then!"
d "..."
jump back

label truth:
s "Well, I figured as much. I guess I'll just have to show you the ropes then."
d "Yeah, yeah..."

label back:

"--- The Cursed Forest ---"

if marckpoints >=20:
jump goodEnd

if marckpoints <20:
jump badEnd


label goodEnd:
"yay!"
return


(I only have one choice menu right now that's why the choices have so many points)
I tried the other way too, with only one if statement but that didn't work either. Same problems as before.

You need to set the points before you jump otherwise they wont be counted.

eg:

Code: Select all

"No...": 
  $ marckpoints += 21
  jump truth

I tried that too but it didn't work :/ I'll try again and see if I missed something! Thank you!

Edit: I don't know why it didn't work before but it did now, thank you so much for the help!!
