So I have used hidden variables in my story to determine which options players can go to. However the list of no longer relevant hidden variables would get pretty long if I keep doing this. I only see options to change the score, but no option to remove a variable alltogether. Is there a way to do this or a workaround solution. Right now I'm thinking I might be able to use the same variables to keep determining if someone can enter different chapters even if they have nothing to do with eachother, however that only works if the variable is the same for all readers or I would have to reset them all. (the way it is set up right now: chapter 1 add 3 hidden variables ABC as negative, showing chapters 2ABC chapter 2A changes A to positive, showing 2BC (or 3 if ABC positive) chapter 2B changes B to positive, showing C2(and/or 2A and 3 if ABC postive) Chapter 2C changes C to positive, showing 3 if A, B & C are positive or A and/or B if not Which lets people do 2ABC in any order and then gets them to 3. But it also leaves me with hidden variables ABC clogging up my variables.)
Currently, there is no way to remove variables. Reusing the variables might be an option. So you could use 3 to reset each variable to -1. (If you have more than three options the reader might cycle through, a different structure might reduce the number of chapters.) What do you mean by that?
Just as you said, that I would have to reset them at 3. Good to know that's probably the best solution.
