Hey, I was made aware by a reader that several of my conditional branches in my story Maidenhead Academy were now broken. Upon looking into it, it appears that the entire variables system has been updated. Most of my variables were intact, the few that went missing all seemed to be true/false variables which I have now fixed. I think... Is there any information regarding the new system that writers should be aware of? I assume it is a permanent change?
Friedman has implemented some changes. There still might be some issues. Some issues might already be fixed, depending on when they occurred. In general, old stories should still work as expected. Some testing I did yesterday deleted some Score Changes, so it might be better not to edit old chapters, unless necessary. What is the issue with the Y/N variables?
As far as I remember, it was possible to switch the data type of a variable. So if you had a boolean variable, you could do "numerical + 0" and after that, the variable was numerical with a value of 0 or 1. Now, the variable names are unique to their type.
