variables

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...

Is there a way to set up a chapter to only be accessible if a variable is not yet initiated?

I know gene.sis 8 years ago suggested this in the guide, but I've yet to see anything. I know there's some stuff I've had to figure out with experimentation, and it would have been helpful to find it via documentation. Things I have discovered: variables will change prior to the chapter text...

Hello, I'm writing a story making heavy use of the variable systems of the site, both hidden and visible variables, and I was wondering if there is a limit to the number of variable you can use in your story ? I get that you don't want too many visible ones to not overhelm the reader, but most...

When adding a new chapter to a story it would be nice to get a list of all variables used in the story, this is both for the variables that can be used in the text along with variables that restrict passage to the next chapter. In general, it would make it easier for people to contribute and it...

If I want to write a story where the reader can input an age (say 48) and later on in the story I want it to add 1 to it so that it is 49, can I do that in some way? Like setting the game variable to the players input in the customizable field?

There are so many features of the conditional statements and score that so many people don't use. I find they make the foundation for some fantastic branching paths. However, in writing my own story I have found that I would love to be able to manipulate the customization variables through...

I'm not sure how often it would be useful, but in my instance I want my character to stutter as he says another characters name, so it would be nice to be able to get just the first letter of her name. For example: "L-L-L-Lauren" done with <...

I tried to use a variable in the end-of-chapter question but it didn't work. Is it possible to use variables in this way (specifically, I was trying to ask about a character, using her name if MC had talked to her earlier and her job title (clerk) if he hadn't. Here's the code: Did you want to...

Is there any way we can detect game mode in-game, allowing us to offer different text to those playing the gave vs. those just clicking through? This would be a useful feature.

Hi! I've been having problems with linking chapters to a child chapter. I've been doing it before, but for some reason I am not able to do it this morning. When I try to do it I get the error message 'It isn't possible to link a chapter to its child chapter or itself'. I use this because I...

Hello fellow writers! I was wondering if y'all could help clarify something for one of the stories I'm currently writing. In my newest story 'Futa Island' I have a chapter that houses all the emails that you receive over the course of the story. It was handy in the beginning but is starting...

So right now, I'm working on a story segment that uses the percentage(progress) variables over Boolean and Numerical variables. Now I'm wanting to effectively lock out a chapter unless the reader has reached a certain percentage with one specific variable. At this part, I'm confused and not sure...
