Are there any plans on allowing score changes to occur in the code for conditional text? Would be quite handy in reducing the amount of chapters one need to create conditionals (as you otherwise need to make a new chapter, give it a condition for showing up, and then have a score change occur in that chapter), and just overall be faster to code.
I don't think so. I assume you mean that only Score Changes in executed conditional branch statements will be performed. That would mean that the Score Changes would be scattered all around a chapter. I think that would make it rather difficult to keep track of the Score Changes. I don't see how that should reduce the number of chapters as you still need one chapter for each option you provide for a chapter question. Additionally, if a variable was changed within the chapter, you wouldn't really be able to show the "current" value in the score tab.
It would be more useful to be able to attach conditions to already existing score changes. The score change is already calculated before the chapter text conditionals are resolved, so this would be the same in effect, and often more predictable.
