So, what I want to do is to somehow have a different event occour depending on which stat is highest... So, if Strength is your highest stat, it goes to event A. If Speed is the highest, it goes to event B, ect... But I don't know how to script the game to figure out which os the stats is highest. 

Five. Strength, Speed, Accuracy, Intelligence and Stealth. ^_^

Yep. Was hoping I could do it with a Link Restriction, but that doesn't look possible (at least from what I can see.)

Awesome! Thanks miz! So... Uhh... Since I'm a fucking idiot, where exactly do I put this code, and how to I make it apply to a certain page?

Yeah, AND doesn't work with inequalities unfortunately. But you could calculate the maximum value and then check for which variable(s) equal(s) that maximum. It's possible some or all of them could be equal so you might need to tweak the stat order for tiebreaking.

%MAX := %STRENGTH
IF %SPEED > %MAX THEN %MAX := %SPEED
IF %ACCURACY > %MAX THEN %MAX := %ACCURACY
IF %INTELLIGENCE > %MAX THEN %MAX := %INTELLIGENCE
IF %STEALTH > %MAX THEN %MAX := %STEALTH

IF %STRENGTH = %MAX THEN # Strength is highest
ELSE IF %SPEED = %MAX THEN # Speed is highest
ELSE IF %ACCURACY = %MAX THEN # Accuracy is highest
ELSE IF %INTELLIGENCE = %MAX THEN # Intelligence is highest
ELSE # Stealth is highest

Unfortunately, the way the game works, it's highly unlikely that any of the stats will be at their maximum. 

Oh, no, I mean the maximum of the five current stat values. If the stats are currently 3, 1, 2, 5, and 4, then the max would be 5. Nothing to do with the potential maximum.

Oh, okay, I think I get it. Thank you! ^_^

Not sure how I could tweak it for a tie-break though. 

Nah, I'm cool. Thanks Killa ^_^

... Oh wow, I actually figured out a way that works! (Used that %MAX thingy Brad showed me and then created another variable to keep track of what skill actually is the %MAX, and then used that variable as a Link Restriction... Thanks so much guys! ... Was also kind of hoping there was a way to track the second highest stat... But I don't think my poor little brain would be able to wrap itself around that in a million years. 

Also managed to track the lowest score... This is a good day. ^_^

I'd imagine that you could just go through the max check thing but ignoring the highest option once (by having an extra variable to figure out if you ignored the change once so far or not, in case you have two variables sharing the maximum). (If you want to ignore the value if it is equal to max then it should be easier to do).

Note that %EXTRA starts as 0, it is the extra variable I'm using for finding the second highest. %MAX2 is second highest.

IF %MAX = %STRENGTH THEN %EXTRA := 1
ELSE %MAX2 := %STRENGTH

IF %MAX = %SPEED THEN IF %EXTRA = 1 THEN %MAX2 := %SPEED ELSE
IF %EXTRA != 1 THEN
IF %MAX2 < %SPEED THEN %MAX2 := %SPEED

IF %MAX = %ACCURACY THEN IF %EXTRA = 1 THEN %MAX2 := %ACCURACY ELSE
IF %EXTRA != 1 THEN
IF %MAX2 < %ACCURACY THEN %MAX2 := %ACCURACY

IF %MAX = %INTELLIGENCE THEN IF %EXTRA = 1 THEN %MAX2 := %INTELLIGENCE ELSE
IF %EXTRA != 1 THEN
IF %MAX2 < %INTELLIGENCE THEN %MAX2 := %INTELLIGENCE

IF %MAX = %STEALTH THEN IF %EXTRA = 1 THEN %MAX2 := %STEALTH ELSE
IF %EXTRA != 1 THEN
IF %MAX2 < %STEALTH THEN %MAX2 := %STEALTH

IF %STRENGTH = %MAX2 THEN # Strength is second highest
ELSE IF %SPEED = %MAX2 THEN # Speed is second highest
ELSE IF %ACCURACY = %MAX2 THEN # Accuracy is second highest
ELSE IF %INTELLIGENCE = %MAX2 THEN # Intelligence is second highest
ELSE # Stealth is second highest

Hope this works, according to my primitive testing it should(?) but I don't trust myself. I'm also not sure if I structured it properly, but it can be rearranged as desired.

EDIT - There is some redundancy in my checks, I think, but I'm too lazy to go check it myself so I'll just leave this unedited. Someone can always post a better version anyway.

Bloody hell that looks complex. Might be brave enough to try it out later, ^_^

Nah, can't seem to get it to work, and my poor brain is too small to figure out what's wrong with it... Still, knowing the second highest stat isn't really a must have. Thanks for trying though!
