This is a very, VERY short story game about a spirit called Bara. Whom you direct. In this short tale, Bara explores an old forest, trying to find another spirit. Only you can help her find it.

I'd have to agree with killa on this one. Asking the player their choices and asking to put in the digits of a password are functionally the same thing, just the password makes it harder for people to "cheat" since they don't know the password translates to.

.

Yes, but in my current set up, I'm making so that almost every choice will have an impact in later parts, so it would be easier to just redo all the choices

I guess, though, I could rewrite the story so that there are more choices with only a couple carrying over, if I found a good way to carry over a few choices, which is why I started this post.

From what I understand, your example would be to ask the player for a password for each choice being carried over, but I wanted to try and make a single password for all the choices. I think that's what killa_robot was referring to

I think you underestimate my lack of patience.

But if you would be willing, I wouldn't mind a tutorial.

The values are all binary, most of the time, keeps things simple, but I'd have to plan out the story more before I know what the choices that need to be carried over are. 

As long as whoever play my games has fun reading them, it doesn't really matter to me. I was intending to have a page where you can skip to a further chapter with the 'default' choices. 

I'm not as good with scripting as I'd like to think, and I know I'm not patient enough to make a password thing, so I'll settle for what I was doing now. The people who are really into the story will take the time to re-do their choices, and the people who just want to see the new stuff will skip ahead.

Thanks for the suggestions and advice anyway though.

I have this idea to create a game where I would publish chapter updates with new parts, and your choices change what happens in latter chapters. Like the Tell Tale Games, sort of. 

Currently I am planning on un-publishing the storygame and adding the new chapters when i have them finished, which would delete everyone's saves, so they'll have to start over. Hence I'm making it more story than game, so it doesn't take as long to get back to where you were if you remember your choices.

Now if I were to make every chapter update it's own game, I would need a way to transfer a person's choices from one story to the other. 

So what I am asking is, does anyone have ideas on how to remember a person's choices, either from one game to another, or after un-publishing and re-publishing the one game.

here's some of my notepad

Vanvid Angels

Archangel: Jack Reicher

Generals:
Lyle Faux (Masked Man)
Rachel Fredricks

Lieutenants:
Ralph Ciel
Cassie Ciel
Michael Sword

Recruit:
Louis Cipher
Adrian Elle
Protagonist: Gabriel Nyte

Other Guards:
Carver
Nolan
Erica
Jules
Adam
Tamia

The game follows Gabriel Nyte, and his one month employment with the angel.

Significant choices made by player (not necessarily in order):
Save a recruit: When the masked man enacted his plan to kill one of the recruits, he made sure only two could survive. After escaping his predicament, Gabriel is faced with the choice to either save Adrian Elle, or Louis Cipher. [Saved Adrian. Saved Louis]

Side with a general: After the establishment of the lesser council, they have a premature vote for the next Archangel. the votes for the other 4 lieutenants leaves a tie for Gabriel to resolve. He can either vote for Rachel Fredricks, or Lyle Faux. [Supported Rachel. Supported Lyle]

Saved Rachel: Due to the result of the premature vote, the masked man decides to cut his loses and kill the competition. He sets up a trap for Rachel Fredricks during a routine walkabout. Gabriel manages to be alerted of her trouble, and can attempt to rescue her. [Rescued Rachel. Rachel died. Rachel not attacked.]

Reaction to blighted angel: During Lyle's final test for the would-be lieutenants, he sends them into Castle Oblivion. The castle is infested with various monstrosities, the worst of which being a blighted angel; an angel forgotten in the castle and corrupted. When Gabriel finally faces off with the blighted angel, he has several manners to react in. [Killed Blighted Angel. Absolved Blighted Angel. Escaped Blighted Angel.]

Sector Feud: The sectors of Vampirica nd East Lychan were in constant bloody feud, for various reasons, not the least of which being the masked man egging them on. This feud eventually erupts into a battle at the border. Gabriel, being an angel, had many opportunities to choose a side in this fight. [Sided with Werewolves. Sided with Vampires. Prevented Battle. Mutual Destruction]

Helping Masked Man: There are two occasions where Gabriel is recruited by the masked man to aid him in destroying Vanvid. The first being his first night in Vanvid; where he asked Gabriel to aid him rally a rebellion, and then again after the masked man's first attack in the Pits and Circles; to ensure Gabriel's alliance, or convince him to join in the first place. [Joined Masked Man. Rejected Masked Man.][Remained Loyal. Quit Masked Man. Joined Masked Man. Rejected Mask Man again.]

Obtaining Evangelica: After the attack at Lowen Crossing, Gabriel is hospitalized in Archangel. Once he awakens, he has the opportunity to explore Archangel. There he can find the mythical statue of Evangelica, and learn of how to awaken the statue in the coming days. [Awoke Evangelica. Let Evangelica rest. Failed to wake Evangelica. Did not encounter Evangelica.]

Reaction to Ambush: Gabriel has prior knowledge of the ambush on day 27. He can decide to use the information to save everyone, or remain truly loyal to the masked man and do nothing [Save everyone. Save Michael. Save Cassie. Do nothing.]

and that's just for 1 of my 3 games i have notes for

I solved the problem. It was just my stupidity. Thanks anyway

In my game I have it that the player trains their skills at one point. I had it so the skills take a certain amount of time to level and then gave them a certain amount of time to train. This is the script I have on a certain link

IF %TRAINTIME < 9 THEN
BEGIN
%PRS := %PER + 1
%TRAINTIME := %TRAINTIME + 3
END
ELSE 
BEGIN
%PRS := %PER + 1
$DEST := @P27
END

Traintime is 0 to 12, the player has 12 hours to train (from noon to midnight). PRS takes three hours to train. No matter what i do, PRS won't increase past 1 (the variable is 0 to 2). Can someone please tell me what's going wrong?

also, the training starts on a separate page whose script is just

%PRS := %PRS + 1
%TRAINTIME := %TRAINTIME + 3

but I still can only get PRS to 1 and not 2 even if I train another skill on the first page
