I know how to make text change based on variable
%%VARIABLE%=%0%Text 1%%%%VARIABLE%=%1%Text 2%%
but in my story game I want the character to have different names based on gander and class. I thought the most logical way to do this would be to check for gender and then inside that check for class, something like
%%GENDER%=%0% %%CLASS%=%0%Name 1%% %%, but that doesn't work for obvious reasons. I was wondering if there was a way to do this kind of nested variable text, or if it would just be simpler to make multiple pages.

Thank you for your help in advance ^_^

IF %GENDER = 1 THEN

IF %CLASS = 1 THEN

BEGIN

$PAGETEXT := "Your gender is 'x' and your class is 'x'" + $PAGETEXT 

END

Is this what you're looking for? 

Thank you for the quick reply. This works fine. 

Of course. @ISentinelPenguinI

IF you want line breaks then just put:

$PAGETEXT := "Your gender is 'x'" + "</BR>" + and your class is 'x'" +"</BR>" + $PAGETEXT 

Most logical way would be to make a third variable, which you calculate after their gender and class has been chosen. That way you only need to check that variable when finding out their name.

Or if you want to complex it up a bit, you could do something like this:

Variables_
%GENDER
%CLASS
%NAME

Variable Use During Character Creation:_
Gender Choice creates %GENDER Value (Female = 1; Male = 10)
Class Choice creates %CLASS Value (Fighter = 1; Thief = 2; Cleric = 3; Wizard = 4)

After that, set %NAME := %GENDER * %CLASS

Then Place your On-Page Script_
%%NAME%=%1%Porche the Fighter%%%%NAME%=%2%Lili the Thief%%%%NAME%=%3%Mother Maud the Cleric%%%%NAME%=%4%Malificent the Sorceress%%%%NAME%=%10%Throg Snart the Fighter%%%%NAME%=%20%Black Cloak the Thief%%%%NAME%=%30%Father Clovis the Cleric%%%%NAME%=%40%Zorchradex the Wizard%%

Why are your codes always so clogged up? 

"%%NAME%=%1%Porche the Fighter%%%%NAME%=%2%Lili the Thief%%%%NAME%=%3%Mother Maud the Cleric%%%%NAME%=%4%Malificent the Sorceress%%%%NAME%=%10%Throg Snart the Fighter%%%%NAME%=%20%Black Cloak the Thief%%%%NAME%=%30%Father Clovis the Cleric%%%%NAME%=%40%Zorchradex the Wizard%%"

Magic. ^v^

 ^v^ Is this a penguin smiley face? 

But of couse.

Dam. I gotta teach that to Sentinel sometimes.

Better not, it's Trademarked.

Well...he could always change it up somehow.
