Ok, it was rather simple figuring out how to have links affecting variables. But how would I make that effect depend on another variable?

Say if I put in a choice that will make the character lose some HEALTH. I want to make it so that the more ENDURANCE he has the less HEALTH he loses. Is this possible?

Yeah, that's possible. How much health do you want to make them lose? 

Say a guy is going to lose 50 HP with no endurance. If there's 10 endurance I want him to lose 10% less( so -5 =45) , if he has 20 then I want him to lose 20% less (-10= 40) etc.

IF %END = 0 THEN

%HP := %HP - 50

IF %END = 10 THEN

%HP := %HP - 45

IF %END = 20 THEN

%HP := %HP - 40

IF %END = 30 THEN

%HP := %HP - 35

IF %END = 40 THEN

%HP := %HP - 30

IF %END = 50 THEN

%HP := %HP - 25

IF %END = 60 THEN

%HP := %HP - 20

IF %END = 70 THEN

%HP := %HP - 15

IF %END = 80 THEN

%HP := %HP - 10

IF %END = 90 THEN

%HP := %HP - 5

IF %END = 100 THEN

%HP := %HP - 0

There you go. Should sound comprehensible enough. END = Endurance, and HP = Health. 

Thanks for the response, but is there a way to make it so I don't have to type this every time? Maybe a shorter version, something like

HP=Current HP - (X * (100-END))

(x being however much damage the character is supposed to take)

IF %END = 0 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

IF %END = 10 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

IF %END = 20 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

IF %END = 30 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

IF %END = 40 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

IF %END = 50 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

IF %END = 60 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

IF %END = 70 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

IF %END = 80 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

IF %END = 90 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

IF %END = 100 THEN

%HP := %HP - (%X * (100/%END))

Alright, and how should I go about making it so that if a player clicked a choice on page 10, one of the choices on page 11 will not be available to him?

Variable restriction.

Can you explain that a bit more? I do not want to make the choice based on current variables. Think of it this way:

I'm asking the player 2 questions, and I want to disable the answers for the second question that would conflict with the answers from the first one (so if the question would be something like "what's your greatest strength" and the first answer is "I am very good at magic" the answer to the second question which could be "and what is your greatest weakness" can not be "I have never been too adept at casting".

You're saving their answer inside a variable, right?
 

Well actually the answers are just supposed to change certain variables (their stats).

Save the answers into variables, then just look at that to determine what answers to hide.

%HP := %HP - ((100 - %END) + %DMG)
