So the reader plays my game and ends up with the following variable stats (choices and dice rolls influence these so they differ with every play):

A (warrior): 15

B (wizard): 21

C (assassin): 29 

Now they get to a page, a report card. I want to say "congratulations, you are now an assassin (or whichever one)" based on the HIGHEST variable stat (in this case C). How do I do this (e.g please give SCRIPT code or ONPAGE code??). How do I make the text on the page dependable on the HIGHEST stat?

Many thanks for any help! :)

I honestly haven't messed with the advanced editor in the last few months, but there are two ways you can do this, I believe.

Firstly, you can go to the script of the page you are wanting this to appear on and input:

IF %STAT <= 15 THEN $PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "warrior."

IF %STAT > 15 THEN IF %STAT <= 21 THEN $PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "wizard."

IF %STAT > 21 THEN IF %STAT <= 29 THEN $PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "Assassin."

Alternatively, you can use both scripts and on-screen to give you a little more control. Go to the link script that leads to the page on which you get your report card and input:

IF %STAT <= 15 THEN %CLASS := 1

IF %STAT > 15 THEN IF %STAT <= 21 THEN %CLASS := 2

IF %STAT > 21 THEN IF %STAT <= 29 THEN %CLASS :=3

Then, on the actual page where you get the report card, insert:

%%CLASS%=%1%Warrior%%%%CLASS%=%2%Wizard%%%%CLASS%=%3%Assassin%%

The latter method will allow you to have text after the declaration of the player's class.

You're looking for somewhat of a max() function, then? Going off of what James said, you might want to have an additional variable %CLASS so you only need to run the calculation once. It prioritizes C, so if they're all equal, the player will be an assassin:

IF %A >= %B THEN IF %A >= %C THEN %CLASS := 1

IF %B >= %A THEN IF %B >= %C THEN %CLASS := 2

IF %C >= %A THEN IF %C >= %B THEN %CLASS := 3

Then you can just use the same on-page code James gave you:

%%CLASS%=%1%Warrior%%%%CLASS%=%2%Wizard%%%%CLASS%=%3%Assassin%%

Thanks!
