How to replace variable. Is that even possible?

10 years ago

For example, if at the beginning you could choose brown or blond hair, then later in the story it mentioned you had ___ hair. Can you replace the ___ with whatever you chose at the beginning? Is it possible?

I was going to use this for names.

Yeah. For the hair example, you could have a %HAIR variable with values of 0 for brown and 1 for blond, and on the page put %%HAIR%=%0%brown%%%%HAIR%=%1%blond%%, and it'll display the corresponding hair color. Names are more complex, but most commonly accomplished by either having a single variable for multiple preset names (the easier option), or n variables for each letter of an n-digit name.

I can see how the latter would be complicated, but yeah, I was going to stick to preset names. Thanks!
