Scripting.  I thhink theres a way.

In the Advanced Editor, go to the Scripts section. You will see a list of all scripts currently in your game. At the top, you will see Global Link and Global Page.

If you want something to happen when EVERY link is clicked, you open up Global Link and write a script there.

For example, adding to the same variable every time a link is pressed.

%VARIABLE := %VARIABLE + 1

If you only want it to go up every three links, all you have to do is make a second variable to act as a "counter". The "counter" variable would go up each time a link is clicked, and when it reaches three, it adds +1 to your main variable, and resets the counter to zero. So you might have a script like this instead:

%COUNTER := %COUNTER + 1

IF %COUNTER = 3 THEN
     BEGIN
          %COUNTER := 0
          %VARIABLE := VARIABLE + 1
     END

Hey I want to make something with Hunger and every 2 turns it goes down could you type what I should put in it

nice guys, nice. Tsmpaul, you should really make an article. A scripting article on a password script, and this one. If you would like i can compile this stuff for you and publish it under your name. Either way, it should be published :)

You don't need scripting to make a variable go up 1 every time a link is pressed.  Just go into the variable page of the link, and than you find that variable.  Make it so that it's addition and one.

The difference is, one single script that automatically affects every single link in the game, by using a global link script, or having to individually set a variable to change every single time you create a link in your game. One takes a few seconds to do, the other you have to do constantly as you create your game.

Yeah, I'll probably write an article or two at some point Solo, just need the time.
