Assigning ranges to variables

19 years ago
You know how on the variables page it lists "if value goes Above, if value goes below" and sends to a page?

What if there was another drop down that said "At end game, if value is: [ranges included] assign the following to another variable." There could be like five of these, and they would only take effect at the end of game, taking into account one variable and transcribing onto another.

For an example, let's say I make a variable called "TITLE" to work with the unique SCORE variable.

Now, I go to my SCORE variable and set these:
If SCORE is [1-25] assign the following to TITLE variable: MEDIOCRE.
If SCORE is [26-50] assign the following to TITLE variable: GOOD.
If SCORE is [100] assign the following to TITLE variable: BEST.

Now, on any end game link, I just put "You have a %%TITLE%% ending" and it says, "You have a GOOD ending," "You have a MEDIOCRE ending," etc.

Don't know how hard this would be or if somehow I can do it now and just haven't figured it out.

You can already do this with link variable restrictions, like in Finals Week.

Put links on your page like:

- You got the MEDIOCRE editing (show only if score between 1 and 25)
- You got the GOOD editing (show only if score between 26 and 50)
... etc ...

Then just make a page for each ending, or link to the same ending.

 

does that help?

That helps, yeah. But I think in that case, you have to make a link. The other variable isn't actually assigned a new identifier. So you can't just call it on a page without using a link, like You got the %%VARIABLE%% ending. But I see what you mean.

Thanks!
