More on the variable system. 

Can you have items that bring varibles up and down.  It would make a game easier to have an item system with HP and stat increasing items.  Can you also make items that can be equiped.   The person choses what type of item it is and you can only equip one item of that type.

Bank feature ?  Can we have the option to have a bank where you can put items there.  If you die you would end up at the bank like a checkpoint.  When you die to lose and they reappear where you found them.  Any score and variable changes go back to what they were so you can find the items you lost in case someone puts an score lock?

Add these to the list of big updates.  The top one first.  Then the second one.

I'll be honest, these are incrediby hard complex to program in, so don't expect them anytime soon. There are lots of other features that will give a better payback for investment. One huge thing we need right now is help texts on how to write good stories and use the editors.

Your first question you can workaround by this. Let's say you have an item called HEALTH POTION and you want it to give the user 25 HITPOINTS when they USE it. Make a page called Drink Health Potion. On the page say, "you drank the health potion" and add a single link called "Continue ..." that takes you to the previous page. On the link, add a variable change to increase score by 25.

For the second question, maybe. A feature to be implemented soon is the ability to have a link automatically drop an item. Once this feature is in, you could have the EQUIP CHAIN MAIL link drop all armour items except Chain Mail.

This is coming soon. As an author, you would select a page that the player would go to when a VARIABLE went in a particular range.

For example, you would say that, if HITPOINTS got below 0, go to page   YOU DIED

Already there ;-). Just have the Variable Change be negative. Example:

Variable    Change   Count Multiple
  SCORE          -25                      [ X]

IF you applied this variable Change to a link, every time the player clicked on it, his score would go down by 25.

Tried..... Still just isn't my thing, It tries to be D&D and isn't
