Alright, first off, I think I have this variable stuff straight. Buuuuuuut, I have a part where there are 6 links, but you may only choose 3 in all (it brings you back to the page with the 6 links on there after you pick one) and I made a variable where it went up 1 every time a link is picked, and if it exceeds 2, then it will automatically bring the reader to another page that advances the story. I've done that before, and it worked, but when I tried it for a second time later on in the story (and tried it out), it would just go back to the original page instead of re-directing. Help?

Make sure you have checked the box on the Link Dialog that lets you use it multiple times.

I've done that; even attempted using link restrictions, and the page link came up yet did not actually go to the page

Next thing to do then, it select your Variable Valuse to show on the Page and them watch them as you go through your links.

Chances are a value will not be what you think it should be.

Also, avoid using ' = ' when a ' < ' or ' > ' will work instead...

If that doesn't work, specify if your Variable Changes are ocuring off Links or Page Script. This is because a Variable Change on a Link Changes going into the new Page, while a Variable Change on a Page Script changes going out of the new page...

Hope all this helps you narrow down your problem...  :)

Hmm, I ended up deleting the variable and creating another performing the same action. It ended up working, and I'm clueless as to why. Thanks though

Yeah, sometimes a page or link will get corrupted when saved and the only option is to delete and recreate it.
