Plus\minus variable in message

[Pahno]

I wanted to number my choice, and for this I need the variables to decrease in the message. As intended it should be like this:

\V[10-1] Show Text
\V[10-2] Show Text
\V[10-3] Show Text
etc.

or simply use a double index: \V[\V[20]]

you can then calculate a number in variable 20 and that result will be used to find the number for the outer variable sequence

Can you give an example? I'm trying to \V[\V[20-1]], \V[\V[20]-1] and it doesn't work

Messages do not support mathematical operations in them. \V[\V[20]] will allow you to access different variables, depending on the value of the 20th variable.

If that's not what you want, it might be helpful if you specify why do you want to do \V[10-1], \V[10-2] and \V[10-3] instead of \v[9], \v[8] and \v[7].

@Pahno as said above you cannot have a mathematical operation inside a show text, you need to do it before.

control variable v20 = 10-2
show text "\V[\V[20]]"

will show the content of variable 8, that is 10-2

I plan to number the rows of choice.

1> Show text
2> Show text
3> Show text
etc

I use plugins that allow you to hide some answers. So I wanted to use variables.
For example, V[20]=0

V[[20]+1]> Show Text
V[[20]+2]> Show Text
V[[20]+3]> Show Text
etc

your answers do not make any sense.

please start at the beginning of what you want to do and what the player should see.
what - not how, that is important.

because the how you're trying to do something is completely wrong.

I want my rows in choise to be automatically numbered. Like this

 

[Andar]

That is not what I asked for - I wanted a full explanation putting in context all the tiny side-facts you listed scattered through the previous answers.
The only thing you just have proven is that your problem has nothig to do with variables and cannot be solved by variables at all. Just because you want numbers and variables store numb ers does not mean that one thing has anything to do with the other.

So please give a full description of what you want, using at least a dozen sentences for every part.
Then we can perhaps point you to a way to do things.

I don't understand the details of this Question, so i don't know what or how to solve.
One guess:
Use 4 Variables instead of 1.

Control Variables:
V[1] set to 1
Control Variables:
V[2] set to 2
Control Variables:
V[3] set to 3
Control Variables:
V[4] set to 4
Show Text
V[1] = 1> Text
V[2] = 2> Text
V[3] = 3> Text
V[4] = 4> Text
end
Control Variables, Batch 1 to 4 do +4
Show Text
V[1] = 5> Text
V[2] = 6> Text
V[3] = 7> Text
V[4] = 8> Text
end
Control Variables, Batch 1 to 4 do +4
Show Text
V[1] = 9> Text
V[2] = 10> Text
V[3] = 11> Text
V[4] = 12> Text

And than you can continue this...
But it uses 4 instead of 1 Variable.
Is this what you wanted to do?

 

[Pahno]

I wanted to make the number display in choice. The rows of choice were disappearing and appearing, so I wanted to make numbers through variables.

However, you wrote above that you cannot use a calculator in messages. So my idea failed.

1.
Which Plugin do you use?
2.
Can you show an example on how it looks if all questions are on and how if one is missing?
I dont fully understand this. 1 time you got 1, 2,3 and 4. And another Time 1,2 and 4 ?
Can you build and show how it should look like with example Pictures?
That could help us better understand.

I'm using a plugin that allows you to output selection variables and switches
2. Since the calculator in messages does not work, I have no idea how to do it
3. For Example choice window:

1. A
2. B
3. C
4. D

IIf I choose B, it will disappear, but the numbering should still be there.

1. A
2. C
3. D

If you want conditional choices to still be numbered according to which ones are there, you would need to build this into the plugin. There's no other way to interrupt the code that creates the choices in order to inject the correct numbers.

Well...that's technically not true, but the method for doing it would be a bit convoluted. You'd need a variable for the choice position of each possible choice, and then use conditional branches to work out which ones are going to be shown, then set the respective variables to whatever value reflects where that choice is going to be in the list.
