Stat Distribution System Using Numerical Variables [HELP]

@kcmalik
You have a few <<</liveblock> with a missing > at the end. That probably would give you a few issue.

EDIT: @souppilouliouma is correct. The issue here comes from $var lte $totalpts. If you remove that part of code it will get to 0 no problem.
Here’s the edited coded below @kcmalik :
I’ve also removed the unnecessary liveblocks (only one is needed) and the empty elseif

<<liveblock>>
<<link "<-">>
    <<set $strengthvalue -= 1>>
    <<set $totalpts += 1>>
    <<update>>
<</link>>

$strengthvalue

    <<if $totalpts gt 0>>
            <<link "->">>
                <<set $strengthvalue += 1>><<set $totalpts -= 1>>
                <<update>>
            <</link>>
    <</if>>

<<link "<-">>
    <<set $luckvalue -= 1>>
    <<set $totalpts += 1>>
    <<update>>
<</link>>

$luckvalue

    <<if $totalpts gt 0>>
        <<link "->">>
            <<set $luckvalue += 1>>
            <<set $totalpts -= 1>>
            <<update>>
        <</link>>
    <</if>>


<<link "<-">>
    <<set $intvalue -= 1>>
    <<set $totalpts += 1>>
    <<update>>
<</link>>

$intvalue

    <<if $totalpts gt 0>>
        <<link "->">>
            <<set $intvalue += 1>><<set $totalpts -= 1>>
            <<update>>
        <</link>>
    <</if>>


$totalpts<</liveblock>>

To take care to avoid the negatives, you can wrap the <- links with:
<<if $statvar gt 0>> <</if>>
The link will disappear if the stat reaches 0.

Hope this heelps~~

<<liveblock>> and <<update>> macros

Because they are a custom macro (from Cycy, and iirc from the Twine server, it should be added to the next update??? Edit: it’s going to be something similar, oops). They essentially do a <<replace>> and update variable without changing pages/using the <<replace>> macro.
