Hey~
I'm rather new to Adventure creator and had a few questions maybe someone here could help me with?
Let's start with the first one-
I wanted to integrate a Relationship system, sort of a menu that shows you your reputation with all the NPCs that you meet in the story..
has anyone tried to create such a thing?
I had a few more questions but the rest I think I could solve on my own >.< if not you'll see me here again ...
any help\advise is appreciated! ![]()

Welcome to the community, @DeathBiscuitt.
You'll want to rely on Global Variables to keep track of such things - these can be accessed at any point in the game, and will have their values saved automatically in save-games.
For example, you might have a Float named "Relationship with X" that represents how close the Player is with character "X".
In your game logic, you could read this value with the Variable: Check Action, and update its value with Variable: Set.
The other benefit of Global Variables is that you can display their values in Menus. The most general-purpose way is to simply display their value inside a Label element using text-tokens. A tutorial on this technique can be found here.
Depending on the Variable's type, you can display them in other ways as well. Float variables, for example, can be displayed in Slider elements by setting the Slider's Slider affects property to Float Variable. This is typically the best option for "meters" in your UI.
