Permanently Changing a Variable as the Result of a Choice

Gingerjack

I have decision points that not only advance the story, but also change a variable. The code I've used so far helps me exit the if statement, but it doesn't permanently change the variable. I need to be able to track it over the course of the story.

Code:
(set:$1st to 1)
(if:$1st is 1)[
|choice>[
(link: "A) \“Hello .... District\”")[
(set:$1st to 2)
(replace: ?choice)[“Hello ... District.”]]
(link:"B) \“Good .... cause.\”")[
(set:$1st to 2)
(replace: ?choice)[“Good .... cause.”]]
]](else:)[ERROR]

You need to initialize it somewhere else (possibly in storyinit). The code above will reset the value every time you return to the passage.
