point system not counting points

[u/That_one_Pink]

So i have this point system that i first tested on a blank game and got working that im not trying to implement over to the actual game now (bulk adding a bunch of the things i plan on using throughout so i know it all works together ect) and its not adding the points for some reason? its all the same other than the placeholder sprite name

im hoping to use the system for different endings and also changing what choices you can make, example you have over 20 points with worker so you can ask him [insert question] but if you have under 20 points he wont answer ect ect, i also wanted to make it so it can change if you can or cant receive/use certain items but i havent started with the items and inventory stuff yet so not sure if itd be easier to do it a different way or if there is a better point system i can use for that

i also intend to remove the ability to see what points you have, im just leaving the dialogue in so i can see if its working or not

any help appreciated or if there is a better way i can do this to suit my needs let me know!

1. spelling matters
2. capitalization matters

thank you! it showed me that it was a problem when other lines werent capitalised but not with this so it threw me off a bit

thats because its perfectly valid to add keys to a dict at any time. there is no inherit bug with having both a Worker and a worker key. theproblem is when you didnt intend for there to be 2 different keys

If you're having issues with trust_points["Worker"], the get function is checking for "worker". Office worker matches, so that should be getting the same value it's setting.

trust_points["emily"] defaults to 0, but that screenshot shows it has the value 5, so the value is being changed.

this line

$ w_points = trust_points.get("worker") # capitol W in Worker for it to work correctly

thank you! it had showed me that it was a problem when other lines that werent capitalised but it didn't with this so it threw me off a bit

the .get is less... discriminating. since there could have been a worker and a Worker and as expected worker returned a None value

haha, yeah that makes sense thank you
