I've stored the story state in global variable 1, but when I change global var 1, the new text doesn't appear in loading screens. It remains the previous state's text. Does anyone know why that might be?

The problem is easy (I believe).
Store a value is juste for test it (check if the player is at a certain point of the stotry for use the story states as examples).
To change the story state, you have a special script line :
story state set to (num).
The story state will become the number between brackets.
(Sorry to answer after several weeks, I was in Japan)

No worries, I ended up trying that myself and got it working. Thanks anyway though!

One never uses global variable 01. It is strictly forbidden.

I disagree, I used it and there is no matter

My god man, what have you done?! The very fabric of space time as we know it will be henceforth ruptured.

I create a module, that kinda action always changes the elemental laws of our world

Only if you throw in a loop divide by zero into the mod somewhere, naturally.
