So I have hunger, thirst, and boredom. I set up a thing where it takes certain sections of the points (such as greater than 8 but smaller than 12 with “and's” connecting them all together) inside of an “if” with something that multiplies another variable, points given, by 1.5, 1.25, .75, or .5. I tried this and it didn't work. Plus it was long. Any other strategies of doing this? It needs at add a certain percent or multiply by a number with a decimal since the points given variable won't always be the same.

I don't totally understand what you are trying to do. Could you use scratchblocks to explain what you did that did not work?

I would, but that would take a while. Here's a screenshot instead: http://i.imgur.com/W4uHBAb.png (The CatCare variable is just something that toggles the entire system.)

why don't you use cubeupload to show the screenshot?

I had a look and it does seem over complicated. I think you may want some ORs instead of ANDs because if, say, hunger was at 2 and boredom was at 12 then none of the IFs arguments would be true.

You can always break down a long logic statement into a series of shorter statements. For example,

((A or B or C) and D) or ((A and B) or E)) could become

F = (A or B or C) and D
G = (A and B) or E

and then put (F or G) in the IF THEN block
