hello! beginner here,, this is fairly simple, but i'm wondering why the return is, "Oh Null" B(

    @set met=0;
    @set gender=female
    
Hi there! I see you are {gender}! Take a look around the room!
[left], [right]

[left]:
    @set met=1;
oh.. hi i'm lucas.. 
[right]

[right]:
Oh! {if met=0:{@gender=female: Hi there!}}{else met=1:{gender=female: aww..}}```

If you've found a good way to use this with the seen option please tell, both just don't seem to work for me B(

Hello.

You have some indentation issues, and some syntax errors, and you can't check a condition in your else statement. It's just "else", not "else if".

Try this (you don't indent for JS when using @set):

@set met=0
@set gender=female
    
Hi there! I see you are {gender}! Take a look around the room!
[left], [right]

[left]:
@set met=1
oh.. hi i'm lucas.. 
[right]

[right]:
Oh! {if met=0:Hi there!{@gender=female}}{else:{if met=1:aww..{@gender=female}}}
