My idea was to have it start when the computer boots and then ask me what game do I want to play. That's simple but I want to be able to answer different answers like: Is the input like CS:GO,cs,csgo,counter strike, and so forth and, here's how I tried to do it=
if %game%==1,CS:GO,cs:go,csgo,"Counter Strike","counter strike" goto cs
But as you probably know, it did not work. so the question is how to make it so that "%game%" can be a lot of different things and still goes to the same thing without having to do multiply if %GAME%==...?
and here's the whole code if you want to see it=
#echo off
color a
cls
:start
echo what game do you want to play?
echo 1/"CS:GO"? -"Counter Strike: Global Ofensive"
echo 2/"H&G"? -"Heros & Generals"
echo 3/"P2"? -"Portal 2"
echo 4/"UT"? -"Unturned"
echo 5/"LO"? -"Loadout"
echo 6/"DAB"? -"Double Action Boogaloo"
set /p game=vwhat game?:
if %game%==1,CS:GO,cs:go,csgo,"Counter Strike","counter strike" goto cs
pause
goto start
:start
echo what game do you want to play?
echo 1/"CS:GO"? -"Counter Strike: Global Ofensive"
echo 2/"H&G"? -"Heros & Generals"
echo 3/"P2"? -"Portal 2"
echo 4/"UT"? -"Unturned"
echo 5/"LO"? -"Loadout"
echo 6/"DAB"? -"Double Action Boogaloo"
set /p game=what game?:
echo /1/CS:GO/csgo/Counter Strike/ |find /i "/%game%/">nul && goto cs
rem other games here...
pause
goto start
/i makes the findcase insensitive, so it will find CSGO, CsGo, cSgO,...
&& works as "if previous command (find) was successful, then..."

I don't know if any of you guys know anything about batch (I am sure someone does), but in regards to this post, I am trying to create a dumbed down DND Assist (something that you would tell you stats to and that would assist you in completing an action irl faster than rolling dice and doing the math yourself.
Currently I have the random num generator somewhat working (although I would like to improve it)
This version is set to choose a random number between 1 and 20, I would like to figure out a way to have the program notice if you roll a 1 or a 20 (Crit hits / crit fail)
Also I need something later that will show me how to save certain values as variables,
#echo off
:Start
Set /a ans="%RANDOM% %% 20"+1
echo %ans%
pause
goto Start
(In regards to saving variables, when the program is ran, it will tell me that I am missing an operation.)
The coloring portion was just for the hecks of it, if someone can show me a way to streamline that section please tell.
Please use lamens terms, Im still not very good at understanding any of this.
(CURRENT ASSIST PROGRAM PROGRESS)

Capitalization detected! Successfully removed! As batch is a case insensitive language, uppercase letters would make noise and make reader close the tab with your question and move on - or at least me.
The whole thing about the choice variable you did was not needed. Just a for loop looping through the color words and checking (case insensitive) if the user input was red, white or blue.
I have decided to call subroutines, not goto to them to save some lines - I usually do it to my programs: you had put 3 separate commands goto START SCREEN which could be simplified calling the subroutine (which means goto to it, but then return) and then goto where you want.
Remember: it is not good for your files/folders to contain a space in their name. This can cause quite many misbehaviours. It is just the same in all languages: when you name variables, functions, subroutines or whatever, don't include spaces! I have renamed it to start_screen.
That's all, follow excellent suggestions by Squashman in comments and read the help of some commands in cmd, typing command /? and you should be fine.
I am coding a text-based batch rpg, but the code reads all variables formatted as :VARIABLE
echo
set
if
etc.
as if it was a sequence of code.
CODE:

In particular, when any class but Cleric is selected, it loops through all classes asking if this is your selected class. When Cleric is selected, it loops back to Welcome to the game, %name% etc.
The thing that makes it loop when you select cleric is that it just goes on, even when you enter "n" (instead of "N"), as SteveFest said.
But there are many issues with your code:
It doesn't account for incorrect or empty input
The if comparison is case-sensitive
no quotes for the if comparison
It's obvious it's going to get much worse with time if you keep using too many goto statements
Take a look in this snippet.
:CLERICSELECT1
cls
set /p question1=Your class is Cleric, is this correct Y/N?:
if %question1%==Y cls goto clerichealer
if %question1%==N cls goto selectclass
:selectclass
If your selection is not Y or N, it will automatically go on, and reach :selectclass. This problem occurs throughout the entire script, so fix them first.
Another thing that most new batch scripts make is the multicommand in one if statement. You could use
if "a"=="b" cls && goto blah
or
if "a"=="b" (
cls
goto blah
)
Notice the quotes " I've added, as quotes will help deal with variables with spaces.
Optionally, you can add the /i flag to if, which means case-insensitive search.
When we want to echo a blank line, we don't only use echo, instead, we use echo(, though there are some less safer methods.
Some variables are not wrapped in % signs.
Multi-line echo requires multi echos unless you want for loops
There was one missing equal sign in one of the set /p statement
Storing passwords directly in a batch file isn't safe, even after making it a .exe file, as most bat to exe converter does make a temporary bat file in the temp directory, which can be easily accessed by malicious users.

I've tried everything, im very new to coding hence the simple codes but im so confused on what's wrong. I've been coding this 4 player game for about 4 days and i've been stuck trying to fix this specific code. Whenever i load up the game I can get here and get through each scenario but then for instance if i chose to ask the first question I could get through all the dialogue BUT the %CODE% doesn't show up because #echo is off. Also, after completing the 1st question it will still ask me this part:
if %SCENARIOP51%==3 (
cls
echo *Alexander* Come with me ill show you...
echo This guy seems kinda fishy...
echo Go (go with Alexander to find out what makes him live forever)
echo Leave (Don't follow Alexander, say you have a group waiting outside and you need to get back to them...)
)
if %SCENARIOP51%==3 (
set /p SCENARIOPP51=Do you want to follow Alexander?
)
Even though %SCENARIOP51%==1 it still has me set /p SCENARIOPP51 even though %SCENARIOP51% doesn't equal 3. Please Help It Would Be Veryyyyyy Appreciated. Thanks! :)
if %ALIVE1%==yes (

echo This house gives me a strange feeling...i can't tell if it's good or bad...
echo -Yes (go in, check the house, maybe it has a planting guide...or maybe theres someone in there...and hey if there is someone, why wouldn't they help you)
Note that this fortuitous? ) ends the if. If you want to actually show the ) here then you need to escape the ) by coding ^). The drawback though is that your if is then not closed for a large number of lines (I'm not going to look through all that code) - and your if %SCENARIO51% opens (another) nested code-block.
Within a code-block (a parenthesised sequence of lines) any %var% is replaced by the value of that variable when the instruction controlling the block (if, for) is encountered. Hence, your set/p which varies SCENARIO51 will appear to use the previous value of SCENARIO51 for %SCENARIO51% within the block.
You need to look at delayedexpansion - hundreds of SO articles about that.
And also be warned : replying Enter alone to a set/p will leave the variable unchanged.
Since you are using set/p you should also use the format
if "%varname%"=="targetstring" ...
in order to have some immunity to empty/separator-containing strings.
Further, the /i switch applied to if will make the comparison case-insensitive.
And it may benefit you to learn batch subroutines. See call /? from the prompt for documentation.
I have a script of batch (modeled after Joshua in "War Games")
#echo off

pause
echo Which game would you like to play?
set /p WhichGame =
pause
exit
:nogame
set /p areYouSure=Are You Sure?
pause
exit
But, when I enter "No" it still shows the list of games...
You need to remove the spaces between the variable name and the = symbol when using set /p. From:
set /p ifGame =
To:
set /p ifGame=
Otherwise the variable you set has a space at the end of the name. So %ifGame% expands to nothing, whereas %ifGame % will expand to the correct value.
I noticed a post on how to make a batch that opens another batch upon an input. However, I need a way that will make the code pause until the correct input is entered, then continue.
So for example, the code would ask what is the access code?
Then the user would input the correct code, for example 123.
Then the code would say "Welcome!"
Then it would execute another question like "What do you want to do today?"
There would be a list of options:
A. Game
B. Browse
C. Nevermind
The user would in put a, b, or c and the script would start either a game or web browser. If the user selected C, then it would exit.
Thanks for the help!
#echo off
echo Welcome!
echo What do you want to do today?
echo.
