in passage link

Iume

I have the following in a passage called Sandbox:
<<print "$case1_done = " + $case1_done>> [[Toggle|Sandbox][<<if $case1_done is true>><<set $case1_done = false>><<else>><<set $case1_done = true>><<endif>>]]

The idea is a simple true/false debug/toggle for key milestones in the story.

It doesn't work.  It always stays false which is the initial value.  What am i doing wrong?  Or is there a better way to toggle?

Based on the wiki, I believe that it does not support conditions, only the setting of variables.

yep, that's what I found.
Pulling the condition out of the link works:
<<print $case1_done>>
<<if $case1_done is "true">>
[[Toggle|Sandbox][$case1_done = "false"]]<<else>>
[[Toggle|Sandbox][$case1_done = "true"]]<<endif>>

(I changed the original "print" line to make it work also)

Can you not use <<display>> ?

Create a passage called togglecheck or whatever, and set it's tag to nobr.  Put the code for the toggle check in that, and then when you need it simply use <<display "togglecheck">>.

Have a look at the attachment.

You can do what you wanted to initially, however, the setter component requires Twine JavaScript syntax, not Twine wiki syntax.

As long as $case1_done is an actual boolean (true or false), then this should work:


[[Toggle|Sandbox][$case1_done to not $case1_done]]


If you're using a string, for some odd reason, then this should work:


[[Toggle|Sandbox][$case1_done to ($case1_done is "true" ? "false" : "true")]]
