Problem with set

Evanvdberg

Hi

I seem to be having a problem with set, I'm unsure what I am doing wrong as it seems to exactly mirror whats on Harlowe documentation.

(set $ai to (color:"magenta") + (font:"cursive"))

then I apply it to a hook as such:

$ai["Hello patient number 24731, welcome back to the world of the living."]

but for some reason when I run this, it gives me the following:

[quote](set 0 to The (text-colour:) macro should be assigned to a variable or attached to a hook. + The (font:) macro should be assigned to a variable or attached to a hook.)

What am I doing wrong? I am trying to apply multiple changers commands or macros to a single hook. I also want one of the changer macros to only apply to one instance of the hook. Do I nest hooks? that hasn't seemed to work for me yet. Also is there an equivalent to <<silently>> in twine 2?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried adding a colon after set, like so:

(set: $ai to (color:"magenta") + (font:"cursive"))

Ah! Of course! thanks that resolved it.
