Cycling link that affects another link (Harlowe)

TQuacky

Hello! I'm pretty new to Twine, and using the forums I was able to figure out a simple cycling link, but now I've run into some difficulty with a slightly harder problem.

I want to have a link to a certain passage -- in this case, called "out" -- only accessible if certain conditions are met.

The code I'm failing at looks like this:

According to the sundial, [it's an hour after sunrise]<time|.

out]<outside|(click: ?wait)[(replace: ?outside)[(display: "outsideLogic")]]
[Wait.]<wait|(click: ?wait)[(replace: ?time)[(display: "Logic")]]

"Logic" is exactly the "Logic" passage from this forum post: http://twinery.org/forum/discussion/4641/very-basic-question-about-cycling-links-in-harlowe with the phrases changed as appropriate ("noon," "afternoon," "dark".)

I can't figure out what to put in "outsideLogic," but I want it to turn the link out into plaintext "Go outside." when <time| is "dark".


When I click on "Wait," <time| cycles how it should, but no matter what I put in "outsideLogic," "Go outside" never changes.


I hope this makes sense. Thanks!

I don't think it's possible to have more than one click handler on a single hook, which is why outsideLogic isn't having any effect. A better way to handle it would be to get rid of the part that displays outsideLogic and to put the code into the logic passage. I don't know exactly what you've got in Logic, but something like this will work

{(set: $cycle to (it + 1) % 3)
(if: $cycle is 0)[noon]
(else-if: $cycle is 1)[afternoon]
(else-if: $cycle is 2)[dark]
(click: ?wait)[(replace: ?time)[(display: "Logic")]]

(if: $cycle is 2)[(replace: ?outside)[You can't go out when it's dark]]
(else:)[(replace: ?outside)[[[Go outside.->out]]]]}
