Pretty basic question about printing specific text

spaceoddity

So what I want to do is print a specific passage if and only if the player visited the first of two previous screens and otherwise a different passage would print.

I'm trying to figure out how to do that but I've been foiled at every turn. I've been trying to use the <if visited ("thingy")> function, but I'm starting to suspect that only has to do with numerical values?

Help, please!

You need to state which Story Format you are using when you ask a question, as answers can be different for each one. Based on your example I am going to assume you are using SugarCube 1.0.34

There are two errors in your example:
1. You are using single < and > signs instead of double << and >>
2. You have a space character between the word visited and the open parenthesis (

The visited() function includes examples of how it is used. The following example shows how to use the function to do what you want, it consists of four Passages:

1. Start

Select one of the following options:

[[Option 1]]
[[Option 2]]

2. Option 1

3. Option 2

4. Results

You selected Option <<if visited("Option 1")>>1<<else>>2<</if>>
