Print message when option is clicked?
Sugarcube 2.0
Sometimes I'd prefer a message to just show up on the same page when a player click an option, instead of the link taking them to a separate passage. I know there's <<print>>, but how do I join that with a link?

If you want the new text to appear somewhere else on the page, you'll probably want to use a combination of <<link>> and one of <<append>>, <<prepend>>, or <<replace>>.
Your post is a bit scant on details, so it's difficult to say which would be best.
I want the room description here.
Then the options here, and here.
And the message to display here when the player clicks one of the options on the line above.
The <<linkreplace>> documentation states that macro was added in 2.8.0 so you need to be using either that version or a later one.
I downloaded it from Twine's main page a couple of days ago. Just presumed the one on there would be the latest??
Although. hold on. I think I was testing the above in the online one.
Just checked and the online one is version 2.0.11 as well.
Based on your responses, I'm going to assume you're actually using SugarCube v1, probably 1.0.34 or 1.0.35, as SugarCube v2 does not come preinstalled in the current release of Twine 2.
To install SugarCube v2, see the SugarCube 2.x in Twine 2 guide.
Thank you.
Unless there's a good reason for using 2.11.0 (aside from the <<linkreplace>>) I'll stick with the earlier version.
@Jud_Casper: I realize the versioning does get confusing! My hope is once you get settled in with a format you're comfortable, you don't have to think too hard about versions.
