Trouble changing set variables.

vinividivici · April 2016

Hi! I was trying to create a story in Harlowe, but I ran into a problem. I can't for the life of me make the player choose a variable and then store it. I'm trying to set hair colors to be able to refer to it later.

This is the code I have (I did set it at the start of the story):

<b>Hair color:</b> Intro][$HairColor to "black" | Intro][$HairColor to "blonde" | Intro][$HairColor to "red" | Intro][$HairColor to "auburn" | Intro][$HairColor to "brown"<br>

Thank you for your help!

Harlowe does not support Setter markup links.

The equivalent of Intro][$HairColor to "black" would be:

(link: "Black")[
	(set: $HairColor to "black")
	(go-to: "Intro")
]

... I added line-breaks and indentation to the above to make it more readable, the following is the same code without those:

(link: "Black")[(set: $HairColor to "black")(go-to: "Intro")]

Oh, I see, thank you!
