datamap problem
I am running Twine 2.0.11 of Linux Mint and I have a problem.
I am following a video tutorial, by Dan Cox and I get an error message "You can't get data values from the number 0" when retrieving info from the datamap.
The variables are $weapons, $rooms and $suspects and is coded as such:
{
(set: $weapons to (datamap: "Candlestick", true, "Knife", false, "Leadpipe", false, "Revolver", false, "Rope", false, "Wrench", false))
(set: $rooms to (datamap: "Ballroom", true, "Kitchen", false, "Conservatory", false, "Dining Room", false, "Cellar", false, "Hall", false, "Lounge", false, "Study", false))
(set: $suspects to (datamap: "MissScarlett", true, "ProfessorPlum", false, "MrsPeacock", false, "MrGreen", false, "ColonelMustard", false, "MrsWhite", false))
}
This is the first time I have tried something this complicated. Can someone tell me if the problem is either me or Twine?
Many thanks

Essentially Harlowe is usually the 'default' Story Format when you start TWINE for the first time. So if you haven't used it much or messed with changing Story Format, then chances are, you are using Harlowe's format.
The code that was used, is it ok?
I will attempt to attach the "Proofing Copy".
I am hoping that the problem is my inexperience. I should have pointed out that I am running the Linux 64 bit version of 2.0.11
