[Sugarcane] Refreshing Passage with state.display()?

Sharpe · February 2014

In Sugarcane, how does one refresh a passage?

I have something like this:

Name: <<print $player.name>> Level: <<print $player.level>> HP: <<print $player.HP>> MP: <<print $player.HP>> XP: <<print $player.XP>> Gold: <<print $player.gold>> You buy a weapon! <<set $player.gold = $player.gold - $price>>

The passage still shows $player.gold as it was before the change.

Can I use state.display() somehow to refresh what's on the screen? If it takes JavaScript script passage, I won't know how to write it for Twine, so help in that regard is appreciated.

The passage's name is "Purchase" so I tried <<set state.display('Purchase');>> but that didn't work.

Thanks!

The <<set ...>> are executed in order. So can't you just put your

<<set $player.gold = $player.gold - $price>>

above all the rest?

No. That's not the real code. This is:

Name: <<print $player.name>> Level: <<print $player.level>> HP: <<print $player.HP>> MP: <<print $player.HP>> XP: <<print $player.XP>> Gold: <<print $player.gold>> <<if $place eq "armory">> <<if $player.gold gte $price>> <<set $player.gold = $player.gold - $price>> "Thank you!" You received a <<print $itemName>>. <<if $itemName eq "Club">> <<set $weaopn = { name: "club", attack: 5, }>> <<elseif $itemName eq "Axe">> <<set $weaopn = { name: "axe", attack: 10, }>> <<elseif $itemName eq "Sword">> <<set $weaopn = { name: "sword", attack: 15, }>> <<elseif $itemName eq "Leather Armor">> <<set $player.armor = 5>> <<elseif $itemName eq "Mail Armor">> <<set $player.armor = 10>> <<elseif $itemName eq "Plate Armor">> <<set $player.armor = 10>> <<endif>> [[OK|Place]] <<else>> "I'm sorry. You don't have enough money." [[OK|Place]] <<endif>> <<endif>> <<if $place eq "healer">> "Let your wounds be healed." <<set $player.gold = $player.gold - $price>> <<set $player.HP = $player.maxHP>> [[Return to Town|Town]] <<endif>> <<if $place eq "apothecary">> <<if $player.gold gte $price>> <<set $player.gold = $player.gold - $price>> You received a <<print $itemName>>. <<else>> "I'm sorry. You don't have enough money." [[Return to Town|Town]] <<endif>> <<endif>> <<if $place eq "inn">> <<if $player.gold gte $price>> <<set $player.gold = $player.gold - $price>> <<set $time = 0>> You sleep at the inn. "I trust your stay was a good one? I'll see you later." [[Return to Town|Town]] <<else>> "I'm sorry. You don't have enough money." [[Return to Town|Town]] <<endif>> <<endif>>

As you can see, it's much more complicated than that.

Even if I could jury rig it somehow, the point is, I would like to know how to use state.display(). I have a game that uses it, but Henry Soule wrote the code and I can't figure out how to adapt it.

<<set state.display('StoryRegions Module','','offscreen');>>

"StoryRegions Module" is a script passage. Don't know what the "offscreen" does, but I've tried adding it (or not adding it, like above) and couldn't get it to work.
