Limited amount of choices

timnitro

Say I have 3 choices :
Take flashlight
Take backpack
Take matches 

And I only want a player to be able to choose two choices. Is there A way I can do this simply?

This is one method in sugarcane..

Start:
<<set $inventory = []>>

Choices: (put nobr in the tags)

<<if $x neq 2>>
Choose two items:<br>
<<if $inventory neq "flashlight">>
[[Take flashlight|Choices][$x++;$inventory.push("flashlight")]]<br>
<<endif>>
<<if $inventory neq "backpack">>
[[Take backpack|Choices][$x++;$inventory.push("backpack")]]<br>
<<endif>>
<<if $inventory neq "matches">>
[[Take matches|Choices][$x++;$inventory.push("matches")]] <br>
<<endif>>

<<else>>
You are now carrying <<print $inventory[0]>> and <<print $inventory[1]>>.
<br>
[[Continue|NextPassage]]
<<endif>>

While Daza has you on the right track with a list-style inventory, you may be a bit too new to Twine to make proper use of that.

You might want to try something like this in a passage called "Choices" with the tag "nobr":

<<if $choices eq 0>>
What do you want to take?<br><br>
<<elseif $choices eq 1>>
You can take one more thing. What do you want?<br><br>
<<else>>
You're ready to go!
<<endif>>

<<if $choices lt 2 and $flashlight is not "taken">>[[Take flashlight|Choices][$flashlight = "taken"; $choices += 1]]<br><<endif>>
<<if $choices lt 2 and $backpack is not "taken">>[[Take backpack|Choices][$backpack = "taken"; $choices += 1]]<br><<endif>>
<<if $choices lt 2 and $matches is not "taken">>[[Take matches|Choices][$matches = "taken"; $choices += 1]]<br><<endif>>

Hope that helps!
