random variable with button interaction in sugarcube 2

caberg

i have struggle with this problem for 2 days , this is the scenario

i saw a girl surrounded by 5 man in the corner of the street, what should i do ?

(here's the options, 2 default option which available from beginning and 2 other options will unlocked when reach success rate needed)
help her
keep walking and ignore her
stay and look what happen later (need 5 success rate)
pick your machine gun and shoot them all (need 10 success rate)

<<set $randPoint to random(5)>>
Success: <<set $rate to 0>><span id="success-rate">$rate</span>
<<button "the button">>
	<<if $randPoint eq 2 or 3>>
	<<set $rate to 0>>
	<<else>>
	<<set $rate++>>
	<</if>>
<</button>>

with this code , when pressed the button and if the random point reach 2 or 3 ... the success rate come back to zero but increasing with another number

hell even the success rate is doesnt even change a bit ... must be a bad coding i have.

anyone can help me about this ? thanks before. sorry for my bad english, not my mother language

There are a number of issues with your code example:

1. To compare $randPoint to two numbers you need to do:

<<if $randPoint eq 2 or $randPoint eq 3>>

2. Changing the value of a previously displayed variable will not cause the displayed value to automatically update, you have to code the update yourself:

<<replace "#success-rate">>$rate<</replace>>

3. The random value assigned to $randPoint does not change, so the button will always either add one to $rate or set $rate to zero. If you want $randPoint to have new random value each time the button is clicked then you have to move the <<set>> inside the button's code.

Try the following:

Success: <<set $rate to 0>><span id="success-rate">$rate</span>
<<button "the button">>
	<<set $randPoint to random(5)>>
	<<if $randPoint eq 2 or $randPoint eq 3>>
		<<set $rate to 0>>
	<<else>>
		<<set $rate++>>
	<</if>>
	<<replace "#success-rate">>$rate<</replace>>
<</button>>

ah nevermind, already solved the problem by replacing the text options using replace macro inside the button.

but it seems i have another problem, how to add delay on the button so people cant forcing it by clicking it repeatedly , because its look so easy when people clicking the button with insane speeed LOL and i dont want that happen.

please give me advice, thanks before.
