collecting points, then winning something

jhaque

Hi all,

A problem I'm facing is that I've had a number of variables to collect points for different things e.g $pa $aa etc.

Now what I want is that if $pa has crossed 250 the player has essentially won $pa (lets name that $plove) and in future, instead of collecting more $pa points, I want to be able to use $plove to insert bits of text when necessary e.g.

$plove She hugs you in the dark.

So in a nutshell:

score points through the game
win/lose the variable $
Winning the variable sets a new state
New state can be used to insert text in passages.

Help!

This solution should do what you ask, it relies on you initializing the $plove variable before hand.

Place the following in a startup tagged passage.

(set: $plove to "")
(set: $pa to 0)
(set: $aa to 0)

You can use the following to conditionally increment the $pa variable.

<!-- The following set is used in the example to simulate pa raising to just below the threshhold. It should be removed! -->
(set: $pa to it + 250)

<!-- Only increament pa if plove has not been set/change yet. -->
(if: $plove is "")[

	(set: $pa to it + 1)

	<!-- check if pa has exceded the threshhold and if so assign a value to plove. -->
	(if: $pa > 250)[
		(set: $plove to "some value")
	]
]

$plove She hugs you in the dark.

note: I added indents, extra line-breaks and HTML comments to the above to make it more readable. You should remove them when you insert the code into your Story.
