dynamically change button text [Twine 2, SC 2]
Hey everybody,
I'm in need of a button (which triggers an audio play macro), which can be pushed only twice. My go was:
After two clicks, the replacement macro is correctly triggered, but what do I need to do in order to change the button text after the first click?
I'm in need of a button (which triggers an audio play macro), which can be pushed only twice. My go was:
<<set $counter to 1>> <<set $btntxt to $counter+1 + " more time(s)">> <span id="btn"> <<button $btntxt>> <<set $counter -=1>> <<if $counter eq 0>> <<replace "#btn">>No more tries!<</replace>> <<endif>> <</button>></span>
After two clicks, the replacement macro is correctly triggered, but what do I need to do in order to change the button text after the first click?

tried your way, but the button gets stuck after the second click. It seems the condition in <<else>> is never met or the button doesn't run the if macro after the first click.
Here's my go (based on yours):
I'd suggest looking at my example again—more closely this time. Here it is again, modified only to use you new "listen!"/"listen again" text, rather than what you originally asked for, and the <<audio>> macro invocation:
The example you posted in your last post did not work (I am not implying that it is your duty to provide working code). So in order to understand it, I tried to simplify it a bit (especially the part with the plural-s made it hard for me to understand), during which I obviously messed it up.
The above example does not work either (again, I am not implying that it is your duty to provide working code, I am just unable to fix the issue), so what I went for in the end is two buttons with replace macros:
Not elegant, but works.
Thanks again, euba
I tested both of the code examples I've given here and I guarantee you that they do, in fact, work. If they are not working for you, then you are simply doing something incorrectly. That's what I was getting at with my previous admonishment—it, again, was not an indication of offense.
Apologies! An error has occurred. You may be able to continue, but some parts may not work properly. Error: <<replace>>: no elements matched the selector "#btn>button".

Using my last example as the base, the following should work in both Play and Test modes—and the published HTML. I only altered the selector.
