dynamic macro in SC2 T2

twinesims

I am using <<timed>> macro in Sugarcube 2 in Twine 2.
How can I specify the time interval dynamically?

Instead of <<timed 3s>>
I want to use <<times $interval>>

Thanks in advance.

You can use a <<print>> macro to dynamically convert a String value into actual macro code.

<<set $delay to "5s">>

<<set $action to "<<timed " + $delay + ">>Hello World<</timed>>">>

<<print $action>>

@greyelf Why would you do that when you can simply give it a variable? The Stupid Print Trick™ is only required when you must capture a value.

Simply give it a variable—just as you seem to want to do.

For example:

/* Using a temporary variable here. */
<<set _interval to "3s">>
Thunderbirds.  Are.  <<timed _interval>>GO!<</timed>>
