List of array elements as links?

HappyFork

Hello all,

I'm trying to make a rudimentary inventory system with the Harlowe macros. I've got an array of strings and a passage that lists those strings. What I'm trying to do is make each item name link to a passage that has some flavor text and things to do with the item. I found a tutorial that uses the (click:...)[(display:...)] macros, but I would rather not have the flavor text open IN the inventory screen because that could get messy with many items.

Alternatively, if there is a way to make it so other (click:)s will undo the hook of a previous (click:), that could also work.

Thank you in advance!

Based on your original post you know how to create the list of links and you just want the link to navigate the reader to a another passage containing the information about the selected link. If this is the case you need to replace the (display:) macro in your example with a (go-to:) macro.

(click: ...)[(go-to: "the target passage name")]

Wow! That's exactly the macro I was looking for. I must have passed over it in the documentation. Thanks so much!
