Probably already answered: got a die/dice, want to display button depending on result

rafaxexerafaxexe
in Help! with 2.0
This is what I got, a friend helped me out so button could only be pressed once, I actually have no clue on html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 ALIGN=center>
<button id="boton" onclick="myFunction()">Try to hit</button>
<h2 ALIGN=center id="demo"></p ALIGN=center>
<script>
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("boton").disabled = true;
var x = Math.floor((Math.random() * 20) + 1);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =x;
if ( x <= 5 ) {
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML += "<p>You fail your attack";
} else {
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML += "<p>You hit";
}
}
</script>
</h1 ALIGN=center>
</body>
</html>
the text was something different but this is just fine for you guys to understand what I want to do :P
I tried replacing "You fail your attack" with "Fail but, as you can conclude, no result

It would be awesome too to keep the random number hidden, and yes, I know there are better ways to do this but, those were too hard for me, sorry.

So, if anyone is willing to kindly help me, thanks in advance :D

    Can you maybe explain more what you are trying to do, because I cannot seem to get the crasp of your endgoal. Also please give us the full version number of both your version of Twine and the Story Format you are using.

    Sorry for not asnwering before, didn't know my question would be approved so fast.

    Plus, I had introduced a spoiler that now is dissapeared for some reason, i'll just resend it and explain myself

    Version: Harlowe 2.0.1
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
    <H1 ALIGN=center>
    <button id="boton" onclick="myFunction()">Attack the beast/throw the die/whatever message</button>
    <H2 ALIGN=center id="demo"></H2 ALIGN=center>
    <script>
    function myFunction() {
    document.getElementById("boton").disabled = true;
    var x = Math.floor((Math.random() * 20) + 1);
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =x;
    if ( x <= 5 ) {
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML += "<p>11";
    } else {
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML += "<p>12";
    }
    }
    </script>
    </H1 ALIGN=center>
    </body>
    </html>

    In my story this is something that happens after you decide to either do a thing or another, so you can dodge this event or autowin it with other route, it won't be frustrating at all, but I want to:

    Make it random A or B outcome, maybe even without the reader/player knowing what's the numerical result, just the forced path (or forced different paths) that he can take from here.

    I tried to just copy and paste the Tw-link thingy I can read when inspecting an element, it didn't either work out, so, resuming:
    What is "Harlowe 2.0.1's way" to create a link from a scrpit
    How can I make in html the number to exist but not show?

    I'm not sure why you are trying to using Javascript to do this when it can easily be done using Harlowe's version of TwineScript.

    You can use:
    A. a (link:) macro to show a single click link.
    B. the combination of a (random:) macro, a (set:) macro, and a temporary variable to obtain the random value.
    C. an (if: ) macro and an (else: ) macro to check the temporary variable to determine what to do next.
    D. a Named hook combined with a (replace:) macro to update a portion of the page.

    The code would look something like the following: 
    (link: "Attack the beast/throw the die/whatever message")[
	(set: _roll to (random: 0, 21))
	(if: _roll <= 5)[
		(replace: ?result)[_roll<p>[[You fail your blow|11]]]
	](else:)[
		(replace: ?result)[_roll<p>[[You hit with strength|12]]]
	]
]
|result>[]

    This is so much easier, I just wasn't able to find that info on my own, thank you a lot and sorry for asking dumb questions :smile:

    Now I know where to find most of the stuff I'd work with, really, this is way more simple than understanding javascript, that is a pain in the ass for a non-native english speaker as me :heart:
