How do you do Choice in Twine Preview 2.0?


There's too many conflicting sets of code online.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I was trying to set up parameters for an if/then choice card.  This is what I put in:

<<set $visited_living_room to no>>

And this is how it looked:

<<set>> error: Invalid character '\u8220'

I  also tried using both <<silently>> and <<nobr>> with <<endnobr>>

Of those, only <<nobr>> worked, but it worked on the entire card -- making a huge paragraph.  And giving me: Unknown macro: endnobr.

Thank you!
Joshua

  • Your "set" code is fine except for some reason your quotation marks are "fancy."

    Normal: ""
    Yours:

    Do you see the difference? (You may not.)

    Get rid of the fancy quotes and I bet that will fix it.

    What OS? What browser? Are you copy-and-pasting from a text editor like Microsoft Word?

    I don't know the answer to the question about silently/nobr. Probably an alpha thing.
  • Yep. Turns out it was because I was copy/pasting from MS Word.  Simply re-typing solved the problem.
    Thanks!
  • No problemo. That was actually my first ever question to the Twine community back on the Google Groups. ;)
  • Thanks, Sharpe. 

    While I have your attention, do you think I can draw your attention to this other problem I can't yet solve?
