Previous hook macro behaviour query
Okay, so since Twine 2.0.2 has been released, I went back to re-visit some old projects written in the 2.0 beta which had utilised the newly introduced hook macros.
You used to be able to do something like (syntax might not be spot on as it wasn't as easy to remember as the newer syntax admittedly):
[Choice 1][1a]
[Choice 2][2b]
<<click ?1a ?2b>> Generic response<</click>>
However, when I try this in 2.0.2, with the revised syntax i.e.
[Choice 1]<a|
[Choice 2]<b|
(click: ?a ?b) [Generic Response]
when rendering in test I get 'Unexpected identified' and the text Generic Response appears.
I've also tried:
(click: ?a, ?b) [Generic Response]//Works for clicking on the a hook, but not for clicking on b hook as it isn't turned into a link.
(click: ?a; ?b) [Generic Response] //Unexpected token error
Also, I'm certain in the beta you could also do something like this (using the old syntax though, for ease I've used the new syntax):
[Choice 1]<a|
(click: ?a) [Generic Response]
(click: ?a) [And then this appeared!]
So the way it behaved in the beta was that clicking the a hook would show both responses in the order they appeared in the passage (i.e. 'Generic response' would appear at the same time as 'And then this appeared!' when the link was clicked but in the specified order). However, what happens now is that you have to click 'Choice 1' twice to see both lines of text, but they appear out of order i.e. 'And then this appeared!' renders first, and then 'Generic Response' appears.
I guess what I'd like to know is - is there any way of achieving the old behaviours of the hook macro (i.e. generating one response to clicking on multiple links/allowing multiple responses to one click) but with the current syntax (which I much prefer!), or if not, is it something that is planned?
Thanks.
