Hoverlink menu?

Snoother

I'm trying to find a way so that whenever the player hovers over a hyperlink a menu pops up above it with a verb/action list. e.g. if they mouse over an object like 'television' a menu comes up suggesting 'watch' or 'turn off' or other similar verbs.

I can't find any macro that is at all like this. And my ability to write code is worse than appalling. Can anyone help?

Much appreciated,
Snoother

There are lots of ways to do this, of course, but this is probably one of the easiest:

It requires that you know something about importing third-party jQuery plugins and applying various settings, though.

I have one (already coded) for SugarCube.... Is that what you are using?

Nm. I see that you are.

This one works for 2.0, but you're welcome to try it.

Come to think of it, I am CERTAIN TheMadExile wrote it.

This part is in the passage where you first introduce it

You see <<popup "a door" "Doorway">>... or maybe you [[walk to the window]]

Then this goes in the Doorway passage you create

Do you
[[Kick the door open|KickDoor]]
[[Slowly open the door|OpenDoor]]
[[Inspect the door|InspectDoor][passHours(2)]]

And then in your javascript you put this

/*pop-up*/
macros.add("popup", {
	version: { major: 1, minor: 0, revision: 0 },
	handler: function ()
	{
		if (this.args.length < 2)
		{
			var errors = [];
			if (this.args.length < 1) { errors.push("link text"); }
			if (this.args.length < 2) { errors.push("passage name"); }
			return this.error("no " + errors.join(" or ") + " specified");
		}

		var el = document.createElement("a");
		el.innerHTML = this.args[0];
		el.className = "link-internal link-popup";
		el.setAttribute("data-passage", this.args[1]);
		UISystem.addClickHandler(el, null, function(evt) {
			var dialog = document.getElementById("ui-body");
			$(dialog)
				.empty()
				.addClass("dialog popup");
			new Wikifier(dialog, tale.get(evt.target.getAttribute("data-passage")).processText().trim());
			return true;
		});
		this.output.appendChild(el);
	}
});

NOTES:
Ignore the pass 2 hours... I was testing Claretta's thing.
Doorway (as a passage) will look disconnected. Don't worry about it. It's normal.

Hope that helps.

That's quite close to what I'm looking for -- thanks!
