Conditional links using Snowman

a52

How can you display different options based on a condition using Snowman? Is there a "showLink()" method, or do you just use "if(this) next_page"?

Edit:
Or Sugarcube, either one. I've yet to decide which, but I know that Harlowe is far too simple.

As explained in Snowman's documentation that story format is designed for people that know how to program using HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery and Underscore.

The following is one way to do what you asked using Snowman.

<% s.someVariable = "value" %>

<% if (s.someVariable == "value") { %>
This text should appear.
<% } %>

The following is the same example as above using SugarCube.

<<set $someVariable to "value">>

<<if $someVariable is "value">>
This text should appear.
<</if>>

Okay, thanks. I guess my confusion was due to thinking that the text would be inside of the code section.

I know Java and C, but my Javascript's a little rusty.

It can be. As I stated in my other comment, that was one way to do what you asked and here is another.

<% s.someVariable = "value" %>

<% if (s.someVariable == "value") { print('This text should appear.'); } %>

... the Underscore library allows you to do the same thing a number of different ways.
