Increasing variable value on button click.

JCatt

Sorry if my description doesn't make sense, I'll try my best to explain.

I'm using Twine to make a "Pick a choice" kind of game. Each option adds a point into one section before moving onto a random passage. I wish to increase the point when a choice is made and go straight to the next "choose an option card".

I know that increasing variables is, set: $Name to $name + 1, and that it is usually done within a new passage.

Is it possible to increase the variable when clicking a button that links to a new passage. Like ((set: $Name to $name + 1))? Or do I need a to have a passage inbetween that'll increase the value?

Thanks

You need to state which Story Format (name and version) to are using when you ask a question, as answers can be different for each one. Based on your markup link example I will assume you are using Harlowe 1.2.2

You can use a (link: ) macro combined with both a (set: ) macro and a (go-to: ) macro to achieve the effect you want. This combination of three macros is Harlowe's version of what is generally known as a Setter Link.

(link: "Link text to show")[
	(set: $variable to "value")
	(go-to: "Name of target passage")
]
