Doing something when link/passage is clicked?

CX3

Hey, i am currently trying to blend in with sugarcube. Already got some stuff out of the documentary.

But what i coudn´t find because i cannot put it into the right words:

How to do something (e.g. changing variables) when something is clicked?

The Intention Looks like this:

Passage "Stayhere"

<<set $text to "Hello">>
<<print $text>>

[<<set $text to "Okay let´s talk">>Stayhere| Let´s have a talk]]

same question:
How to do something (e.g. change variables) when someone clicks on an internetlink.

Which version of SugarCube are you using?

2.12.1.

You may either use a setter link or the <<link>> macro.

Setter links will tend to be a bit shorter. OTOH, <<link>> macros give you greater flexibility as they allow you to do as much as you need to when the link is activated.


Setter Link

[[Link text|Passage name][$text to "something"]]

TIP: Never put extraneous whitespace around the passage name in links. Twine 2 erroneously takes that whitespace to be significant.


<<link>> macro

<<link [[Link text|Passage name]]>>
	<<set $text to "something">>
<</link>>

/* OR */

<<link "Link text" "Passage name">>
	<<set $text to "something">>
<</link>>
