Sugarcube Dialog Box Abilities

OneGameDad

Is it possible in Sugarcube 2.18 to use a <<link>> or <<click>> to open a dialogue box that then allows for further options? Such as clicking on a rock, which opens the dialog box and then having the options of examining the rock or placing it in your inventory? If so can that be placed within a script that then removes that option should a player return to that passage?

It is possible, but you would have to create a div-element and the toggle its visibility on and off.
For what you want to do, maybe a dropbox would do the trick in a more simple manner. For that you'd have to put something like this into your Stylesheet:

.hover {
    position: relative;
    display: inline-block;
}

.hover .hoverblock {
    visibility: hidden;
    width: 120px;
    background-color: black;
    color: white;
  	border-color: white;
  	border-style: double;
    text-align: center;
    border-radius: 6px;
    padding: 5px 0;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 1;
}

.hover:hover .hoverblock {
    visibility: visible;
}

Then you can accomplish what you want using something like:

@color: CornflowerBlue;Stone@@
	<span class="hoverblock">
		[[Examine|Examine Stone]]
		<br>
                [[Take|Take Stone]]
	</span>
</div>
<</nobr>>

Thanks for the tips @idling

Fascinating. I may have to try that - I have the CSS in my project now - now to figure out how to apply it
