Multiple simultaneous choices

Hi everybody,

I'm pretty new to the Twine so apologies if this is a silly basic question.

I would like to know whether anyone knows a way of making multiple simultaneous choices in Twine. So for example choosing 4/6 options; "You are facing multiple enemies but your fireball spell can only reach four creatures; which ones do you choose to target (1) troll, (2) elf, (3) warlock, (4) dragon, (5) giant, and (6) hydra". This is a bit of a silly example but hope you get the point. What I wish to incorporate is a basic multiple-choice structure as in surveys.

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Johnny

    This is awfully late in reply, but I think you can do something like this using the <<checkbox>> macro. It doesn't have a wiki page at the moment but you can deploy it in this format:
    <<checkbox $targets "troll" "elf" "warlock" "dragon" "giant" "hydra">>
    <<button "Submit">>
    The inconvenience is that A) there's no real way to restrict the user to just 4 options until you proceed to the next screen, and B) the means of getting the options out of the $targets variable is a tad uncomfortable.

    You can use the following to find out if the user inputted over four options:

    <<if $targets.length > 4>>
    and you can send them back if it's higher.

    You can use the following to find out whether a certain option (like "troll") was selected:

    <<if $targets.indexOf("troll") >-1 >>
