Making links to new chapters!

5 years ago

12-23-18

Problem: Links not allowing me to link to pages from other chapters.

Details: In this Storygame I'm making, I put the endings on a different chapter for quick access. Now, when I try to link a page to the ending page, there is no way for me to access that page. No dropdown list, nothing.

(P.s. I am experiencing this on a contest entry due in 2 days, so if someone knows a fix, please let me know. Many thanks.)

Use $DEST in the link script to go directly to the page.

Links to other chapters just go to whatever page is set as the first one for that chapter otherwise. It's not really a bug, although maybe you could call it a design oversight.

Unless a game is pretty large and complex there's usually not much need for multiple chapters anyhow, they're just something to aid with organization.

That should work. Thanks!

Gonna try to compact them into one chapter then.

Yeah, chapters are meant to be self contained sections, so you only have one entrance point to the chapter, unless you use scripting.
