User Inserts?

10 years ago

Hi, I'm new to the site. I was wondering, is there any way to let the reader/player insert something into the story? Like this:

He walks up to you and smiles. "Hi, what's your name?"

Is there a way to let the reader insert their name once and let it be consistently used throughout the storygame? Or should I put this as a request in the feature wishing well?

But yes, you can do that, but right now, the easiest thing it to not have any variable names at all. Following that, it's fairly easy to set up a few Names for Players to choose from, and then finally, the hardest is to allow names to be entered in.

Actually, you could make the variable in HTML instead, which would simplify things a lot.

Does Java Script run in the Story Viewer?. It seems like it could work, but it's far from simpler...

Compared to that humongous piece of code, I think anything is simper.

I've requested that feature before. *sigh*
