Any way you can make the link to collect objects come between texts in a block rather than at the end?

Items?

Your phrasing is very ambiguous. Would this be a proper translation:

"Would it be possible to implement a system whereby an author can choose the location of an item thumbnail on a page?"

 

Items?

Precicely.

Items?

Alright. I think it would be helpful, assuming it wouldn't be a hassle for the creators to implement.

Items?

Right, I'm pretty new. Wouldn't want to screw everything up upon arrival.  Just had to split what should have been one page into multiple pages based on where the items were picked up during said page.

Items?

Hmm...you are aware that you can make it so that an item is automatically placed in the player's inventory, right? I don't know how much that would help you, but I can tell you if you don't know how.

Items?

Yeah, that probably would help if I could do that.  Doesn't solve my immediate problem, but I could use it if you don't mind.

Items?

Sure. Here's what you do:

  1. Go to the story properties page.
  2. Turn on Advanced scripts.
  3. Go to the page where you want the item to show up in the players inventory.
  4. Open the page script.
  5. Type in, "$ITEMSTATE01 := 1" (of course, the numbers after ITEMSTATE will be the ID number of the item you are wanting to appear)
  6. Validate and save the script.

This makes it so the item is placed in the player's inventory as soon as the page is loaded.

Thanks.

If I need to elaborate on that or you need help with anything else, let me know. :)

I appreciate it!

Quick question... if I wanted links in game to be restricted due to a person's variable, how would I do it? Like if Sanity was a variable, and the character had 40 of it, but required 70 of it to do a certain action, how could I lock that option up? Better yet, how could I remove that option so it wouldn't even show up, yet show up if he/she had the appropriate amount of sanity?

Items?

Simple. Create the link you are wanting to restrict, then click on the stop sign button near the link. There, you should be able to set the conditions that must be met in order for the link to be accessible. Unaccessible links are invisible by default.

Oh crap... already figured it out and left this question here... my bad.

Items?

Nah, you're cool. No problem. I wish I could've gotten to it sooner.

Items?

Lol I appreciate it.  New story is coming along nicely.  Another cliche zombie story but I'm going to try and mix it up a little.

Items?

If you're making a zombie story, you better make it long and interesting. 

Items?

10 years ago

Well... I hope what I'm making fulfills your qualifications, Your Highness.

Items?

10 years ago

It better. 

Items?

10 years ago

Well... I'll let you know when it's done... I guess... Lol.

Items?

Btw is it just a coincidence or are you using multiple usernames starting with the letter J? o.O

Items?

10 years ago

I would have to be the ultimate troll to coordinate things that perfectly... and then the sorriest troll ever to be seen through my ruse by the first letter of my username.

Items?

10 years ago

Perhaps...but you're not denying it...

Items?

10 years ago

I'm more than glad you noticed. ;)

 

EDIT: I need a profile picture... something spiritual... or maybe out of this world?

Items?

10 years ago

...Then there is the chance that we've spoken before through p.m...

Unless that was someone else.

Items?

First off, who is this other J guy you're talking about?

Items?

10 years ago

Jshadow something.

His story doesn't seem like a troll story. I mean, it's not finished yet, so he could get to the end and write:

"And then the zombies rape your mom in the mouth. Trolololol"

Items?

You can read my unfinished story?

Items?

10 years ago

Yep, by going to your profile and clicking on your points history. I just have to go through, find where you created the game, and click the link. If it bothers you, I won't read it anymore.

Items?

10 years ago

Nah... it doesn't bother me.... does the story seem alright?

Items?

10 years ago

Hmm...I don't think I have ever played a zombie survival game from the perspective of a soldier. So, it might be interesting. I have no grievances thus far.

Items?

10 years ago

You know what? This might sound random, but I really liked your initial profile picture. You know, before all those foxes pictures. 

Items?

Greed from FMA?

Items?

10 years ago

Yeah. I thought you were kind of cool while you were using that profile picture. 

Items?

10 years ago

Just so you know, this isn't permanent.

Items?

10 years ago

Well, when is something ever permanent? Though, I'm curious. How long do you estimate it to last for?

Items?

10 years ago

Well, I like foxes and Fullmetal Alchemist characters, so until I can find a fox that looks like a FMA character. Though, little sunshine fox was doing a pretty good Ling Yao impression.

Seriously, though, I don't know.

Items?

Not as long as this bonsai swag is gonna last.

Items?

10 years ago

Ah, the Japanese and their tiny trees. Of course, I like bonsai too. 

Items?

They're the shrubbery of happiness, the weeds of purity, the growths of tomorrow.

Items?

They're one of the least fucked up things to come out of Japan.

Items?

Cool.. the soldier perspective was to establish the "easy" part, but I'm elaborating to try and develop connections with other soldiers and such.

Items?

10 years ago

Alright. Looking forward to playing the finished game.

There's really no point in doing that.
