HAS item / NOT HAS item

18 years ago

I've got a link that I only want to be available if the player doesn't have any weapons. I proceed to set the restrictions so that all weapons are NOT HAS, but when I test the story, the link still shows every time? How do the HAS, NOT HAS options work - can I only have one NOT HAS, or does each weapon restriction have to have its own link or something? Any help please :)

So you want the suer to only be able to see a link if they have NO items?

Just not some of the ranged weapon items. I know that I could have a variable to say wether an item has been picked up or not, and do that for each item, then say if variable (for any ranged weapon) = 0 then don't show the link, but I thought it would be simpler (and less variables) to use the HAS NOT option under the Items tab in restrictions.

Can you add me as a co-author? so I can check it out. I'l remove myself afterwards.

LOL - I found the problem!

What I wanted was for it to show only if they DID have the items - and my restrictions made it show only if they DIDN'T have the items, so it was actually doing what it was supposed to - but I was misreading my own option :)

I've got it working now!
