In the story game I'm currently working on, there is a point where three conversation options come up. After doing all of them in any order I would like there to be an option to continue on. The conversation goes something like this.

Main Screen-Option 1- Then Option 2 and 3 are open.

Main Screen-Option 2-Then Option 1 and 3 are open.

Also another problem I've encountered is that after you chose another option, one of the previous ones you already selected is there. How I would like it to go is something like,

You select option one, then option two and three are open, you select option two then just the third one is open. After you select the third one the option to continue on would be open. This would apply if you did it in any order like 3-1-2 or 2-1-3.

It would be cool if you choose option 1 and storyline 2 and 3 opens, or choose option two and storyline 1 and 3 opens. Anyway, as for the links, you just want the player to see all 3 options before continuing on, right? If that is also, try this:

Are you familiar with variables? Are you using the advanced editor?

Somewhat, and yes I am using the advanced editor.

Create 3 variables, have them all set to 1 initially.

OPTION1
OPTION2
OPTION3

Put link restrictions on each link.

LINK 1: OPTION1 = 0
LINK 2: OPTION2 = 0
LINK 3: OPTION3 = 0

Put variable additions on each link:

LINK 1: OPTION1 = 0, OPTION2 = 1, OPTION3 = 1
LINK 2: OPTION1 = 1, OPTION2 = 0, OPTION3 = 1
LINK 3: OPTION1 = 1, OPTION2 = 1, OPTION3 = 0

Should do the trick. Make sure variables are set to advanced.

reading back, it's not exactly what you want, but all you have to do is custom tailer the variable additions.

Alright thanks, I'll mess around with what you gave me and post what I get out from it.

I'm really hoping that somewhat makes sense. It was 5:14 in the morning and it was a long night beforehand, if you catch my drift.

Scripting + Beer = Interesting results.
