[EDITOR] Chapter Page Links

8 years ago

The chapters in storygames are apparently for organization for the author and I find then really useful when working on big projects, but branching with them is impossible because you can't go to the pages within them other then the first one with a link from another chapter. It's a pain to make ten new chapters every time you want to branch from a different chapter, so I think it would be nice to be able to put links from pages on Chapter A to go to any page on Chapter B and Chapter C.

I think it would make the link selection (when adding a link) menu too long and confusing. You can easily avoid this problem by using scripts.

$DEST := @p# # is your page no. (you have to enable advance scripting)

Agreed. Unless you make multiple chapters (which clutters down the UI in its own way), there's no good way to send users to different endings/pages within the editor (scripting is a separate beast). I ended up just throwing all the endings in the second last chapter so the links would be manageable

Gotta agree with Negative on this one (wow, that was a weird sentence to type...) unless someone can come up with a solution for the cluttering issue. Massive lists of potential links just within the first chapter are already painful enough, and using $DEST is simple even for someone without any real scripting knowledge.
