The title is very vague but here is my idea.

I want to have the editor be able to add the following idea:

On a page, 3 links,

LINK 1
LINK 2
LINK 3

All links are linked to one page but have different variable changes, link 1 has var=+1to =1, link2 has var=+2to=2, and link 3 has var=+3 to = 3.

On the page that is linked from this first page, if the variable equals 1, text on this new page should display,
"You have clicked Link 1" or something similar to this. The author can change this to whatever he or she wishes.

If the variable equals 2, text on that new page should display:
"You have clicked link 2" and same explanation as above.

if variable equals 3, you get the point.

This has nothing to do with the variable events of above and below goto page, this is just to make it easier for the author to create the next set of pages without having to create similar pages for each of those individual links (i.e. LINK1, LINK2, LINK3)

Also, if this cannot work with the variables, have a 'Link pressed, display text' instead of variable change display text.

Give it some thought, its just a suggestion.

It looks like what you're asking for is "Conditional Text". This feature does exist, but it is only in "beta". This means that we may change how it is done later ... I'm not sure I'm happy with how it works now. Anyway, here is how you do it as of today ...

%%HEALTH%<%10%Your Health is less than 10%%

%%STRENGTH%>%DEFENCE%You can attack better than you can defend%%

Note, do *not* bold the text -- this is only to help you see . Is this what you're looking for?

One way I thought of doing it before was ....

--------------begin page text ----------------------------

Bla hblah this is just some page text blah blah.

[displayif: HEALTH<10] Your health is less than 10. [/displayif]

asdfasdfasdfsadf

----------------end page text--------------------------------

What do you think? I don't like all the %%%

Those are all neat suggestions.  Here is what I have to say.

What? For the first post.

Nothing for the second.

%s are bad and [] is good.  Hey.  I just made a box.  Anyways the [didplayif: HEALTH<10] Your health is less than 10. [/displayif].    Also, while you figure out how to do that can you add a spoiler like [spoiler] A+B=C[/spoiler]?

I don't understand how the [spoiler] would function ...

Could you elaborate on that?

Try it ... it's been in there for a while. Just didn't really tell anyone about it.
