Is the only thing that can be modified inside an OPTION just VAR ?

I was trying to use a SET ASSET within an OPTION tag, and it seems to not recognize it. However I do have one CHOICE in which it sets the a VAR that determines a IFVAR/IFVALUE, and that is working as expecting.

As a sort of explanation, I was tinkering around with the idea of a character selection. I was hoping that I could do something like: SET ASSET="char" image={$CHARACTERSELECT] /... but that didn't want to take either.

It's sort of looking like I might have to tap a programmer friend to see if they can't code an extension for me.

Thanks!

Tried to work around the issue by embedding an IFVAR within another VAR, and it doesn't seem to work.

<pre> </pre>

When I have it read me the value of {$clothing} it's always as "rory_red" even if {$charsel} tells me that it's set as "cole".

Maybe I'm doing it wrong and putting the information in an incorrect order? But it seems to work just fine when I use a SET ASSET when there is an IFVAR/IFVALUE... Well just to double check, I moved the VALUE to the end of the statement, and didn't change the outcome.

Edited by C7N: Added pre and code tags around the code.

I'm thinking the above, has less to do with having multiple VARs within an OPTION tag, but I don't think IFVAR works with the VARs inside of an OPTION tag.

Currently my workaround is to just pass the user through several scenes in order to do a character selection method. It'll be a bit more infrastructure work than I was hoping by keeping all of the character creation on one scene instead of spread out through multiple ones.

Hi @lykanthrope!

The choice command only understands var commands, yes.

You are right, ifvar does not work inside of choice commands. Thanks for pointing that out. I considered this a bug and fixed it.

You can get the new release here:
WebStory Engine Version 0.3.2 on GitHub

Hope that helps!

You're amazing, thanks! I'll download it now and that will help me keep things organized.
