Here's the suggestion: it would be great to be able to use eval tags in notification titles. For example, this would allow a notification to display the number of points a player has throughout the game and change that number from page to page. Currently the only way to keep the player updated on their points (to my knowledge) is to have either a notification button to display the points when pushed or to tell the player with a Say action on every page.

Here's the bug:
I use the Say action and insert an eval tag in it:

Code: Select all

apples+1

When "apples" is equal to 1, this code yields 11 instead of 2. However when I do

Code: Select all

apples-1

it gives 0. Furthermore, you can get around the issue by doing

Code: Select all

apples-0+1

to get the expected value of 2. It follows the same behavior when trying to add two variables as well.

apples

apples = apples + 1

apples += 1

apples++

apples = apples + 10

apples += 10

Isn't it simpler to just make a button that makes for example "a = 0" that will reset the value of variable "a" to 0. Of course if the default number for said variable is a 100... then you put in code "a = 100" , so it gets its starting value. Basically copy your "Initializaton" values, to Re-initialize the whole thing with a button. Of course for this button to work without going anywhere it should loop to the same page. I tested it with a single variable... after clicking on the button my variable went from number 26 to 0 and then started to "accumulate" again, but it should work for any number of variables.

• Allow png and gif images.

• Page Labels - Basically an "Action" on a page that doesn't do anything other than being a placeholder with a unique name. Then you can use pages.goto('pagename:label') to jump to that label within a page.

• Image Action - Allow clearing displayed image. I want a help page that can be opened up any time, but want to clear the background to just show text. Now I could use a transparent png, but png images aren't allowed.

• Image Gallery - Allow users to have their own personal galleries, and a tease can pull images from it (maybe based on tags or some sort of grouping capability)

You should only use "apples" without + or -, if you want to display the actual numerical value of how many apples you have.

Code: Select all

apples

If you want to add more apples you should use Eval and write proper counter. Here is an example if I want to ad 1 apple to my apples.

Code: Select all

apples = apples + 1

Why would you need... 150... variables... that's just mind boggling number... are you going to make an intergalactic spaceship... and not a milovana tease. Are you sure... you need that many...

I don't think anyone needs that many variables. Are you putting a variable on every page... why do you need so many?! Even 10 variables is probably overkill for most things.

OK... maybe you need them... you can initialize more than one variable in one line by using separator ";"

here is an example.

Code: Select all

var money = 0
var time = 0
var x = 0

Would become...

Code: Select all

var money = 0; var time = 0; var x = 0

But I still can't imagine why you would use so many... why would you track a 150... variables... what for... does every girl have her own variable. It would be interesting 150 different girls with their own variables...


P.S. Now I looked at your Snakes and Lingerie tease... and still can't comprehend for what you would initiate this many variables.

I know 150 sounds crazy, Snakes and Lingerie used 28 variables. I can't give away too much but imagine getting lost in a maze tease that never plays the same way twice Thanks for your help, ill try putting multiple vars on the same line.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this, but I would love the ability to import a gallery from one tease to another so I don't have to upload the same pictures again.

I have a script running fine with over 600 lines, so I don't think it has anything to do with the number of lines. Most likely there's an error somewhere in the script or you're using a reserved word for a variable. If the problem is saving these variables in teaseStorage you can put them all in a single object and save just that one object with all your variables. I'm not sure if there's a length limit for each teaseStorage variable or not.

xman911 wrote: Thu Jul 04, 2019 3:12 pmNo it evaluates every time, it can evaluate more than one time in a single page (if you want that). Maybe you somehow botched the thing and it's just stuck.

I seem to be good at botching the thing then.

I made a test tease to demonstrate what I'm trying to do and the results I'm getting. In multiple browsers, whenever I press "Do the thing", the first option in the choice shown will say "pizza" (the initial state of the variable), even if the contents of the variable have changed to something else.

pizza = "pizza"

food = "pizza"

var food = "pizza"

I mean, for example, the page has a timer and a choice button.
When the timer starts, a button appears. If I press the button, I will go to another page, but if the timer expires before I press the button, the actions will continue as they should.
I need something like this. Thanks!

Asynchronous timers or Notifications depending on how you want to impliment it
