Link-replace 2 choices

Question

Ok, I don't know if you will understand my question, because I don't understand my question either lol

I have a passage with 2 choices.

Ex: Sentence

Choice 1 / Choice 2

If the player clicks on the first choice, he goes to another passage. But if he clicks on the second one, there's a link-replace (like a sentence appear, with the same two choices at the end)

I just can't figure how to erase the first choice if the player choose the second one.

Am I clear?

FYI: I'm using Harlowe twine 2 or whatever it's called lol

Answer 1

Instead of using a link-replace, you could use a click-replace macro string. Example: 

There might be mushrooms that way, which would make a good addition to (link:"supper")[Cherie's favorite chicken soup] if she found the right kind. 
(click:"mushrooms")[(replace:"which would make a good addition to supper if she found the right kind")[which she really loved but her mentor probably wouldn't appreciate very much]]

The same thing works if you've made "supper" into a passage link. :) 

Comments

Due to how the (click:) related macros work internally it is recommended that you try to use the (link:) related macros instead whenever possible.

Answer 2

Please use the Insert Code Snippet button when including code examples with your questions or comments, it makes them easier to see and read.

You can use a named hook combined with a (replace:) macro to achieve the effect you want.

First long sentence with choices at the end.

|firstchoices>[\
[[Choice 1->Next Passage]]
(link: "Choice 2")[\
	(replace: ?firstchoices)[\
		Second long sentence with choices at the end.

		[[Choice 3->Next Passage]]
		[[Choice 4->Next Passage]]
	]
]
]

note: If you are planing to chain multiple of choice replacement effects together on the same page, or if the content the choices are being replaced with is long or complex, then I suggest placing that replacement content within child passages and using a (display:) macro within the (replace:) macro call.

1. The (parent) passage that all the choices will appear in.

First long sentence with choices at the end.

|firstchoices>[\
[[Choice 1->Next Passage]]
(link: "Choice 2")[\
	(replace: ?firstchoices)[(display: "Second Choices")]
]
]

2. Possible content of the Second Choices child passage.

Second very long content that includes \
(if: $variable is "value")[some] \
(else:)[dynamic] \
parts

|secondchoices>[\
[[Choice 3->Next Passage]]
(link: "Choice 4")[\
	(replace: ?secondchoices)[(display: "Third Choices")]
]
]
