SELECT OPTION ENDOPTION ENDSELECT

[[SELECT: question]] [[OPTION: answer1]] … [[ENDOPTION]] [[OPTION(logical_condition): answer2]] … [[ENDOPTION]] [[ENDSELECT]]​

This Action displays a question to the user and waits for a choice among multiple options. Selecting one of the options will display the subsequent text and/or execute the actions present until the [[ENDOPTION]] block related to that option.

  • Example 1: {[[(F), ON_ENTER_ROOM:REPEAT]] You finally found the secret chamber of the dread lord [[SELECT: What do you want to do? ]] [[OPTION: Challenge the curse and sit on the throne]] You dare to challenge the curse! As black light descends upon you, the realization of how foolish you were strikes you... [[QUEST_FAILED]] [[ENDOPTION]] [[OPTION: Read the words on the grimoire]] When you finish reading the words, the candles light up after a silent sparkle, then light starts to spread to all the dungeon. You break the curse! [[QUEST_OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED]] [[QUEST_COMPLETE]] [[ENDOPTION]] [[OPTION]] Nothing [[ENDOPTION]] [[ENDSELECT]]}

In Example 1, when entering the room, the possibility to choose between three options will appear (see figure below). Selecting each of the options will have different effects. In this example, in one case, the quest completion fails successfully, in another case, it fails. In the third case, nothing happens.

Within a SELECT action, you can also use the [[OPTION(logical_condition): answer ]] action, which will only appear if the logical_condition is true.

  • Example 2: {[[(F), ON_ENTER_ROOM:REPEAT]] You finally found the secret chamber of the dread lord [[SELECT: What do you want to do? ]] [[OPTION: Turn on the candles with a torch]] No matter how much you try, these candles cannot be lit by a torch [[ENDOPTION]] [[OPTION(magical_torch = 1): Use the magical torch to turn on the light]] The magical candles light on after a gentle touch. You can feel a magical current flowing through all the room. You break the curse! [[QUEST_OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED]] [[QUEST_COMPLETE]] [[ENDOPTION]] [[OPTION: Nothing]] [[ENDOPTION]] [[ENDSELECT]]}
In Example 2, when entering the room, the possibility to choose between three options will appear (see figure below). Selecting each of the options will have different effects. Note that the second option will appear only if the variable magical_torch is equal to 1. In this case, the OPTION() Action has been used to display a button depending on whether the heroes have found a special object.
