Passage

Passage blocks are used for controlling the flow of the gamebook. For players they are represented as choices for the current slide.

Syntax

[#passage] Enter a dark hall [/passage] ::: passages can also span multiple lines [#passage] Look for other exits [/passage]

Enter a dark hall Look for other exits

Conditional variant

Passages can also be rendered conditionally based on the variables for the current playthrough.

[#passage-if (@courage >= 5)] Kick the door open [/passage-if]

Graph

On the graph each passage is shown as a handle attached to the node. They are rendered in the order of definition in the code.

For the passage to work it must be connected to the entrypoint of another node.

Note

Each node (except for the starting one) has one entrypoint available.

Colors

Colors are automatically assigned based on the number of passages defined:

1 passage:

• first

2 passages:

• first
• second

3 passages:

• first
• second
• third

5 passages:
