If you need to run the same code on multiple passages, consider using the PassageDone special passage or, for a JavaScript/TwineScript solution, a :passagedisplay event instead. Returns the value of the story or temporary variable by the given name. A side effect simply means that the evaluation of the expression modifies some state. Equivalent to including the nobr special tag on every passage. The playthrough session feature is occasionally confused with the autosave feature, but they are in fact distinct systems. Returns a reference to the current AudioRunner instance for chaining. Like in Harlowe, some SugarCube macros accept expressions and others accept discreet arguments. See the <> macro for its replacement. Passage API. Happens before the rendering of the incoming passage. At the very least you will need to specify a .passage-out style that defines the transition's end state. Periods of ellipsis () signify data that is generated at compile time. Does not modify the original. A sort of simple Twine parser. For example: While every valid expressioneven those you might not expectyields a value, there are essentially two types of expressions: those with side effects and those without. This macro has been deprecated and should no longer be used. The handlers is passed two parameters, the save object to be processed and save operation details object. Anyways, I wouldn't worry too much about maps or sets, but generic objects can be pretty useful, so I'd recommend understanding them. Outputs a string representation of the result of the given expression. Stows the UI bar, so that it takes up less space. The function is invoked each time the .processText() method is called. Does not affect script or stylesheet tagged passages, for Twine1/Twee. Returns the number of turns that have passed since the last instance of the passage with the given title occurred within the story history or -1 if it does not exist. See the Localization guide for more information. The equivalent SugarCube code to achieve a similar result would be: Note: Tag it with the appropriate media passage special tag, and only that tagsee below. Begins playback of the playlist or, failing that, sets the playlist to begin playback as soon as the player has interacted with the document. The def and ndef operators have very low precedence, so it is strongly recommended that if you mix them with other operators, that you wrap them in parenthesese.g., (def $style) and ($style is "girly"). When used to set the volume, returns a reference to the current AudioTrack instance for chaining. Widgets should always be defined within a widget-tagged passageany widgets that are not may be lost on page reloadand you may use as few or as many such passages as you desire. For . : fired, triggered) to notify code that something has taken place, from player interactions to automated happenings. This setting has been deprecated and should no longer be used. Navigation events allow the execution of JavaScript code at specific points during passage navigation. Suggestions for new entries may be submitted by creating a new issue at SugarCube's source code repository. If SugarCube is reloaded by the browser for whatever reasone.g., due to a refresh, back/forward navigation, being unloaded in the background, etc.then the session is restored. Note: Returns a new array consisting of the source array with all sub-array elements concatenated into it recursively up to the given depth. Controls the playback of the playlist, which must be set up via <>the deprecated <> may be used instead, though it is not recommended. Returns the playlist's current time in seconds, or NaN if no metadata exists. Displays the loading screen, if necessary. If there were errors, an exception is thrown. See Guide: Media Passages for more information. A data type refers to the "type" of data a variable is holding, such as a number, a string, an array, or anything else. SugarCube is a free (gratis and libre) story format for Twine/Twee. For example, you may use the following JavaScript code to record the last non-menu passage into the $return story variable: (Twine2: the Story JavaScript, Twine1/Twee: a script-tagged passage). Gets or sets the track's current time in seconds. For accessibility reasons, it's recommended that you wrap each <> and its accompanying text within a element. Valid values are boolean true, which simply causes the autosave to be loaded, the string "prompt", which prompts the player via a dialog to load the autosave, or a function, which causes the autosave to be loaded if its return value is truthy. Group IDs allow several tracks to be selected simultaneously without needing to specify each one individually. Because the style markups use the same tokens to begin and end each markup, the same style cannot be nested within itself. Use the Edit Story JavaScript story editor menu item for scripts. Strings are iterated by Unicode code point, however, due to historic reasons they are comprised of, and indexed by, individual UTF-16 code units. Object that authors/developers may use to set up various bits of static data. Activates the moment at the given index within the full state history and show it. Track descriptor objects come in two forms and should have some of the noted properties: Deletes the playlist with the given list ID. Passing the name of a variable as an argument is problematic because variable substitution occurs automatically in SugarCube macros. Returns a reference to the UIBar object for chaining. Deletes the specified on-load handler, returning true if the handler existed or false if not. blazing fast internet with unlimited dataespecially true for mobile users. StoryInit is run, as always. Attempting to do so will, usually, result in something that's non-functional. The story history is a collection of moments. Macro context objects contain the following data and method properties. Does not modify the original. When used to set the shuffle state, returns a reference to the current AudioList instance for chaining. Deprecated: Causes leading/trailing newlines to be removed and all remaining sequences of newlines to be replaced with single spaces before the passage is rendered. For example, if the name of SugarCube's directory is sugarcube, then the name of the .py file within must be sugarcube.py. Does not modify the original. Hides the loading screen, if no other locks exist. Dialog API. Deletes the audio group with the given group ID. Randomly removes the given number of members from the base array and returns the removed members as a new array. Happens after the rendering of the incoming passage. Used within <> macros. Several UI API methods have moved to the new Dialog API. Stops playback of all currently registered tracks and force them to drop any existing data. Returns a reference to the current AudioRunner instance for chaining. Toggles classes on the selected element(s)i.e., adding them if they don't exist, removing them if they do. The list options are populated via <> and/or <>. Returns the current state of the engine ("idle", "playing", "rendering"). Note: State.top is not a synonym for State.active. Once unloaded, playback cannot occur until the track's data is loaded again. Prior to SugarCube v2.10.0, the strings localization object was named strings. There are many ways to use and interact with variables. A decision I made was that all the individual strings in the array will also match the object's passage names. They are defined via the Template API. Harlowe has stricter typing than SugarCube, requiring authors to call macros like (str:) or (num:) on variables to change their type. Functionally identical to <>. Creates a single-use link that deactivates itself and prepends its contents to its link text when clicked. Immediately forwards the player to the passage with the given name. See the Engine API docs for more information. Property attributes, including getters/setters, and symbol properties. Donate Requirements SugarCube's sole requirement is a modern web browser, and by modern I mean one released within the last several years (you do not need the absolute latest and greatest shiny). SugarCube does not support the Twine1.4+ vanilla story formats' tagged stylesheets. Completely removes the UI bar and all of its associated styles and event handlers. Returns the variables from the active (present) moment. If multiple passage titles are given, returns the lowest count. The seed is automatically included within saves and sessions, so this is not especially useful outside of debugging purposes. See Also: Renders the message prefixed with the name of the macro and returns false. Executes its contents if the given conditional expression evaluates to true. Returns an array of the story metadata store's key/value pairs as [key, value] arrays. Selects all internal link elements within the passage element whose passages do not exist within the story. The load and playback states of tracks are not currently recorded within the active play session or saves. An array is a list of different words or text, referred to as strings in this blog post. Deprecated: Creates a text input box, used to modify the value of the variable with the given name, optionally forwarding the player to another passage. This feature is largely incompatible with private browsing modes, which cause all in-browser storage mechanisms to either persist only for the lifetime of the browsing session or fail outright. All DOM macros require the elements to be manipulated to be on the page. Properties on the strings localization object (l10nStrings) should be set within your project's JavaScript section (Twine2: the Story JavaScript; Twine1/Twee: a script-tagged passage) to override the defaults. Does not modify the original. Deprecated: Shorthand for jQuery's .on() method applied to the audio element. Returns a reference to the current AudioRunner instance for chaining. Macro handlers are called with no arguments, but with their this set to a macro (execution) context object. Returns the total number of available slots. Note: SugarCube includes polyfills for virtually all JavaScript (ECMAScript) 5 & 6 native object methodsvia the es5-shim and es6-shim polyfill libraries (shims only, no shams)so they may be safely used even if your project will be played in ancient browsers that do not natively support them. Note: Adds the value on the right-hand side of the operator to the current value on the left-hand side and assigns the result to the left-hand side. See Also: Returns whether the slot saves are available and ready. See the :passagedisplay event for its replacement. Opens the built-in settings dialog, which is populated from the Setting API. The entire Options systemMenuOptions special passage, options special variable, and associated macroshas been scrapped for numerous reasonsit was always a hack, required copious amounts of boilerplate code to be useful, etc. Assigns the value on the right-hand side of the operator to the left-hand side.
