I dont know if this question is too stupid, but i want to know if in gamebook mode you can do something like this:

click on a hyperlink and there is a 30% prob. to go to "X" page and a 70% prob. to go to "Y" page.

(* those % are just an example)

Thanks.

Not as familiar with the gamebook limitations vs the text adventure mode, but I don't see much of a reason that it shouldn't work. There are several ways to create a random chance of something occurring, add that into a scrip that runs when you either move to a certain page, or even within the link itself that is disguised as a normal "to next page" button.

At the same time there's the whole thing about making a text adventure that mimics a game book in what the player can see.


A quick example would be just using the built in RandomInt function.
Something like this
*disclaimer, this is quick and very likely inaccurate coding, don't expect this to actually run if copy/pasted into quest*

//this script causes a random split in the resulting page
random_number = RandomInt(0,100)
if (random_number < 30){
	goto page 42
	}
else {
	goto page 578
	}

Thanks! I will try it next time

I don't know about the GameBook that much, but here are the built-in randomization code commands (not sure if they work with~in GameBook):

for the Text Adventure version (don't know about GameBook):

for using scripting for 'goto' movement (non-Exit usage), two different scripts, which do the same thing:

// the GUI~Editor uses this script method for its drop down box choice:
MoveObject (moving_Object_name, destination_Object_name)
// example: MoveObject (player, room2)

~OR~

moving_Object_name.parent = destination_Object_name
// example: player.parent = room2
