Twine 2.6: SugarCube 2.36: Introduction: Links and Passages

This video reviews passages, the smallest units of a story, and links, the connections between them. Something to always remember when creating with Twine is how it shows the connections during editing but story formats themselves process and create links in the created story.

Mr Dan, just so you know, despite the lack of comments on here, know that you have made a positive change for me in understanding SugarCube!

[@ada_nicx]

Thank you so much Dan! I am super glad to find your Twine Series! Go on

[@alienandy]

Might want to point out how easy it is to fall into debuug mode by hitting "Test from here" instead of build/play you'll get the [[Link]]Another Passage showing up.

[@DanCox]

I avoid that issue by not discussing it at all in these early videos. Testing and debugging are part of their own later sub-series to better make sense of the concepts Harlowe shows in the "Test" and "Test From Here" results.

[@alienandy]

@@DanCox That's fair, but if it prevents someone from getting earlier lessons done than it becomes a problem. Maybe make a not "hey be sure to use this otherwise you'll be using debug mode and we won't be covering that now" or something like that.

[@Cesgarperi]

Isn't the "|" bar another option? so your "Example 1" could also be [[Point Example|Another Passage]]
I just learnt that from some other video that I think was introducing Harlowe. Also thank you for this video series because it seems very well structured. Can't wait to learn more!

[@DanCox]

It is another option. I generally don't teach it, though. The "pointing to" syntax is easier to read and does the same thing.
In older versions of Twine, there were only two ways to make links: using the name of a passage or using the bar, "|", to show a different name to a reader or player for the link.

[@derekhandson351]

I never understood, why does Harlowe have the list of options but Sugar cube doesn't?

[@DanCox]

The toolbar? It was never standardized across different story formats. There was a discussion about it a couple years ago, and last year Twine itself added some functionality to support different things, but it remains an undocumented part of how Twine works and not a public standard.
I don't know exactly why the maintainer of SugarCube has not added something, but the reason Snowman doesn't have it is because it remains a secret, and I don't support hiding things from the general public.
