This simply produces a link whose text cycles between a number of values whenever you click on it. It otherwise leads nowhere. Feel free to use it to instill feelings of transience, impermanence and variability on the reader - or just use it as a cute silly clickable trinket.
version.extensions['cyclinglinkMacro'] = {major:2, minor:0, revision:0}; macros['cyclinglink'] = { handler: function (a, b, c) { var l = Wikifier.createInternalLink(a,null); l.className="internalLink cyclingLink"; l.setAttribute("data-cycle",0); var v = ""; if (c.length && c[0][0]=='$') { v=c[0].slice(1); c.shift(); } for(var i=0; i < c.length; i++) { var d = insertElement(null, 'span'); if (i > 0) { d.style.display="none"; } else { state.history[0].variables[v]=c[i]; } insertText(d,c[i]); l.appendChild(d); } l.onclick = function() { var u = Number(this.getAttribute("data-cycle")); this.childNodes[u].style.display="none"; u = (u+1) % this.childNodes.length; if (v) state.history[0].variables[v]=c[u]; this.childNodes[u].style.display="inline"; this.setAttribute("data-cycle",u); } } }
New: you can now use this link to alter a variable. If the first parameter begins with the "$" sigil, then it will interpret it as a variable. When the player visits the page or clicks the link, the variable will be changed to match the text of the link.
Usage examples:
* You feel <<cyclinglink "bad" "neutral" "good" "neutral">> about your current situation.
- This is purely cosmetic.
* You see a dial: <<cyclinglink $heat "off" "low" "high" "fearsome">>.
- The $heat variable will be changed to "off" when the page loads, and then to "low", "high" and "fearsome" as the player clicks the link.
Implementation details:
* For CSS users: the <a> tag has the class names "cyclingLink" and "internalLink".
* Each option is an invisible <span> inside the <a> tag. Clicking it causes the next one down to become visible, and the others to become invisible.
* When you click, the "data-cycle" attribute of the <a> tag increases by 1 (wrapping around to 0 at the end). You could select this with CSS, I guess, using [data-cycle=1]
or somesuch.
