Let's say I generate a number as part of an equation that makes it very likely that it will have a decimal. How can I round it down (that is, disregarding the decimal part) without it being printed automatically?

Help debugging this HTML please
Hey!
I'm still pretty new to Twine and teaching myself basic HTML and CSS. Wondering why this piece of code isn't working? Have tried debugging myself to no avail.
<div class="fade-in four"><i><span class="zuberitext">"Character A speech"</span></i></div>
<div class="fade-in five"><b>"Character B speech"</b></div>
<div class="fade-in six"><i><span class="zuberitext">Character A speech
<div class="fade-in seven">More of the same speech from Character A
<div class="fade-in eight">End of the same speech from Character A" </span></i></div>
<div class="fade-in nine">Do you [[choice|passage]]? Or do you think [[choice|passage]]?</div>
I removed the particulars of the story just to give an idea of the passage shape. The classes I have are a timed fade in for text and particular colour for Character A's speech.
Any ideas greatly appreciated, cheers!

What's the deal with (display:) and computed values?
Hi everyone, I only post as a last resort. This is driving me insane.
the code: (set:$Selection to "(Print:($Options's 1st's Page))") $Selection (display:$Selection)
evaluates to: "Conversation-DoNothing" then error: I can't (display:) the passage '(Print:($Options's 1st's Page))' because it doesn't exist.►
What's up with (display:) and computed values? how can I get around this and have it display the passage "Conversation-DoNothing"? What causes this?
If I write: (set:$Selection to (Print:($Options's 1st's Page))) $Selection (display:$Selection)
It comes up with: Conversation-DoNothing (display:)'s 1st value is a (print:) command, but should be a string.►

Creating If Else Statement
Hey!
I'm trying to use If Else statements to display particular passage text depending on the player's previous choices.
Passage C is reached by the player through Choice A or Choice B (this has a longer path).
I want to display certain text is the player reaches Passage C through Choice A and different text if reached through Choice B.
I've looked at tutorials but can't seem to figure out how to phrase my statement to make it work. I'm using Harlowe on Twine 2.

Previous function doesn't work
I would like one of my passages to have a "Back" link that takes the user to the passage they viewed immediately before. The twine wiki tells me that the following code is what I need.
[[Back|previous()]]
Rather than linking to the previous, though, the above command just auto-creates a new passage called previous() and links there. That's not what I want. What am I missing?

Day/Night and Seasons, How would I Implement with widgets?
Hi,
Ive been racking my brains for several hours with this thinking of different ways to do it without too much javascript as my skills with it are pretty basic.
I would like to count the turns using a variable $turns,so as per another post I know i can use <<set $turns to 0>> in the PassageReady. I already have the variable in my $player.turns so can reuse it. What I would like to do is for every lets say 20 turns set another variable $timeofday ["morning", "afternoon", "evening", "night"] and eventually also have seasons as a variable based on the amount of turns. I can figure out how to do the latter though I know its probably something basic I dont know how to count the amount of turns, I was thinking of lets say every 10 turns the $timeofday changes and every 200 the time of season changes. I am going to do these as widgets and add them to PassageReady/PassageDone
To add some more information the purpose is basic 2 different sets of text/actions occur depending on the time of day (the passages can be revisited), also random events will occur depending on time of day. In addition to this other factors such as health (health system already in place) will be effected depending on $season.
I am using Twine 2.1.1 and SugarCube 2.14
Any illumination on this would be greatly appreciated as I think if I can get this one figuered out it should cascade to the other few features I would like to implement.

Event trigger after a set amount of time? (SugerCube)
Heya, so I'm trying to create an event that appears after a certain amount of time in-game has been reached (using the Javascript shown here).
For example: I would like that after 1 week in-game has happened, it will take the reader to a certain passage/event automatically. But... I'm not entirely sure how I can do that.
I've been looking through the forum and miscellaneous sites for some help but I can't really find anything that works so far.
Does anybody have any tips on how I can do this? Thank you !

Setting variable values within a single passage
I am trying to replicate the menu-based conservation model from Inform 7 in Twine 2.0. I am using Harlowe. While I think I understand how the (set:) macro functions, I cannot figure out how to trigger a change in the value of a variable based on clicking on a link that keeps the reader within the same passage (as opposed to moving them to a new passage where I could clearly just reset the $variable there). Here is the code I am using:
Essentially, I want do want the link "Sweet" to appear until the reader has reader all three segments of the conversation, regardless of which order they are read in. I suspect there may be a simpler manner to achieve this goal.
(set: $convo to 1) Opening text..... Please select one: (link: "(1) >ASK PETER ABOUT HIS MOOD")["It sucks, bud," Doug says, "I can;t figure out how to code this passage," (set: $convo to it +1)] (link: "(2) >ASK PETER ABOUT HIS LIFE GOALS")["To be honest with you, I can't see my way out of this coding challenge at the moment." (set: $convo to it +1)] (link: "(3) >YOU'RE An IDIOT, PERIOD")["Only reason I hang out with you is because you make me feel cool. Get with the program," Doug says. Dougs looks at a floating plastic bag, caught by the wind between two derelict buildings." (set: $convo to it +1)] (if: $convo >= 4)[(link: "Sweet!")[(goto: "Next passage")]

How do I print text based on what the last passage visited was?
I've been googling around for this for a bit now, and can't seem to find the answer. I have a feeling it must be pretty simple, and has probably been asked and answered somewhere (link me please!), but I'm a complete noob when it comes to even simple coding.
What I have are multiple passages which lead to a single passage, but I want the single passage's text to change dependent upon which passage you came from.
I realize that I could have a bunch of different passages that are unique, but the differences are so minor that I know it would be a lot easier in the future if I didn't have to make five copies of a single passage and then edit minor details after-the-fact. If I know the code I need, I can do all the variations in a single pass, and in a single passage.

need help organizing data (Sugarcube 2.6)
Hey everybody,
I wrote a little quiz game, which I am not unsatisfied with. I have my passages, which hold the quiz questions, organized like this:
The first digit (before the "x") marks the difficulty level, the third digit (after the "x") marks the round. So, as players answer their questions right or wrong, they move up and down the difficulty range, whereas the round value automatically increments after each round.
So far so good. But after playing several rounds I found the static approach (that you move automatically from e.g. round 4 to round 5) hinders replayability, because a player will mostly repeat the same questions.
This is why I want to randomize the question path, meaning that the game automatically chooses the next passage from a pool of existing round numbers. So I could just go and
pick one element as the next passage destination, remove it from the array and so on...
BUT:
My questions are follow-up-questions, they are organized in groups of three, e.g. questions 0 through 2 cover one topic, question 3 though 5 the next, 6 through 8 ....
So randomly jumping from one question to another would mess up these blocks of questions.
How could I organize the questions in blocks? Let's say random picks 9, which means the player gets questions 9,10 and 11 and then the next question block is picked by random again.
Thanks for your help,
richVIE
