[Twine 2.1.1][SugarCube 2.14] Passing anonymous function to a widget/macro directly
Hey there,
This is more of a cosmetic questions, but still important to me. I'm trying to pass an anonymous function to a widget that would use that function to filter items in an inventory for me. Here's how the call looks like:

This works, but I'm passing a function that was assigned.

[Twine 2.1.1][SugarCube 2.14] Traversing to a passage when a condition is met
Hey there!
I'm in the process of creating a way to automatically travel to a location without entering an infinite loop. Now, I've seen two methods of doing this. There's a topic about this, but I can't seem to find it (not even with google, the title must've been confusing). That concept showed using 'PassageHeader' (?, probably not, no idea...) and a boolean to send the player to somewhere else when an event is triggered.
I also remember TME posted a code, which enables one to override the next passage when a certain time has passed in game (event occurs):
This can be found here:
https://twinery.org/forum/discussion/8533/sugarcube-2-16-0-how-to-display-links-based-on-player-action-without-a-page-reload#latest
Does anyone know more methods of doing this?
Say, I have multiple quests going and I want to go to a passage when a quest is complete (an enemy is slain, a sword was picked up, you lost all your health and died, etc.). How do I manage these without conflicting?

[Twine 2.1.1][SugarCube 2.14][JS] Reading external JSON files and file names
Hey there,
I'm researching some way of reading files in the folder where my twine story is. I'm interested in reading my /images and /templates folders. Since my project will probably grow pretty large in time and I have no idea how to organize all the data (images of potraits, landscapes, characters, maps, etc.) that I'll be using in my game inside the Twine editor, I want to be able to extend my game through external files.
I would want to put images of my items, portraits of characters and landscapes into my /images folder and then .json templates into my /templates folder. Both folders would have their own subfolders.
I would like to specify the data such as properties of my game objects inside the .json file and then assign random image paths from the corresponding images folder to the object, then use 'new' and prototype inheritance to generate game objects when my twine game starts.
Example:
/images/Enemies/Goblins/Portraits holds the following files: GoblinPortrait1.jpg, GoblinPortrait2.jpg, GoblinPortrait3.jpg
/images/Enemies/Goblins/Characters holds the following files: GoblinStand1.jpg, GoblinStand2.jpg
/templates/Enemies/Goblins holds Goblin.json, GoblinSoldier.json, GoblinMaster.json, GoblinWorker.json
I would build a list of GoblinPortraits and another list for the GoblinStand images and then randomly assign the paths to these images to my Goblin enemy game objects. The properties of the Goblin enemy game object would be read from the .json file and then when needed instantiated using the new operator.
I'm very new to web development, but I'm very eager to learn and experiment.
My question is, is this possible locally on the users computer or do I have to host these files somewhere on the web? What are the possible solutions to this problem considering that I use Twine 2, SugarCube 2.14 and JavaScript?
I read that, I'd need JQuery to deserialize the templates of my game data, but I find no clear solution to reading filenames of a folder using JavaScript. It seems I'd need to setup Node.js or something to be able to read the file names, but that would turn my game into a server client... eh, it seems too much compared to the benefits that I'd gain from going through setting it up let alone getting it to run.

How do you regex an entire page before it outputs to reader? [Sugarcube 2.1]
Hi. Thanks for all your help.
I've been writing stuff using a lot of twinescript and I just realised I need to run a regex at the end to clean up some grammar mistakes.
Is the text printed into Twinescript saved to a variable somewhere before it's output to the page? I could just regex that in javascript. Alternatively, is there a way to make a replace function fire on the entire passage or an entire element right before it becomes visible to the reader using TwineScript somehow?
TLDR: This is basically my problem. How do I fix it without changing anything inside the print macro?

2.1.1 Harlowe 2 Debug window covers right side of game text--any fixes?
Hello all,
As the title says, the debug window in Harlowe2 lists all the variables in it, which is great, but it is placed over the right side of the text, hiding it. Is there any way to stop it from doing that? It doesn't seem to have a resize, but again, I could just be being dense.

Is CSS really working differently with Harlowe 2.0? Help
So I was thinking about converting my big Path of Honors project to Harlowe 2.0 to get the hidden link benefits etc. I changed the story format from 1.2.3 to 2.0 and everything is now a mess that seems to go back the the CSS that worked in 1.2.3. For example this is the CSS I used in the 1.2.3 to color the whole screen
body{
background-image: url("https://historicalsimulations.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/bg23.png");
}
And it no longer works in 2.0
Also this
body{
background-color: #cccccc;
}
No longer works in 2.0 and it appears
tw-story won't change the whole story color
I'm probably just being dense, but any help on the specific selector for changing passage color, why the background-image no longer works, and if CSS is behaving differently in Harlowe 2.0 would be most appreciated. Trying to teach kids here.

using symbols with If statements using variable In Harlowe 2.1.1
Ive been having some trouble. I don't know if twine just doesnt support what im trying to do or if there is another way to go about it. basically when a variable reaches a certain point i want something to happen. however since it deals with negatives and positives and the exact number they could have can change I can simply say
first passage is this.
(if: $var is -1)[ blah blah blah]Here's what ive been doing and there is not error message it just doesn't do what is after the if statement even when it is a negative.
first passage is this.
(link: "test")[(set: $affection to -1)(goto: "test2")]this is on the second passage test2
(if: $affection is < 0)[ You are dead.] (print: $affection)When it prints the variable it is indeed -1 however it does not show the you are dead text. any help would be appreciated.

I first need to figure out if I can traverse all the passages, how to get a reference from one passage to any other that it points to and then retrieve the `timed` value.

[Harlowe 1.2.3] Startup Passage seems to break formatting on the following passage
Hey guys -
I've built a passage with all my initialization variables with the startup tag, and it seems to work fine and indeed establishes variables no matter where you jump into the story, but it does break the formatting on the first line of whatever passage you start at.
So for instance the Story Starting Point's first line is the title of the game using Heading markup:
#Title of the Game
Works fine without a startup passage, but with the passage it prints it as unmarked up text, showing the Hash.
Tried a few things, adding carriage returns, etc, but it seems to always close the whitespace and then disable that first line's markup. Any tips on a fix?
