Hi! I'm quite new to Twine, and have expectedly come across a few problems. I've searched the forums and wiki but can't find a solution to my problem. I'm trying to get variables and.. I think the reader's history to determine what links are available to them.
So far, my story has 5 parts. I want people to go from Part 1, to either Parts 2 & 3 (they go together) OR Part 4. Either choice should then take them to the other one which they haven't seen yet, but no matter their choice they should end up at Part 5. (For example, they can go from Pt 1 and choose Pt 2->Pt3->Pt4->Pt5, or choose to go from Pt 1 -> Pt 4 -> Pt 2 -> Pt3 -> Pt5.
If people choose to see Pt 4 before Pts 2&3, I don't want the link leading to Part 4 to show up at the end of Part 3.
I'm using Harlowe (I'm not sure which version, but it's Twine 2.0). I've tried a few different things, I'll list them below. I'm sorry if they're way off, I just started this morning.
^^^ This lights up as if it's a proper command, but doesn't create any real links.
^^^^ that's what I was doing first, because I found some examples on this forum of that. It seemed to show the links alright, but it showed them regardless of whether you had already visited them (which isn't what I wanted).
Any help is appreciated![:)]( ":)")

(if: ((history:) contains "The Beginning, pt. 5")[[
What of the village?->The Girl, pt. 1]])(else:[[
It is still snowing->The Beginning, pt. 3]])

<<if visited "The Beginning, pt. 5"=true>>
[[What of the village?->The Girl, pt. 1]]
<<end if>>
