*hide_reuse not working in CSide

[gracierocket]

I’m having trouble with *hide_reuse when working in CSide (and I have now been doing any kind of coding for a grand total of four days, so apologies if the answer is obvious!).

It isn’t throwing an error, it just isn’t doing anything at all. If I replace it with selectable_if, that works fine. But hide_reuse doesn’t do anything. I’ve tried adding it to the start of each #choice line, putting it on its own line ahead of each choice, and putting a global *hide_reuse at the start of the scene. No matter what I do, the choices continue to be visible.

My code looks like this:

``` 
*choice
    *hide_reuse #I'll travel to Middle Earth and see if Thorin would like to help me.
        ${companion} find yourself in Hobbiton on a bright, cheerful morning. You're in the garden at Bag End. Bilbo is hanging out his washing, and Gandalf is sitting in an outdoor chair blowing smoke rings.

``` 

Incidentally, I’m aware this would be a copyright nightmare - it’s not for publication. I’m just writing a little story for my daughter while I learn to use CS.

Example
*commend
    Indent

I really don’t know what’s wrong. I’m sorry.

*label LoTR
*choice
 *hide_reuse #I'll travel to Middle Earth and see if Thorin would like to help me.
  ${companion} find yourself in Hobbiton on a bright, cheerful morning. You're in the garden at Bag End. Bilbo is hanging out his washing, and Gandalf is sitting in an outdoor chair blowing smoke rings.
  *goto LoTR
 *hide_reuse #Frobo!
  Bilbo! Forbo! Bibo! Fobo! And on and on.
  *goto LoTR
 *hide_reuse #My Precious!
  It's mine! Filthy hobbitses!
  *goto LoTR
 *hide_reuse #blankchoice1
  Blankets are cool, Gandolf!
  *goto LoTR
 *hide_reuse #blankchoice2
  I really liked the movies. No matter how changed they were.
  *goto LoTR

*page_break

Works just fine. I don’t run into any issues.

Here:

If you go to your ChoiceScript folder^

Go to your scenes^

Enter the code like this^

Run the server^

Have this black box flash for a second^

And have it open a new tab or window with your game^

That when you select an option,

They don’t stay gone?

ahem, do you exactly know what *hide_reuse is used for?

it is used to hide an option after being used once

so, to check whether *hide_reuse is working: you need to use that choice once, and recall that choice again to see whether it they’re still there or get hidden

*hide_reuse and *disable_reuse reset once you goto a different scene. If you’re goto-ing back and forth this might be the reason.

Thanks so much for trying, friends! I tried dropping just this bit of the story into its own scene and it works fine, so I must have done something weird earlier in the page that was messing it up. I’ll let you know if I find it.
