I7: how to categorically narrate failure for multiple try statements in a row?
|
| |
Hi all, please tell me I'm missing something obvious here. Given: Instead of waiting: try the first stored action; try the second stored action. ..I would like to do something generic (i.e., not tied to what the action actually is) when either or both of these fail.

Hello, I wonder if you folks can advise me. I'm trying to test my I7 project in the I7 editor, and I've run into a persistent crash. In one of the test paths I've set up, my story runs for 268 turns, doing various things, and then, at a point when an action causes an indexed text to be manipulated a bit and then printed out, the editor reports:... more »
