Help with Chapel's cycle system

Authoring Twine
1

So I am completely new to coding of any sort. Just for fun I am trying to make a game using Twine 2.6.2 and Sugarcube 2.36.1. I am trying to have a certain passage move forward more than just one phase using Chapel’s cycle system. But I have no idea how this would be done. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

What code do you currently have in your story?
(you can use the Preformatted text button (looks like < / >) in the post editor to paste code)

I have the following in my StoryInit passage

<<newcycle 'time' >>
    <<phase 'morning' 'midday' 'evening' 'night'>>
<</newcycle>>

I have no idea where to go from here. Like a said completely new to anything coding.

Is it just for one part of the project or is it supposed to skip a phase on multiple spots?

Just on spot. So I want to go from midday back to morning with one passage

In that case, you’d want to use <<editcycle 'time' reset>> to have the cycle resetting back to the first phase.

You might find the demo of the macro useful (it has examples of code in action)
