If then else turns math ack!

Maybe I’m searching for my answer in the wrong way, but I feel I’ve looked everywhere and found nothing (so I’m sorry if this is a redundant question(!)), but I hope you’ll answer anyway, even if it is~

Every turn: If turn count/3 equals one: say "You feel hungry".

Returns:

This is the report produced by Inform 7 (build 6F95) on its most recent run through:

Problem. In the sentence ‘Unless turn count/3 equals one begin’, I was expecting to read a condition, but instead found some text that I couldn’t understand - ‘turn count/3 equals one’.

I was trying to match this phrase:

If (turn count/3 equals one - a condition):

This was what I found out:

    turn count/3 equals one = [i]something unrecognised[/i]

Please help? :<

Try “every third turn” maybe.

Turn count divided by 3 will be 1 only when the turn count is exactly 3. You need to use remainder:

Every turn when the remainder after dividing the turn count by 3 is 0: [...]

This is an annoying one.
For some reason you can’t use “equals” or “=” when testing numerical conditions in Inform 7.
Use “is” instead.
Also don’t forget the spaces before and after “/”.

Every turn:
	If turn count / 3 is one:
		say "You feel hungry".
