Dynamic Story Scripting with the ink Scripting Language

Chapter 5: Tunnels and Threads

This chapter begins with the concept of a tunnel. Created using multiple diverts and at least two knots (please refer to Chapter 2, Knots, Diverts, and Looping Patterns), tunnels serve as a faster way in which to create complex structures than previously discussed in the last chapters. Following this, we will move on to review threads, which is another way of using diverts to connect multiple parts of an ink project dynamically. Finally, we will look at combining tunnels and threads to make even more complex structures based on the simple rules of how ink understands knots and diverts within a story.

In this chapter, we will cover the following main topics:

• Diverting to a divert
• Pulling on threads
• Combining tunnels ...
