[MODDING] choice hidden="true"

[atroche]

What does the 'hidden' attribute of choice elements indicate? I can't work out why some <choice>s have it set and others don't. They seem to appear in the game, "hidden" or not.

Cheers!

I think hidden refers to whether or not the choice is blue or not, but don't quote me on that one.

I added it to the tutorial text to see if there are any noticable differences, but there aren't. It must be something technical that goes on in the background. Not sure what.

Took me a little while, but I worked out what it does.

When one of the choices results in an event where you get scrap, resources or a weapon, it by default displays what you get in the choice text.

E.g. the difference between

1. Scan the asteroid field for minerals (45 scrap)

and

1. Scan the asteroid field for minerals

is that in the latter, hidden="true".

Oh, interesting! That would explain why nearly every option seems to have that enabled, lol.

Thanks for figuring that out!
