How can I lock a certain closet section until later in my story?

[TDAllen]

Hi all!

I’m using the closet template in my story, and would like to lock certain sections/outfits until later on in my story. How can I do that?

Much appreciated!

[Farah_DeSantis]

can I see what template you use?

in general you can lock any choice like this:

label menu
choice
< LOCKED > “Option1”{
NARR
Sorry this choice is locked
goto menu
} “Option2”{
}

It’s the label template by Dara Amarie.
I haven’t put any of my outfits in there yet. Thanks for your help.

then for this if you want the choice to be visible as locked you can use what I have above - just keep the gotos and labels as Dara has them to not mix it up. You will simply add the locked code and replace the code for changing clothes to the NARR saying it’s locked

just delete the space between the word LOCKED and < >. …when I delete it as it should be forum hides the word.
