-
Treat it as a simple binary.
- If there is text in the A1Answer column, then the game should assume a choice is being displayed.
- If not, just jump to GoToID.
-
if there is A1Answer text, show choice.
-
If there is GoToID text, show continue button
-
If there is both, report an error with clear messaging "Unclear instructions for ID
- cannot have a continue and a choice option for one ID.
As a user or dev, I'd want to have the action column default to the non-choice option ("a") when nothing is entered, so it does not break the game.
As you can see, line 5 is missing the "a" in the
_type_column, and this causes the game to display that line incorrectly (it showed the text from line 4 instead).Defaulting to "a" would mean the error wouldn't happen, however, there's the potential that it will confuse people.
An even more advanced version of this fix would be to lose the column completely, and always assume the default action is to jump to the listed "ID" in "GoToID" unless there's something listed in the "A1Answer" column.
