let level = 0;
let usersName;
let path;
const getBotReply = (msg) => {
if (level === 0) {
level = 1;
usersName = msg;
return "Chur " + usersName + ". Do you live in Raglan?";
}
if (level === 1) {
level = 2;
if (msg === "yes") {
path = "left-yes";
return "Do you know how to surf?";
}
if (msg === "no") {
path = "right-no";
return "Are you from Auckland?";
}
}
Basically I want it so that instead of typing yes or no. The user will type reset and it will return to "level 0"
I've tried:
if (msg === "reset") {
level = 0;
}
in this case, I believe it would be preferable to include a while loop.
while(msg === "reset"){level = 0};
If you put your if-check for reset at the top then you have done it correctly, and you simply forgot a return in the solution you suggested?
If you don't include a return stament in the if-check the function will just continue, so it will run the next if check, which matches the level being 0 and it will assume that "reset" is the name of the user.
So if you include
if(msg === "reset"{
level = 0
return
}
It should work just fine, you can leave the return blank or include a message. I included a JS fiddle which is literally your code with the fixed if check: https://jsfiddle.net/5tu7c20n/
