DARA’S GUIDE: Typed-in Choices

It’s all explained in the guide above. Read number 3 and then look at the examples.

Do you know how to code for when you make a season 2 of a former story but like create a new story to do it?

Okay, I have a question. The other day I was reading the story “College-ish” and I came across a choice where it let me select an image that went along with the the name. I was wondering what the coding was to do something like that.

Haven’t read the story but maybe it could be this: A Basic Guide to Tappable Overlays AND: A Guide to Creating Text from Overlays

Thank you so much!

Wait so does it look like this?

@pause for a beat
input What is your name? | What is your name? | Done (NAME)

              NARRATOR
      Wow! [NAME] is such a pretty name!

(is it necessary to put the @pause for a beat there?)

you don’t need to put pause for a beat there :slight_smile:

It isn’t working

are you checking this on the Web Preview? If so, type-in choices are not working there, you need to test it on your phone

Hi I was wondering if @Dara.Amarie or @Apes can help me with this code…
I have a scene where it involves reader input. They have to help someone fill in the blanks on a statement they are typing, So they have to type in the missing word. This is what I have so far, I know it is not right because when I preview it only the bit about answer is incorrect appears, so I would like some help to get the rest in.
NARRATOR
Can you help out Detective Jones with the missing words?

    NARRATOR (DETECTIVE JONES)
During my visit I noticed some strange behaviour from Miss Simpson, upon offering me a glass of ...
Hmm what did she offer me again?

label Guess_Missing_Word_1

input What is the Missing Word? | What is the Missing Word? | Guess(MISSING WORD)

if (MISSING WORD is “Water”) {

    NARRATOR
Correct! You've guessed the Missing Word.

} else {
NARRATOR
Answer is incorrect.
Please try again.

goto Guess_Missing_Word_1

}

@overlay MISSING WORD 1 create
@overlay 6088026729218048_MISSING WORD 1 shifts to 167 228
@overlay 6088026729218048_MISSING WORD 1 scales to 0.406 0.406
@overlay MISSING WORD 1 opacity 1 in 2
@overlay MISSING WORD 1 moves to layer 2
NARRATOR (DETECTIVE JONES)
Yes that’s right.

Don’t use spaces. Use underscores so change it to: MISSING_WORD

Thank you so much for this guide! But I still have a question: Does this work with elif and else too? Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Yes it does

Thank you so much!

Thats just what happens with the web previewer.

The name will be remembered for readers and if you test your story in the app.
