Advice for a newbie

And thank you! X

DO NOT tap on the 3 dots at the bottom of the screen and use the “Replay” feature. To play your own story, you go to the Create section in the app and your stories should appear under “Playable Stories”.

Yeah that’s where I’ve been getting them from but when I try to start it again from chapter 1, that’s the message I get x

Don’t click on those 3 dots, though, leave those alone. You should be using the buttons on the screen at the top right. Tap on “Update Script” to start the episode over. Tap on “Navigation” then “Episodes” to go to a different episode/chapter. Tap on “Navigation” then “Reset Story Progress” to reset story progress.

Thank you! I’ve just figured that out! :joy: x

If you have your character spotted in a different place than (screen center/right/left) then you might not wanna use (exits right/left) method cause it’s gonna look odd.
just write
@CHARACTER walks to spot xxx xxx xx (somewhere off the screen)
That way they’re exiting from the same spot you put them.
If you use this method you’ll need to put a timing
@CHARACTER walks to spot xxx xxx xx in 1 (or whatever number of seconds you want.)

Okay, new question (sorry)!

I’ve reset my story to see whether the choices gains work and now my character is wearing default during a new scene :neutral_face:

Have I done something wrong?

Like I said it won’t work on the Web Preview. The character will be wearing default character in the next episode. Test it on the app.

I did test it on the app :confused: x

Can you post your if/else code for remembering this choice?

I haven’t used those codes :confused:

What do I need to do?

Here is my script…

label dressing_game_1

    HARPER (think)
(What do I want to wear?)

choice
“Girly” {
@HARPER changes into Pink Pink Pink
#insert script here
HARPER (admire)
(I love this, it’s so girly!)

    HARPER (talk_excited)
Is this the one?

choice
“It’s perfect!” {
gain Pink_Pink_Pink
#insert script here
HARPER (talk_primp_condescend)
I look hot!

} “No, I want to try on the others!” {
goto dressing_game_1
}

OUTFIT 2 STARTS HERE

} “Stylish” {
@HARPER changes into Monochrome
#insert script here
HARPER (talk_excited)
(This is definitely me!)

    HARPER (admire)
Is this the one?

choice
“It’s perfect!” {
gain Monochrome
#insert script here
HARPER (talk_primp_condescend)
I look hot!

} “No, I want to try on the others!” {
goto dressing_game_1
}

OUTFIT 3 STARTS HERE

} “Sexy” {
@HARPER changes into Damn you a sexy bitchhh
#insert script here
HARPER (primp_condescend)
(This will definitely turn some heads!)
HARPER (talk_excited)
Is this the one?
choice
“It’s perfect!” {
gain Damn_you_a_sexy_bitchhh
#insert script here
HARPER (talk_primp_condescend)
I look hot!
} “No, I want to try on the others!” {
goto dressing_game_1
}
}

    HARPER (talk_excited)
And now for my hair and make-up!

label hair_lip

    NARRATOR
What do you want to change?

choice
“Hairstyle” {
goto hair_change
} “Lipstick” {
goto lip_change
} “This is perfect!” {
goto end_hairlip
}

label hair_change

    NARRATOR
Which hairstyle would you like?

choice
“Straight” {
@HARPER changes hair into Straight
goto hair_change
} “Diva Curls” {
@HARPER changes hair into Diva Curls
goto hair_change
} “Beach Wave” {
@HARPER changes hair into Beach Wave Hair
goto hair_change
} “Choose this!” {
goto hair_lip
}

label lip_change

    NARRATOR
Which lip color would you like?

choice
“Bordeaux” {
@HARPER changes mouthColor into Bordeaux
goto lip_change
} “Ruby Red” {
@HARPER changes mouthColor into Ruby Red
goto lip_change
} “Bubblegum Pink” {
@HARPER changes mouthColor into Bubblegum Pink
goto lip_change
} “Choose this!” {
goto hair_lip
}

label end_hairlip

    NARRATOR
Is this the look you're going for?

choice
“Yes!” {
#continue
} “No, let me change something” {
goto hair_lip
}

Thanks! x

I said to check out my link tree to read the guide for remembering choices and you said that you tried that, but you haven’t used the if/elif/else code?

None of it really makes any sense :frowning:

So sorry guys!

Would anybody be able to edit my script and add in what’s missing?

xx

Did you read through it carefully and thoroughly? You need to use an if/elif/else code to remember a choice. And since you’re already using gains, just put the gain names inside of the parentheses.

if (gain_name1) {
@CHARACTER changes into Outfit_1

} elif (gain_name2) {
@CHARACTER changes into Outfit_2

} else {
@CHARACTER changes into Outfit_3
}

I’m now getting this! :confused:

You’re not suppose to put the if/elif/else inside of the dressing game. You use the if/elif/else whenever you want your character to change back into that outfit. So if you have a flashback, then once the flashback is over and you want your character to go back to what the reader chose, use the if/elif/else once the flashback is over.

OMG, I’m so stupid sometimes!

Right, I’ve got the outfit to stay so far, but the hair and lipstick won’t stay… do I have to use gains for these too?

Also, when I go in to chapter two, the character needs to wear the same reader choice as chapter one, do I need to request for the reader to choose again or is there another way?

I hope that all this is worth it lol!

Hi all!

I’m just wondering if anybody knows how to make characters naked? In one of my scenes, my MC is ordered to strip and I can’t get it to work?

Also, how can I make sure that the characters remain on screen without them disappearing during a pan? I’ve tried putting the & in front instead but they still seem to disappear and then return lol?

Thanks in advance xx
