Changing clothes/hair in between scenes?

[Weecey]

Hi there!
I’m very new to the forum world so bare with me lol.

I am creating my very first story and I find that I am stuck on how to change clothing and hair in between scenes.

I am aware of @CHARACTER changes into OUTFIT before the background is put in but what if I am wanting to change back to what the reader decided to pick as an outfit in the beginning?
(sorry if the way I am wording this is confusing)

I can’t put @CHARACTER changes into default bc it wouldn’t be what the reader chose initially.

With hair, I’m finding that if I input @CHARCTER changes hair into _________ , it keeps that hair for every single scene.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you♡

Can read over:

HOW TO: Use the previews and unpreviews directing command

The previews/unpreviews feature: This is a directing command in which you can get a character to change out of their original look into something else and then after a while, you can change them back to how they were before. It only works in one episode where you can unpreview/preview outfits and/or features. In the next episode, it automatically defaults to what they originally wore/have regardless of whether you previewed it and let it stay previewed for the entire previous episode. Perfect …

The previews command is good to know because you can make your character preview an outfit and then unpreview it later, changing back into what they wore originally. Good for cc features like hair too.

You allowed the reader to choose outfit by choice

So by letting the reader choose an outfit, I won’t be able to change the outfit in other scenes?

For example;

If I wanted to have a flashback scene and not have the character wearing the outfit she is currently wearing.

No problem

Another method you could use, especially if outfit change carries over into another episode: create a duplicate with the exact same display name (name shown to reader), have the duplicate become the MC using the becomes command (so exact look-a-likes with one line of code) and change outfits for the duplicate while leaving MC alone and having MC keep her appearance.

UNDERSTANDING: Script + Display Names

Script Name - the one that is written in the script (cannot be changed) Display Name - the one that is shown to the reader (you can see it on top of the character’s speechbubble) and it can be changed. It can also be left blank. Leaving the display name blank is good for mysterious characters. Display Names: As mentioned previously, you can leave display names blank and save. ex. Script Name: JEM Display Name: In the script, you can write: JEM I’m just a mysterious woman. You’d write th…
