Hi!
Can somebody help me?
My MC has to make a choice but I don’t understand how to code choices properly.

This is what I have done so far, but there is an error. What should I do? :smile:

May I recommend searching for a branching tutorial on YouTube?

Write it like this :
choice
"Let’s Party! " {
#whatever you have written
}

Basically what is wrong in ur code is the lack of the keyword" choice "

4

I did that with the first choice option. :smiley:

I’m just not sure how to have a scene follow on from that choice?

5

Have you made the label I_cant?

6

I have but I’m not sure if it’s in the right place. :smiley:

there are lots of good tutorials on how to learn the basics of episode coding and especially choices- I think you’ll have a much easier time when coding if you get the proper background knowledge <3
here are some resources for your issue:

and you can always just search your issue up and a forums post might pop up and have the info you need!

Here’s how I did mine, but yours looks correct to me after fixing it.
The gain part carries over to the next episode in my coding if you’re confused

There is dialogue under the label I just didn’t screenshot it. And then the other choice follows.

There is an error next to the second choice. Have I done it wrong? :smiley:

10

Move the bracket that’s under the choice “Let’s party”
{
To look like “Let’s party”{ so it starts at the beginning of the line

11

It says there is still an error.

Try moving the choice over so it starts like how you have it for the music
Like how my choice looks like

Can you pm me your script? So I can see where the error is

15

Yeah of course. :smiley:

Ok I understand what you have done wrong. Don’t put labels between two choices. Do it like this:

choice
“I can’t” {
#whatever comes here

goto I_cant
} “Let’s Party!” {
#whatever comes here

goto Lets_party
}

label I_cant
######whatever comes in this branch/label

label Lets_party
#######whatever comes in this branch/label
