Choices Help (LIMELIGHT)

[LISAANNEMARIEE]

I want my readers to have the choice on if they want to meet my characters family or not before starting the story
how do i do it?

[Minimayday]

Are you asking how to do a choice or asking how you put it before the story begins?

[LISAANNEMARIEE]

Asking how to do that certain choice and how I can actually introduce them using the choice and the option to skip it

[jessica.epi]

You would make a label, and put it where the reader would go after they skip it.

EX:
Dialogue

label skip

---

After they press the choice to skip, put goto skip, since the label I up above is named “skip”… but change it to what you want the label to be called. There’s another way to do it too though

[jessica.epi]

I hope that didn’t sound too confusing, I would include a choice in the example to make it easier, but I’m on my phone

[afnain_creates]

Here’s how you would write that:

NARRATOR
Before we begin, do you want to meet your family members?

choice
“Yes! I want to meet them”{

@familymember1 enters from left to screen center

NARRATOR
This is familymember1.

@familymember2 enters from left to screen center

NARRATOR
This is familymember2.

}
“No, I don’t want to meet them”{

}

NARRATOR
Let’s proceed with the story.

(The reason I wrote nothing in the choice of “No, I don’t wanna meet them” is because the character doesn’t meet their family members and so nothing happens in that choice.
You could add something there if you want to.
Replace the “@familymember1/2” with the corresponding names of that certain member.)

Hope it helped

looks simple enough im not good with choices but i want this story to have choices that matter

also how do i give the readers a choice to cc the characters?

[afnain_creates]

NARRATOR
Do you wish to customise your character?

choice
“Yes!”{

(insert cc template here)

}
“No, she looks perfect!” {

}

(The cc template thing is actually one of the templates provided in the script)

Open the Script Template dropdown.
Then, click on Avatar - Limelight Female 6.

This will show up.
Then, Click on the LIGHTFEMALEAVATAR dropdown, then select the character you want your reader to customise.
Then click add.

Thats it!
Hope it worked

@LISAANNEMARIEE
its actually beter to use dra.amarie templates - the one in app are not often updated and do not have all availivble things like hairstyles while dara updates all her templates after every episode update.
