So it goes like this. (I know it’s gonna be like an extra space or something… )
I’m working choices within choices and it’s kinda down the line like this…(working one path at a time.) The choices will give you different scenes as well as affect your story down the line. So I have the error screenshot followed by the code. I wasn’t having this problem until I started writing the scene for 1B.
CHOICE - 1,2,3
1 - Scene CHOICE A,B
- A - Scene (take to end of chapter.)
- B - Scene (take to end of chapter.)
2
3
Maybe I’ll do that. Save them to another doc and start from scratch, Line by line. Ah well. Such is coding. But if you or anyone else sees anything else, please let me know. ((Doesn’t help that I’m running on no sleep…))
How many choices are in the same choice menu? (If that makes sense?)
Because it’s hard to know if some of your choices are supposed to be in one part or separate.
For example, I’ve noticed that your first choice “Are you serious” is on it’s own, as you’ve used the word choice again for your next one which is “Turn Back” whereas if they were supposed to be choices together where the reader picks, you would write the word choice again, it would be like this… (and you would follow this theme)
Choice “Are you serious”{
scene here
} “Turn Back” {
scene here
}
So on so on.
(If they’re separate your missing a choice block end on line 6517 to close the bracket before your second choice)
Choice 1 has 3
within the first choice of that choice is another that has 2…
TEXT
choice
“are you serious”
(apparently) -choice
(it wont) “Turn back”
(indent) “chance a run” “Oh crud” “Not happenin dude.”
The italicized ones represent paths not written yet.
Well thus far I’ve cut everything away and only have “are you serious” as a choice currently. I figured if I take it bit by bit there, I might figure it out.
Speaking of such things, is that how proofreaders and such work?
So from what I can see, it’s because you have text outside the branches on the following lines: 6618,6619,6665,6666,6683,6684
So for example you have your branch closed like this…
}
CHARACTER
dialogue
“choice” { scene
}
So what’s happened here is you’ve put dialogue in between choices, you need to either put these inside the bracket or remove them because they’re interrupting the coded choices. It should only be formatted like this for example…
previous choice
CHARACTER
dialogue (BEFORE CLOSING THE BRACKET)
}
“choice” { scene
}
If that makes sense. If you have the word choice, you can have dialogue above it, but if its within the same menu, you need to make sure there’s no dialogue after the closing bracket and before the next choice bracket.
