I think you need to put the } on line 4413 onto the same line as “Formal” { so that the bracket from line 4403 and the first bracket on line 4414 match up maybe?

Can you see if this works and text back?

You could write @CHAR stands screen right (replace CHAR with the characters name) so that they are stood on the left to begin with, or you could preview the story on computer, press directing helper, then spot helper, and drag the character to wherever you want them to stand.

Can you copy and paste the script instead of taking screenshots so I can try to fix them myself and then tell you whats wrong?

Yes, underscores ( _ ) should be used in place of spaces in the gains

ok thanks but how do I just put them there without having them walk on screen

82

If you type @ CHAR stands screen right or @ CHAR stands screen left they will not walk onto the screen

83

Thankyou so much!!

I’d also like to know how to have my character do the dust down animation whilst she changes clothes so it looks a bit more natural

Hi I need help with an error message I’m getting. the error basically says "you have a { on line 143 that doesn’t have a matching } " this is for a choice that I made but my problem is that it does have a matching } . I also tried deleting the context inside the choice and when I saved that worked but when I put it BACK in it had the same error. I would really appreciate any help I can get. Thank you!

Is it normal for a writer first plan to go wrong? or is it just me?
