label 1_1_dressinggame

    SHANNY (think)
What do I want to wear tonight?

choice (OUTFIT)

“Shanny_blueberry”

@SHANNY exits right
@SHANNY changes into (SHANNY_BLUEBERRY)
@SHANNY enters from right to screen right

what am i doing wrong? can someone help me with choices?

choice (OUTFIT)
“Shanny_blueberry”{

@SHANNY exits right
@SHANNY changes into SHANNY_BLUEBERRY
@SHANNY enters from right to screen right

Remove () around the outfit name and add the bolded parts in : )

ITS STILL GIVING ME A BUNCH OF ERRORS. I WANNA SCREAM.

I don’t know what else to do. I’m following exactly how I see it on the tutorial on YouTube and its still WRONG.

Could you post the rest?

SHANNY (dance_hands_up_loop)
It’s Friday, which means it’s time to party!!

label choosing_outfit

    SHANNY (think)
What do I want to wear tonight?

choice
“SHANNY_BLUEBERRY”

@SHANNY exits right
@SHANNY changes into SHANNY_BLUEBERRY
@SHANNY enters from right to screen right

it won’t allow me to use {} these brackets at all anywhere!

and the SHANNY_BLUEBERRY is red instead of pink

unexpected sequence: you cannot use a director command starting with @ here

thats one of the error messages I got

This is how a choice is made:

choice (NAME)
“Option 1” {

NARR
Scene for option 1 here.

} “Option 2” {

NARR
Scene for option 2 here.

} “Option 3” {

NARR
Scene for option 3 here.

}

I’m not understanding.
I’m sorry.
Sooo, option 1 2 3 ect. are whatever i want them to be… right?
So I dont have to go through and name my clothes ?
Sorry if it doesnt make sense i’m really trying

Yes, option 1, 2, 3 can be any name you want it to be : )

I just used an example of simple three choices :smile:

Example:

choice (OUTFIT)
Blueberry Delight{
@SHANNY changes into SHANNY_BLUEBERRY

Thanks I think I understand a little better

Good to know :wink:

    SHANNY (think)
(Shall I wear this or try something else?)

choice
“Wear this outfit.”{

    SHANNY (head_bob)
(This is perfect!)

}
“Try something else.”{

goto dressing_game

}

@SHANNY exits left

it says expected character or scene change, found shanny_darkprincess" instead. did you forget to capatalize the name or close the () around animation

choice (OUTFIT)
“Blueberry Style”{

@SHANNY walks to upscreen left in zone 2
@SHANNY changes into SHANNY_BLUEBERRY

}“White Goddess Style”{

@SHANNY walks to upscreen left in zone 2
@SHANNY changes into SHANNY_WHITEGODDESS

}“Dark Princess Style”{
@SHANNY walks to upscreen left in zone 2
@SHANNY changes into SHANNY_DARKPRINCESS

}“Prom Queen Style”{
@SHANNY walks to upscreen left in zone 2
@SHANNY changes into SHANNY_PROMQUEEN

}

@SHANNY walks to screen center in zone 1

@pause for a beat

SHANNY (think)
(Shall I wear this or try something else?)

choice
“Wear this outfit.”{

SHANNY (head_bob)
(This is perfect!)

}“Try something else.”{

goto dressing_game

}

@SHANNY exits left

The error is only on line 220. Where it says “SHANNY_DARKPRINCESS”{

its saying theres an unexpected character or scene change…
thats what im confused about

I FINALLY GOT IT.

ITS BEEN RESOLVED.

Thanks @JemU776 for putting up with my annoying dumb self! lol

No problem :wink:

And hey, don’t call yourself that!

When we first start something, we aren’t good at it, but with practice we become better.

Trust me when I was first started I sucked so bad XD

Lmao!

Im sitting here like “maybe this isnt for me. I should stick to reading instead of writing” but im making a goal for myself to go out of my way and try something new.

and i’m sucking SO MUCH right now. I feel like … I don’t even know lol

You can do it : )

Don’t give up! You logged into that website and started writing-don’t back down now!

Just keep trying and soon your coding will improve, mark my word :heavy_heart_exclamation:

Good luck :vampire: :black_heart:
