Couple matching outfits HELP WANTED

[Alys_Key]

Hi! How do I get it so if a character chooses to wear one outfit, the other character will wear an outfit that will go with the one they have chosen? I hope I’ve explained it right what I want to achieve haha
Like if Character 1 wears the purple dress, than character 2 ill wear a suit to match that dress
Thanks in advance, and as always, will credit all who have helped at the end of my story

Hi there, if you use gains that can really help your story. Like if you’re doing the dressing game, and one character chooses one thing like here:

label dressup
CHELSEA
What should I wear to prom?
choice
“Blue Dress” {

@CHELSEA changes into CHELSEA_blue_dress
goto good

} “Red Dress” {

@CHELSEA changes into CHELSEA_red_dress
goto good

} “Purple Dress” {

@CHELSEA changes into CHELSEA_purple_dress
goto good

}

label good
NARR
Are you happy with this choice?
choice
“Yes I look fab” {

goto dress

} “No let me check again” {

goto dressup

}

label dress
if (CHELSEA_blue_dress) {

gain HARRY_blue_tux
goto continue

} elif (CHELSEA_red_dress) {

gain HARRY_red_tux
goto continue

} else {

gain HARRY_purple_tux
goto continue

}
label continue
Place the rest of your code here
If there is a simpler way to do this, then sorry, but this is the way I usually do it

[Alys_Key]

I manage to get this far, now how do I do the if this options?
I am a tad confused sorry

Read this guide: DARA’S GUIDE: Remember Choices with if/elif/else

Use the choice name and option method.

@Dara.Amarie

1. Choice Name & Option Method

Name your choice by adding the name next to the word choice and put it inside parentheses. Choice names cannot have spaces: they can only be consisted of letters, numbers, and/or underscores.

Here is an example:

NARRATOR
What do you want to eat?

choice (FOOD)
“Spaghetti” {

} “Donuts” {

} “Sandwich” {
}

TO REMEMBER THE ABOVE CHOICE, USE THE IF/ELIF/ELSE CODE WITH THIS FORMAT: (choice_name is "Option Name")

if (FOOD is “Spaghetti”) {
[scene for spaghetti choice here]

} elif (FOOD is “Donuts”) {
[scene for donuts choice here]

} else {
[scene for sandwhich choice here]
}

[Alys_Key]

Sorry still confused how to write it in my script, I get confused easily I’m afraid
If you look at the pic I attached, what do I need to do next? I’ve looked at @BerryGoodGem554 and the guide you’ve attached @Dara.Amarie but it’s not easy for me
Could one of you show me how to do it in a screen shot like mine (as I am visually impaired, the screen shot is helpful with the colours/spacing etc ) The other character is Conner so if Katie is inKaite_cinema2 option then Conner will need to match with Conner_cinema2 outfit

label dressup

CHELSEA
What should I wear to prom?
choice
“Blue Dress” {

@CHELSEA changes into CHELSEA_blue_dress
goto good

} “Red Dress” {

@CHELSEA changes into CHELSEA_red_dress
goto good

} “Purple Dress” {

@CHELSEA changes into CHELSEA_purple_dress
goto good

}

label good
    NARR
Are you happy with this choice?

choice
“Yes I look fab” {

goto dress

} “No let me check again” {

goto dressup

}

label dress

if (CHELSEA_blue_dress) {

gain CONNER_blue_tux
goto continue

} elif (CHELSEA_red_dress) {

gain CONNER_red_tux
goto continue

} else {

gain CONNER_purple_tux
goto continue

}
label continue

I guess you could copy and paste this in, I’ve made the things you can change (outfit names) so you can easily see them

[BerryGoodGem554]

Here’s an example

[Alys_Key]

I’m still having problems, think I’ll just have to think of another way around it
Thanks for your time though

[BerryGoodGem554]

Of course!

[Alys_Key]

As you can see, I’m still struggling big time
But I appreciate the help you’ve given, I’ll just have to think of another way around it

[BerryGoodGem554]

But if you’re having problems you can go to someone more experienced like @Dara.Amarie or someone else from episode

[BerryGoodGem554]

You actually forgot to end the brace { on line 1196

[Dara.Amarie]

@BerryGoodGem554
Your if/elif/else is not correct. The outfit name does not go inside the parentheses.

@Alys_Key you need to give your choice a name, something like this:

choice (dressup4)
“Jeans and Top” {

} “Dress” {

}

Then to remember that:

if (dressup4 is “Jeans and Top”) {
@CHARACTER changes into (outfit that matches katie_cinema)

} else {
@CHARACTER changes into (outfit that matches katie_cinema2)
}

[BerryGoodGem554]

Oooh, okay, sorry.

[Alys_Key]

Nope, still not working
Getting frustrated now, how am I going wrong

[Dara.Amarie]

else needs to be by itself.

@Dara.Amarie

if (dressup4 is “Jeans and Top”) {
@CHARACTER changes into (outfit that matches katie_cinema)

} else {
@CHARACTER changes into (outfit that matches katie_cinema2)
}

Also, you misspelled “Jeans” on line 1202

[Dara.Amarie]

Also, looking at your script, it looks like you want the male character to change into the matching outfit immediately. If that’s the case, you don’t need to do the if/else. Just have the male character change at the same time as your female character changes. Just place the male character offscreen to a different zone so that he won’t pop up in the middle of the scene.

label dressing_game4
@CONNOR stands screen right in zone 4

KATIE
(Now what shall I wear to the cinema?)

choice
“Jeans and Top” {
@KATIE changes into KATIE_cinema
@CONNOR changes into CONNOR_cinema

} “Dress” {
@KATIE changes into KATIE_cinema2
@CONNOR changes into CONNOR_cinema2
}

[Alys_Key]

Think I’ve finally got it, thank you
I don’t need to do so yet but can I pick your brains about another question?
How do you do choices that are remembered (like +1 point if they clicked one of the choice answers)
