  1. You’d have to use points for the skin options in the template, then use those points in the if/elif/else to determine what skin tone overlay to use. When you use points in the template, you’d have to also reset the points each time.

choice
“Color 1” {
@CHARACTER changes bodyColor into Color1
@CHARACTER =0
@CHARACTER +1
goto label

} “Color 2” {
@CHARACTER changes bodyColor into Color2
@CHARACTER =0
@CHARACTER +2
goto label

} “Color 3” {
@CHARACTER changes bodyColor into Color3
@CHARACTER =0
@CHARACTER +2
goto label

and so on…

  1. You’d have to place your character in that zone before the pan, using the & sign.

&CHARACTER [spot] and CHARACTER faces left/right
@pan to zone #

Do you know the animation that makes the male character sit? I’m having a really dumb moment and can’t find it.

1419

Any of the animations that have “sit” in them.

1420

Yes I know that but I mean the character just sits idle. No talking or anything. I’ve used sit and idle_sit but when I preview the scene in my app he is just standing up idle?

1421

Nevermind I fixed the issue; thank you :slight_smile:

Dear @Dara.Amarie,
There is the new kind of speech bubble type, same color, pink,blue,purple but with the wordings highlighted in that color. How do I get that? Like last time I have to type in Mean Girls to get the pink but how about the new one?

1423

Could you please make a template for people crowding around a bottle and a few characters playing spin the bottle please? That would help ALOT with my story! THANKS @Dara.Amarie !

1424

The new ones aren’t fully released yet. They’re still being tested: COMING SOON: Speech Bubble Style Update & Larger Episode Scripts!

any help would be appreciated because i don’t know what I’m doing wrong:/

1429

oh my i didn’t mean to do that lol. the zooms have the @ symbol not the & symbol my bad:/

1430

If you want command(s) to happen while there is dialogue, they always need to be before the dialogue. And to have multiple zooms have right after each other like that, they would all need to be on the same line using the THEN command

&zoom on 278 266 to 180% 0.1 THEN zoom on 159 375 to 155% 0.1 THEN and so on…

I’m not sure what you mean? Can you explain your problem a bit more please?

Hi! Sorry, I’m trying to use your character customization template (credited, of course), and for some reason I cannot figure out why my MC won’t show up? So far, all I have is, “@YOU spot 2.400 170 -520 and YOU faces right and YOU starts idle” but when I press preview, it simply goes straight to the customization part and throughout the customization process, the MC simply refuses to appear and so you can’t see who you’re customizing. Help xd?
