One more thing… how can I only have the reader change the hair style and color? Whenever I paste the code in, it says that the different hair styles do not exist.

Are you using template?

Hey. Dara, I need some help with remembering outfit.
I know there are lots of tutorials and exmples, but no one is not working for me.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. :sob::sob::sob:

choice (dress1)
"Pants" {
@zoom reset
@YOU is dustoff_loop
@YOU changes into 1
@pause for a beat
gain pants
} "Skirt" {
@zoom reset
@YOU is dustoff_loop
@YOU changes into 2
@pause for a beat
gain skirt
}

if ("skirt") {
@YOU is dustoff_loop
@YOU changes into 2
} else {
@YOU is dustoff_loop
@YOU changes into 1
}

Remove the quotes. It should just be the gain name and nothing else for the if/elif.

If it correct now???

label dress
YOU (talk_think)
I have to ready for work.
choice (dress1)
“Pants” {
@zoom reset
@YOU is dustoff_loop
@YOU changes into work2
@pause for a beat
gain pants
} “Dress” {
@zoom reset
@YOU is dustoff_loop
@YOU changes into work1
@pause for a beat
gain dress
}
YOU (talk_happy_smile)
No matter what I’m wearing, I will always look good.
choice “Wear this.” {
continue
} “No, I want to change.” {
goto dress
}

if (dress) {
@YOU is dustoff_loop
@YOU changes into work1
} else {
@YOU is dustoff_loop
@YOU changes into work2
}

Actually, the way you set up your dressing game, your readers will gain all those gains if they try on all the outfits. So remove the gains and use the choice name method instead: HOW TO: Remember Past Choices (if/elif/else)

The problem is - choice name method isn’t working for me as well. MC never changed her outfit and the script is not plaing

How did you write the if/elif for the choice name method?

@YOU exits left

if (dress1 is “pants”)
@YOU changes into 1
} else {
@YOU changes into 2
}

You have the letter “P” capitalized in “Pants” for the choice so you also need to capitalize the “P” for the if/elif.

Whatever you typed inside the quotation marks for the option title needs to be exactly what you use for the if/elif

Hi again lol. I’m having an issue with spot directing. I’m trying to place my character in an overlay car and followed the directions of Joseph Evans’ video but its still telling me that its an invalid directing command.
Here’s my coding:
@YOU spot 1.280 195-134 AND YOU faces right AND YOU starts idle

You need a space between 195 and -134
