It’s not possible to change a character’s opacity.

How to "FADE" Characters

[Bridi]

thanks

[Bridi]

hey sorry to be a pain but how do you make the screen shake?

[Dara.Amarie]

You can shake the screen by zooming in at random spots in the span of 0.1 seconds each

@zoom on ____ in 0.1
@zoom on ____ in 0.1
@zoom on ____ in 0.1
@zoom on ____ in 0.1
@zoom on ____ in 0.1

Or you can have the zooms on the same line using THEN if you want to shake the screen while another command is happening:

&zoom on ____ in 0.1 THEN zoom on ____ in 0.1 THEN zoom on ____ in 0.1 THEN zoom on ____ in 0.1

Hey Dara, I had a random question. Is there benefits to naming a choice?

[Dara.Amarie]

You can reference that choice in dialogue.

HOW TO: Remember Past Choices (if/elif/else)

You can use the choice name to reference what the reader chose in dialogue; just wrap straight brackets around the choice name.

CHARACTER
Today I had [FOOD] for lunch.

If the reader chose “Spaghetti”, then they will see:

CHARACTER
Today I had Spaghetti for lunch.

(but be warned that whatever option title is will be what the reader will see)
If the option title was “I want to eat Spaghetti!!”, then readers will see this:

CHARACTER
Today I had I want to eat Spaghetti!! for lunch.

Ok I’m having remember choices problem

So here is what I have first

That’s what I have for other remember choices

And it ends up not showing but the other remember choices do show up except for one which is chose_Secert

So what am I doing wrong??

[Dara.Amarie]

The gain needs to go before goto

[LitLegacy]

Did that Didn’t work is the elif maybe??

[Dara.Amarie]

The last elif needs to be else by itself. But you need to move the gain on line 1166 to line 1163, because you won’t be able to gain that flag since the goto is before which it skips the gain.

[LitLegacy]

How do I do the else rather than elif??

[LitLegacy]

Is like this

} Else (chose_sexy){

@JADE changes into dress

}

[Dara.Amarie]

} else {

Thank you

There’s been this promblem with the text effects whenever i use it the text stays the same color im not sure if its only on the web previewer but i should also say there isn’t any error whenever i put in the code

[Dara.Amarie]

The web previewer is being weird with text effects recently. Test your story using the app for text effects.

[rogueallmighty]

Ok i let you know if it works or not

[Bridi]

thx

[LitLegacy]

But do I still add the chose_sexy or where do I put that

[Dara.Amarie]

No, you just need } else {

HOW TO: Remember Past Choices (if/elif/else)

if is always first, elif is always in the middle, and else should always be the last one by itself

HOW TO: Remember Past Choices (if/elif/else)

if you have more than 3 options, keep using elif for the middle parts, but always make sure that if is first and else is last
if (label1) {
} elif (label2) {
} elif (label3) {
} elif (label4) {
} else {
}
