What does this mean:
@CHARACTER stands POSITION + Xpx
?
Are you getting an error/warning message that says that?
You need to have dialogue right before the choice
Idk if this has been asked yet but how do you move a character with an overlay. eg. a person in a car.
okay so i was wondering if you can help me with this:
I want to make a twin character of the main character but i made the readers choose how the main character look so how do i make the twin look like what the characters chose for the main one without having them to costumize both characters? Does this make sense? Help me please…
Templates have labels and you cannot have labels inside choices/brackets. So if you put the template inside of a choice, you will get all those warning messages. You need to put the template out side of the choice and put a goto inside the choice.

Thank you!
I’m trying get a character upside down, in Ink, and that’s the Episode given donacode… But I’ve no idea what it means.
Also, if I do try it, it gives warnings.
Can someone help me with this? Everytime I go to preview it with the different choices, it keeps going to the “else” command instead of the if, elif commands (if that makes sense) is there something wrong with this>
if (choice is “Have her beheaded”) {

Did you name your choice “choice”? Like this?
choice (choice)
“Have her beheaded” {
} “Have her demoted” {
All you need to do is make the scale size a negative
@CHARACTER spot -1.280 100 0
I did it like this
choice
“Have her beheaded”{

You need to name your choice if you’re using the choice name and choice option method for the if/elif/else statement. But you’re also using gains, so just use the gain method for the if/elif/else:

}Thank You so much!!!
Whenever I try that, I can’t see my character on screen.
That’s because when you make them upside down, their placement completely changes. So zoom all the way out to find them, then re-spot them into the scene.
Could you give me a few tips on replacement? Thanks.
You just move them to the spot you want and put those coordinates into your script. It’s just regular spot placement.
