Remove the @ in front of your character’s name. You don’t need the @ or any other symbols for when a character is talking.

Not quite, as it’s highly unlikely you’d readily find an energy drink in survival situations.

Correct answer! Excellent cadet, proceed to next question!

This is an excerpt from a mini game quiz in my story and I keep getting the missing } error but to me the script does have the matching closed } for the opening one, or am I perhaps mistaken? Please help! :persevere::woozy_face:

“readerMessage” is misspelled.

thank you

I’m pretty bad at this but how do you walk in for a character?
for episode

What do you mean by walk in? Are you talking about having a character enter the scene?

This might be a ridiculous question but I want to know. Can you add colors to the brow choices in INK? or Will it still show up black?

No, you can’t change the color of the brows for INK. You can type in the code and no errors will show up but the brow color will always stay black.

For some reason when I choose outfit 3, it changes to the second or first outfit. I’m confused.

Example of one of my scripts where it has happened:

label choosing_outfit

    LAUREN (think)
(What should I wear today?)

choice
“Basic.” {

@LAUREN is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@LAUREN changes into Lauren episode 9 basic

@pause for a beat

&LAUREN is shiftweight

@zoom on 478 0 to 285% in 0.5

@pause for a beat

@zoom on 476 399 to 285% in 4

    LAUREN
(Is this what I wanna wear?)

choice
“Hell yes.” {

gain chose_basic

} “Hell no.” {

goto choosing_outfit
}
} “Casual.” {

@LAUREN is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@LAUREN changes into Lauren episode 9 casual

@pause for a beat

&LAUREN is shiftweight

@zoom on 478 0 to 285% in 0.5

@pause for a beat

@zoom on 476 399 to 285% in 4

    LAUREN
(Is this what I wanna wear?)

choice
“Hell yes.” {

gain chose_casual

} “Hell no.” {

goto choosing_outfit
}
} “Cool.” {

@LAUREN is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@LAUREN changes into Lauren episode 9 cool

@pause for a beat

&LAUREN is shiftweight

@zoom on 478 0 to 285% in 0.5

@pause for a beat

@zoom on 476 399 to 285% in 4

    LAUREN
(Is this what I wanna wear?)

choice
“Hell yes.” {

gain chose_cool

} “Hell no.” {

goto choosing_outfit
}
}

And the if/elif/else command:

if (chose_basic) {

@LAUREN changes into Lauren episode 9 basic

} elif (chose_casual) {

@LAUREN changes into Lauren episode 9 casual

} else {

@LAUREN changes into Lauren episode 9 cool

}

Is there an updated version of this?

When you test out gains, make sure to refresh the page (web previewer) or reset story progress (app). Otherwise if you tap on all choices, you will gain all those flags. You can also toggle between flags by tapping on “Story Modifiers” then “Flags”.

What am I doing wrong?

Remove the word “stand”. It’s just CHARACTER spot % x y

its wrong for some reason?

You have 2 “faces” here. Remove the other one, and you need to add “and CHARACTER”

You only need to add the word “choice” just once and only right before the first option. So remove the second “choice” word

hi I was wondering if it was possible to have more than one overlay in a scene at one time
If so could I please have the script template
