@Dara.Amarie

I originally posted about something else, but I since figured it out. However, I need help with this now:

Basically I have a button overlay and then an overlay of the button pressed down. My button overlay is working however, when I go to change it to the down pressed button the new overlay doesn’t show?

label father_hit_button_1
@pan to zone 1
&zoom on 320 314 to 192% in 2
NARRATOR
What do you want to do?
choice “Press This Button”{

    PRESIDENT GREEN (think_rubchin)
(Here we go...)

&PRESIDENT GREEN is pickup_paper_neutral
@pause for a beat
@overlay REDBUTTONNOTPRESSED clear
@overlay REDBUTTONPRESSED create
@overlay REDBUTTONPRESSED shifts to 273 274 in zone 1
@overlay REDBUTTONPRESSED scales to 0.356 0.356
@overlay REDBUTTONPRESSED moves to layer -2
sound alarm_loud
PRESIDENT GREEN (talk_confused_mindblown)
Sorry love, that’s the security alarm!

}
PRESIDENT GREEN (talk_afraid)
Let’s try another button shall we?

choice “Retry Another Button.” {
sound off
PRESIDENT GREEN (talk_shrug_concerned)
Let’s turn that one off.

goto father_hit_the_button

}

I didn’t want to make a post about this but do you know how to make one sound more quiet than the others?

Do you have a script template on letting the reader choose the LI’s gender?

OMG I’m an idiot, it was in the OP :tired_face:

Actually this is a dumber question but in the template, how do we script a confirmation of the gender the reader selects (in case people misclick). Or if you have the script?

I’m somehow still hazy on doing “yes” or “nos” because each time I tried, errors such as “there needs to be a matching line blah blah” and all.

how do you do music off twice without them interfering

Here’s my script

So when the player is customizing the character how do i get them to choose a different color for the hair

So what would I put? I created him in the characters section and then added him to the story (from what you can see in the screenshots that’s all I’ve done with him).

hey Dara! I need help with overlays…
So, I wrote:

**INT. ENCHANTED UNDERWATER CAVE with MAGICBALL to 50 209 268 in zone 2 **

&MIA spot 0.861 209 268 in zone 2 AND MIA is sing_ballad_subtle_serious_loop
&pan to zone 2
readerMessage Overlay created by clarkie.eps
&overlay MAGICBALL rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 1

and the script is saying that i have an error, “Invalid slots”
What does this mean? Have I done something wrong?

thank you in advance,
Marta

So, I’m having a problem with line 459 til 462. The character is supposed to go down with the zoom but it’s not it’s just going to another zone and when I type this code with the animation it always turns idle after a few seconds, please help!

You need to add the overlay’s opacity.

There isn’t a way. The volume command is used for all sound or all music, so you can’t set the volume for one sound and then another volume for a different sound. What you can do is use both sound and music and set the volume for both and just turn off the music when the sound is done so the sound doesn’t loop.

Pause for 0 seconds between them.

Use a customization template with hair color

welp I guess in that case the murmur from the phone will be loud as shit lol , thanks for your answer by the way

Line 459 needs to use the & sign while line 460 needs to use the @ sign

If I haven’t replied back to you yet, I am not ignoring your or skipping over you. I will get back to you maybe tomorrow. I will be out of town this weekend and I will only be on my phone. I can still answer the non complicated problems, but for others I need a laptop to figure out your issues.

Thanks for your patience :kissing_heart:

I put sound in my code but when I test it out on my phone there isn’t any sound.

It still doesn’t work. :disappointed_relieved:

How can you make a character drink wine/beer?
