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

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:

} elif (camila_demoted) {

}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.
Thank you!
HI!
So I’m adding a character that you name into my story that isn’t the MC so I know I don’t use YOU for the name so what do I use ?
Is it possible to use this character’s name that the reader made for the display name? (I think display is the right term…lol. Like the name above the speech bubble.
If someone can answer ASAP that would be AWESOME!
I know some writers choose a background and say
NARRATOR
This is your friend (you can choose any label beside friend. Enemy, devil, love interest, etc.)
Then you have to name the character any name and put
@CHARACTER enters from left to screen center
Or something like that
And put
NARRATOR
What would you like to call your best friend?
Then put the script template on how you ask a name.
Something like that. This is probably very confusing but I know that’s how some writers do it. Also, the goal is not to put the characters name before the player types the name that they wish.
I know you can zoom in slowly but is it possible to zoom out slowly?
Btw you’ve been a ginourmous help for the story I’m currently writing, you’re amazing!
Sorry for being such a bug, but how do you put an overlay in a specific spot and a zone other than the default zone?
Something I tried to do for example:
EXT. DAD’S HOUSE - DAY with SALE (I uploaded my own overlay)
@SALE scales to numbers
@SALE shifts to numbers
But it always either is not on screen or it stays in it’s default position
You can change the question to something like “What should be this character’s name?” or whatever you want the question/statement to say.
