You’re very welcome!

Which zoom out did you mean? Zoom out to show the whole background, or zoom out of a spot that you had zoomed into?

To zoom out to show the whole background, the zoom percentage needs to be less than 100%
@zoom on x y to 50% in 3

To zoom out of a spot you had already zoomed in on, just change the percentage back to 100%. So if you zoomed on 180 224 to 390%, do this:
@zoom on 180 224 to 100% in 4
Keep the same x and y numbers.

Check out this guide to using and animation overlays

You need to type in the word “overlay” before the overlay name for those commands:
@overlay SALE scales to …
@overlay SALE shifts to …
Or you can just add the scale and shift coordinates to the background name

Yusur · April 9, 2018, 10:52am

Thanks so much, i had no idea how to do it!!!

You can’t skip a whole line between an ending bracket and the next choice option.

It needs to look like either of these:

} "Hate it" {

or

}
"Hate it" {

Hi! Does anyone have a lipstick, hair & eyebrow template?

Dara.Amarie · April 10, 2018, 4:38am

INK or limelight?

ambang1205 · April 10, 2018, 4:39am

Limelight

Dara.Amarie · April 10, 2018, 4:44am

Eyebrow color or shape, or both?

ambang1205 · April 10, 2018, 11:47am

Both

Hi you help me unexpectedly back in March and I don’t want to bug you but I was editing my previous stories and I made a mistake and deleted the dressing game choices and now I’m trying to put then back but I’m not sure if I’m doing them right because I keep getting an error here’s my script

Later on in the story

And here’s the error

Dara.Amarie · April 10, 2018, 4:38pm

The if/elif/else isn’t meant for choices. To make it easier for you, I have a template for a simple dressing game in the link in my profile.

Aqaurius-kiss · April 10, 2018, 4:43pm

Ok and thank you

Aqaurius-kiss · April 10, 2018, 5:42pm

I followed the guide but if I choose outfit 7, try on another outfit before buying it and try and get it to remember that I had on outfit 7 it puts me in outfit 5

So you chose outfit 7 and gained that outfit, but then also had to the choice to try on outfit 5 and aslo gained 5?

Aqaurius-kiss · April 10, 2018, 6:52pm

No HEAVENLY wakes up, showers and gains outfit 7. Her day is going bad so she ends up going out, getting drunk, and passing out. The next day when she wakes up she finds herself in pajamas. She’s told that outfit 7 has been washed. When she goes to change back into outfit 7 she actually ends up putting on outfit 3. All of the other outfits are working fine but outfit 7 is doing the opposite.
