I know itā€™s long. But when TRAVIS and MARY come in. You see them, but then they disappear. How do I fix this??

669

Also, how do I make it a narrrator speech bubble with my characterā€™s name?

670

Have you tried refreshing the page (if youā€™re using the web previewer) or restarting the app (if youā€™re using the app)? I just tested this out and both characters appear and stay.

671

oh. I just refreshed it and it worked. :slight_smile: thanks!!!

672

Also, when a word is in bold, but the rest of the sentence isnā€™t, how do I remove the bold?

673

Like text effects in dialogue?

674

yeah. But I figured it out.

675

How do you make special choices where a choice is gold and another isnā€™t?

676

Add < PREMIUM > (no spaces) right before the choice option.

choice
<PREMIUM> "This choice is gold" {

} <GREEN> "This choice is a darker color" {

} <LOCKED> "This choice has a padlock on it" {

}
677

thank you!

This has an error but iā€™m not sure why? It worked on my other female characters, this is a male one. It says no hair exists for this character

@BRAD changes hair into Modern Pompadour AND BRAD changes hairColor into Black

678

You canā€™t put more than one ā€œchanges intoā€ command on the same line. They need to be on separate lines.

679

Oh ok thank you sooo much!

680

So, I wanted to add a ā€œselfieā€ to the photoframe overlay but idk how to add the ā€œselfieā€

682

Well, thereā€™s an over lay where you can put a pic that your character took into a poloroid picture.

683

Just add the overlay to the background name

BACKGROUND NAME with PHOTO FRAME in zone #

684

Oh. Thank you! :hugs:

Are you trying to do a simple dressing game? If you are, the format is kind of weird. This template should help you out:

688

Just like the warning message says, you cannot have labels inside brackets. If itā€™s part of a choice, you need to put the dressing game outside of the choice.
