You inspired us Dara :heart_eyes:

It looks like you have all of that inside of an else in which case you cannot have labels inside of brackets.

Youā€™d have to use a duplicate character of the customized character and change the duplicateā€™s hairstyle. Then when you want to go back to the original hairstyle, switch back to using the main character.

Sure what problem are you having?

Another thing :grin:
I saw in some stories that character push somebody. Whatā€™s the name of that behaviour?

Thank you! :heart:

How would I format/direcr a choice where itā€™s like " yes, stay" or " donā€™t stay"

CHARACTER
Stay or donā€™t stay?

choice
ā€œYes, stay!ā€ {

[script here for stay]

} ā€œDonā€™t stayā€ {

[script here for donā€™t stay]

}

Thank you so much!

yeah :confused: They wonā€™t show up

Hello. I was reediting a chapter and was putting a choice within a if/else bracket, and it would not let me do it. Is it possible to do it? I kept on getting the following error messages every time I tried to fix it. Let me give you the error messages first. I can give you the script too. I just wasnā€™t sure if I was not allowed to put a choice within a if/else bracket. Anyhow here are the following error messages I got:
Unexpected STRING: Laura tells her story", ā€œlabelā€: ā€œā€}
There is a { on line 385 that does not have a matching }", ā€œlabelā€: ā€œDonacodeā€}

Anyhow maybe I should give you the script with the error : Unexpected STRING: Laura tells her story", ā€œlabelā€: ā€œā€}

I could give you the script for the other version too if it helps. I am just confused where is the error and if I am doing something that works in the script or not. I think Iā€™m missing something but not sure what.

Hi! So before this wasnā€™t a problem but now it is appearing as an error. When I use the command:

@overly CLOUD moves to layer -4

or

&overly CLOUD moves to layer -4

it says itā€™s not a valid directing command. What should I change it to?
