I think the right code is @/YOU spot 0.548 192 288 AND YOU is cry_sob_loop

Anyway, I also got a question

INT. TEA ROOM - DAY
@CHARLOTTE enters from right to screen center in zone 1

    CHARLOTTE
(hm, what should I do today?)

choice (where_to_go)
ā€œGo shoppingā€ {

INT. MALL BOUTIQUE - DAY

} ā€œGo to the cafeā€ {

INT. CAFE- DAY

}

At the ā€œGo to the cafeā€ option I get an error message and I canā€™t find out whatā€™s wrong with it.

The error message is:
ERROR
Unexpected block end:
Did you forget the } which goes with this {, or forgot the word ā€œchoiceā€ before the choice option?

Thank you for helping!

You need to have CHARACTER is animation. And to have them do the animation while the narrator is talking, use the & sign instead of the @ sign.

& YOU spot 0.548 192 288 AND YOU is cry_sob_sad_loop

In each choice option, you have a background without anything after it. You canā€™t have a scene change without anything in the scene. You need to have a command, any command, after it.

Thank you!

Iā€™m having an issue doing this. I have a character that comes out of an elevator. The elevator doors are at layer 3 while the character is at layer 1. He comes out of the elevator, and heā€™s still at layer 1 when he should be at layer 3. How would I spot him at a different layer?

When he walks out of the elevator, change his layer. And since the elevator doors are at layer 3, your character needs to be at layer 4 when he walks out

@CHARACTER walks to [spot] and CHARACTER moves to layer 4

@Dara.Amarie Thank you very much!

I need helppp

At the end of my story, I wanted the readers to customize Christinaā€™s face (Christina is the main character)
And I told them that the gold choices (the premium ones) are her original look. But for some reason, when I made the face choice, Oval was the premium choice, but for some reason it says:
Unexpected PARAMETERS PREMIUM

What am I supposed to do?

What does your script look like?

label customize_face1

NARRATOR
Now, What do you want her face to look like?
ā€œOvalā€{
@CHRISTINA changes faces into Oval
@pause for a beat
@pause for a beat
}
ā€œSoft Heartā€{
@CHRISTINA changes faces into Soft Heart
@pause for a beat
@pause for a beat
}
ā€œDiamondā€{
@CHRISTINA changes faces into Diamond
@pause for a beat
@pause for a beat
}
NARRATOR
Are you sure?

choice
ā€œHell Yeahā€{
NARRATOR (AUTHOR)
Okay
}
ā€œFuck Noā€ {
NARRATOR (AUTHOR)
Alright
goto customize_face1
}

I dont know why it doesnā€™t show here, but the first choice has PREMIUM in between < >
then it has ā€œOvalā€ {

etcā€¦

}

You didnā€™t add the word choice after the dialogue.

NARRATOR
Now, What do you want her face to look like?
choice
ā€œOvalā€{

Oh I forgot xD Iā€™ve been making a lot of customization choices, looks like I accidentally skipped this one, Thanks though

Yes, just click on the title of your story (in the portal online) and change it to whatever want, then click on the ā€œSave Changesā€ button.

Iā€™m sorry Dara :sweat_smile: But Last thing, I made a choice saying if this is how you want Christina t look like, but then it says CHARACTER or SCENE change. Found ā€œNiceā€ instead. Did you forget to CAPITALIZE the name or close the () around the animation? But when I checked, I believe that everything was okay? this is my script:
NARRATOR
Are you sure this is how you want Christina to look like?
choice
ā€œYes, Sheā€™s Hot!ā€{
Nice
}
ā€œNO, I made a mistake!ā€{
Alright
goto customize_skin1
}

This comes After the choice:
CHRISTINA (talk_exhausted)
Finallyā€¦
@CHRISTINA exits right AND CHRISTINA is walk_exhausted
NARRATOR
To be continuedā€¦
