Hi, I was working on an outfit choice and I’m running into the bracket issue where the script says I’m missing a bracket. I’ve added a bracket at the end of the code, but it apparently still doesn’t fix the issue. Can you see if you can tell where the issue is? Thank you in advance! Here’s the code:

label dressinggame_1
@speechbubble reset

    YOUNGSTELLA (think)
(I'd like to wear...)

choice (FirstDayHS)
“Simple”{
@YOUNGSTELLA is dustoff_loop
@YOUNGSTELLA previews outfit FirstDay1
@YOUNGSTELLA is admire
@pause for a beat
@YOUNGSTELLA starts idle

    YOUNGSTELLA (idle_happy)
(Looks good!)

choice
“Wear this today.” {
@YOUNGSTELLA changes into FirstDay1

gain FirstDay1
goto afterdg1

} “I’ll try something else.” {
goto dressinggame_1

}}“Comfy”{
@YOUNGSTELLA is dustoff_loop
@YOUNGSTELLA previews outfit FirstDay2
@YOUNGSTELLA is admire
@pause for a beat

    YOUNGSTELLA (idle_happy)
(This is more comfy for today!)

choice
“Wear this!” {
@YOUNGSTELLA changes into FirstDay2

gain FirstDay2
goto afterdg1

}“I’ll try something else”{
goto dressinggame_1

}}“Dressy.” {
@YOUNGSTELLA is dustoff_loop
@YOUNGSTELLA previews outfit FirstDay3
@YOUNGSTELLA is admire
@pause for a beat
@YOUNGSTELLA starts idle

    YOUNGSTELLA (idle_happy)
(Dressy, but impressionable!)

choice
“Wear this!” {
@YOUNGSTELLA changes into FirstDay3

gain FirstDay3
goto afterdg1

} “I’ll try something else.” {
goto dressinggame_1

goto afterdg1
}}

label afterdg1

hello, I have a problem and it won’t go away
It says error on that first line, it’s really annoying.

Remove the part that is bolded:

What’s the problem?

it says part%202

Is there an ending bracket for that choice?

Thank you!!

Will the placement of the choice change just because I move the speech bubble?

Yes because the choice buttons appear right under the speechbubble. So if you move the speechbubble higher, then the choice buttons will aslo move up higher.

Wow :hushed: Why didn’t I think of that? :thinking:

Anyway thank you so much for your help Dara :smile:

i think i’ve seen this before: how do you make characters darker in a scene? like when you’re using a night background and the characters look super bright it looks unrealistic, can you make them darker like it’s actually night?

Use the overlay “EFFECT DIM 60”

i think i did something wrong haha
i put @overlay EFFECT DIM 60

overlay

I need help figuring out how to make my filter set in 0 seconds instead of in the same time as my transition. Here is the script I have:

When I use “@” instead of “&” there is a period where it is setting the filter before my character even appears on screen. Was wondering if there was a way to set the filer in # of seconds just like you can for reset. Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Just put “in 0” at the end of that command:

&set hsl 0 -100 0 no_colorize with blendMode NORMAL to 50% in 0
