2064

2065

oooooooh ok thank you so much

2066

How do I stop my character from going behind my overlay as soon I make it perform an animation? I got all the layers and positions all set. You can see the character and everything but it’s until I want my character to idle_lay_awake_rubeyes_loop, it just disappears behind my overlay. I need help please! :disappointed_relieved:

I’m using a sheet overlay so I could get a “birds-eye” of the bed.

Can you please help me

So my character picks the outfits she wants to wear then she goes to the mall and tries on prom dresses then she needs to change back into the outfit she choose earlier but when I try to do the if/elif/else for her to change it doesn’t work

Here’s the part of the script where she chooses her outfit
label get_ready

@speechbubble reset

@ARIEL2 is think

    NARRATOR (ARIEL)

What should I wear?

choice
“Simply Beautiful” {

@ARIEL2 is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@ARIEL2 changes into ARIEL2_somethingcasual

@speechbubble is 197 284 to 100% with tail_top_left

    ARIEL2 (blush)
(This is so comfortable)

goto yes_no1

}
“Pretty in Pink” {

@ARIEL2 is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@ARIEL2 changes into ARIEL2_somethingpink

@speechbubble is 197 284 to 100% with tail_top_left

    ARIEL2 (primp)
(I always look good in pink)

goto yes_no1

}
“A Little Bit Country” {

@ARIEL2 is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@ARIEL2 changes into ARIEL2_somethingsweet

@speechbubble is 197 284 to 100% with tail_top_left

    ARIEL2 (admire)
(I love these boots especially)

goto yes_no1

}
“Summertime Sadness” {

@ARIEL2 is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@ARIEL2 changes into ARIEL_somethingsexy

@speechbubble is 197 284 to 100% with tail_top_left

    ARIEL2 (primp_condescend)
(I slay this outfit)

goto yes_no1

}
“Peace, Love and Tie-Dye” {

@ARIEL2 is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@ARIEL2 changes into ARIEL2_hippy

@ARIEL2 is head_bob

goto yes_no1

}

label yes_no1

@speechbubble reset

@ARIEL2 is think

    NARRATOR (ARIEL)

Is this what I want to wear?

choice
“YASSS” {

@speechbubble is 197 284 to 100% with tail_top_left

    ARIEL2 (blow_kiss)
(Get it girl!)

goto mall_ready
}
“Eh, what else do I have” {

goto get_ready
}

And here the part of the script where shes suppose be changing back to the outfit she choose earlier

@speechbubble is 105 290 to 81% with tail_top_left

    ARIEL2 (think)

I should probably change back into my clothes

if (Summertime Sadness){
@ARIEL2 is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@ARIEL2 changes into ARIEL_somethingsexy

} elif (ARIEL2_somethingcasual){
@ARIEL2 is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@ARIEL2 changes into ARIEL2_somethingcasual

} elif (ARIEL2_somethingsweet){
@ARIEL2 is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@ARIEL2 changes into ARIEL2_somethingsweet

} elif (ARIEL2_somethingpink) {
@ARIEL2 is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@ARIEL2 changes into ARIEL2_somethingpink
} elif (ARIEL2_hippy) {
@ARIEL2 is dustoff_loop

@pause for a beat

@ARIEL2 changes into ARIEL2_hippy
}

You’re not suppose to put the outfit name for the if/elif/else

This should help you: HOW TO: Remember Past Choices (if/elif/else)

2071

It’s not possible through mobile creating. You can only “shrink” characters and add “pet” overlays if you direct your story through the portal online.

2072

But I tried the choices name and it still didn’t work

2073

Did you name your choice?

if (choice_name is “Choice Option”) {

2074

Okay, thanks I’ll try fix it, thanks :heart::grin:

2075

I need some help too, when im making a spotlight story
 some times my characters don’t appears and i don’t know why???

2076

Can you make an overlay switch sides? Like flip it without uploading a whole new overlay?

2077

Yes you’ll need to make the 2nd scales size a negative, then rotate it 180 degrees

@overlay OVERLAY scales to 1.00 -1.00 in 0
@overlay OVERLAY rotates 180 anchor point 0 0 in 0

You mean they don’t appear when it’s that character’s turn to speak?

2079

Yes

2080

Have you tried refreshing the page or testing your story in the app?

Did you cut or pan to a different zone?

2081

I haven’t tested in the app, i must try that

But the characters appears sometimes, but they appears outside the screen so you only can see a bit of them

2082

So did you cut or pan to a different zone?
