To me, it is a bit confusing and I keep on feeling like it doesn’t make sense to me

750

What would I do if I have 8 different color choices for my main character favorite color, in a few episodes the love interest is supposed to give her three dresses of which ever color the readers chooses. I don’t know how to use the If/elif/else for choosing a favorite color.

This is the coding I wrote, can anyone tell me how to fix it so that the choice will matter and have a point system?

label favorite_color

@zoom on 834 266 to 496% in 0

@speechbubble is 165 130 to 100% with tail_top_right

    NARRATER (CRIMSON)

What is your favorite color?

choice “Red” {

@zoom on 677 304 to 411% in 0

@speechbubble is 165 130 to 100% with tail_top_left

    SHADOW (talk_reassure_neutral) 

 Red is my favorite too

} “Blue” {

@ Zoom on 834 266 to 496% in 0

@speechbubble is 165 130 to 100% with tail_top_right

    CRIMSON 

It’s blue.

@zoom on 677 304 to 411% in 0

@ speech bubble is 165 130 to 100% with tail_top_left

    SHADOW 

That’s a nice color, mine is red

All the coding repeats the same after blue. I don’t have time to write all the coding down, the other colors are yellow, green, purple, pink, black and white. All the coding for the rest of the colors is the exact same as blue. :heart:🫶🏻

Hi @Dara.Amarie , I want the reader to be able to choose their outfit and add an accessory right afterwards. I went ahead to go test it but it only changes to one out of the three outfits. Can you take a look? Thanks!
