Hi Dara!
I’m having a bit of trouble with the “LOCKED” choices - the first pic is what my script looks like, and the second is the error when I try to preview it on the portal, it doesn’t show up on my phone. I’ve changed it to the “GREEN” option in the mean time, but is there any way I could use the “LOCKED” option?
Thank you! <3
It looks like the web previewer doesn’t like the < LOCKED > command. Test that part out in the app instead (also the web previewer doesn’t show input typed in choices, so you would have to use the app either way if you wanted to test out that part of your story).
Position your characters where you want them to be. Have one character do a kiss animation, have the other character do a kiss rear animation. Both characters should be facing the same way, so if the character facing forward is facing right, the character doing the rear animation should also face right.
&BOY stands screen center and BOY faces right and BOY is kiss_makeout_loop_rear
@/GIRL stands upscreen left and GIRL faces right and GIRL is kiss_makeout_loopGot it! Thank you so much! <3
Hi! The script has an error and says that “Choices must follow dialog immediately, not a branch” What am I doing wrong?
@LILITH DEMON is think
choice
LILITH DEMON (think)
What should I wear?
}
“Black Cutout Dress” {
@LILITH DEMON exits right
You have to add some dialogue before the choice
LILITH DEMON (think)
What should I wear?
choice
“Black Cutout Dress” {
@LILITH DEMON exits right
Now it says “Unexpected BLOCK_BEGIN: {” And I don’t know what to do
label 1_1_dressinggame
LILITH DEMON (think)
What should I wear?
choice
{
“Black Cutout Dress” {
Remove that bracket between the word choice and “Black Cutout Dress”, that shouldn’t be there.
Ok, thanks a lot! But it says that this is wrong too. Does it mean that I have mispelled everything about choosing outfit? And where can I eventually find the correct script, because someone else wrote this, but everytime I fix it, a new error shows up…
gain (TRIED_BLACK_COUTOUT_DRESS)
}
} “Black Diamond Dress” {
The format for a choice should look like this:
CHARACTER
Dialogue.
choice
"Option 1" {
#script here
} "Option 2" {
#script here
} "Option 3" {
#script here
}Hi Dara,
Please can you tell me how to code so that the reader can input her last name as well as her first name?
Use the input code.
I’m using the code below for the first name, but how do I set it for the last name? And how to call up the last name later on in the story?
NARRATOR
What’s your name?
label YOU_name_input
input What’s your name?|What’s your name?|Done(YOU)
if (YOU is “”){
NARRATOR (YOU)
I can’t run around without a name!
goto YOU_name_input
}else{
continue
}
It’s the same code. Just change “What’s your name?” to “What’s your last name?” then change YOU to something like LASTNAME
Ooooh… Thank you! 
Try spotting the code
&ADRIANA enters from right to screen center in zone 3
&EMILY enters from right to screen right in zone 3
You don’t add “in zone #” for that command. It’s just “enters from right to screen center” without the zone 3. You already cut to zone 3 so you don’t need to add that in.
No problem 
Hey Dara! I was wondering if you knew a few things.
First: how do you customize two characters in one episode without errors?
Second: how do you make it when someone chooses something for a choice, that choice answer gets carried into the next episode?
Third: how do you make characters speak offset?
sorry for so many!! thanks so much
One:
Two:
Three: if you mean offscreen, place your characters in a different zone and have them talk, or use the narrator box with their name next to it:
NARRATOR (CHARACTER)
Dialogue.
