I’m nearly done with my first chapter, however, I cannot clear the following errors to save my life! Can someone help? I have two different dressing games depending on an earlier choice in the episode. I’ve tried renaming the second one and then I get an error saying it does not exist. How do I fix this?
Can you post a picture of your script?
OK, you can’t have duplicate labels in an episode. You need to change them or modify them, for example add a 2 to them:
label dressing_game2
label dressingwork_game2
When you do this, you NEED to add a 2 to the goto as well for both of them within the dressing game.
This means goto dressing_game2 will lead to label dressing_game2 and goto dressingwork_game2 will lead to label dressingwork_game2
IF you forget to add the 2, then goto dressing_game will lead to the very first dressing game instead of the 2nd one.
Moved to Directing Helps and Tips since this is about coding. Make sure to check out our Forum Tutorial for more info about where to correctly create topics, and feel to PM me if there are any questions. 
I was able to clear the duplicate errors, but now I have the following.
The label “dress_wear1” is never used.
The label “merge_story” does not exist
The label “dressingwork_game1” is never used.
The label “dressingwork_game1” does not exist
That means you don’t have the right gotos for them (never used), and you possibly didn’t write the other labels (does not exist)
Where would I put the label merge_story? I tried before the goto but it generates another error.
{
goto merge_story
}
label dress_wear

What’s before merge story? Why do you need that?
Also your gotos and labels aren’t matching, that’s why they’re not working.
I tried removing the merge story before and it completely skipped over a scene. All that is before the merge story is the end of a different choice.
