HOW TO: CODING CHOICES
Coding choices can be more than confusing.
I’m serious. It practically broke my brain!
So, to save you the ridiculous amounts of struggle and brain games, I’ve written out a short, three branch choice for you. This is a basic, outfit selection choice.
SCROLL TO READ
label georgia_outfits1
GEORGIA (talk_think)
What should I wear today?
choice
"Outfit 1."{
GEORGIA (talk_excited)
Ooh, I'll try this one.
@GEORGIA is dustoff_loop
@GEORGIA changes into GEORGIA_outfit1
}
"Outfit 2."{
GEORGIA (talk_excited)
Ooh, I'll try this one.
@GEORGIA is dustoff_loop
@GEORGIA changes into GEORGIA_outfit2
}
"Outfit 3."{
GEORGIA (talk_excited)
Ooh, I'll try this one.
@GEORGIA is dustoff_loop
@GEORGIA changes into GEORGIA_outfit3
}
GEORGIA (talk_preen)
Should I go to the concert in this?
choice
"Yes, you look da bomb!"{
GEORGIA (talk_exclaim_yes)
Woohoo!
}
"Nah boo, you look like ye crawled out de trash."{
GEORGIA (talk_repulsed)
That is no way to speak to a lady.
goto georgia_oufits1
}
@GEORGIA exits right
This will play on repeat until the reader selects the outfit they want and keeps it.
USING OVERLAYS
Overlays make scenes so much more fun, and they look like you worked harder than you really did.
TO ADD AN OVERLAY TO A SCENE
INT. OFFICE - DAY with DESK
Overlays can be used in any scene at all.
You can shift overlays.
Refer to this to learn how to shift an overlay.
BACKGROUNDS
Backgrounds can be found in the ART CATALOG section of the WRITER PORTAL.
TO ADD A BACKGROUND TO A SCENE
In the art catalog, there are plenty of beautiful scenes you can choose from.
INSERTING SCENES - UNRAVELLING
INT. = An interior background
EXT. = An exterior background
DAY = A daytime background
NIGHT = A nighttime background
AN EXAMPLE OF A BACKGROUND
THIS IS CALLED : INT. ITALIAN RESTAURANT OL - DAY
HOPE I HAVE HELPED YOU MASTER A FEW ASPECTS OF THE WRITER PORTAL!
