INT. JUVIE WELLES BEDROOM - DAY

@PRINCE enters from right to screen right

Hey Prince [PRINCE]!

And looking as hot as ever.

@YOU is blush_shy

sound door_knock

@YOU is react_mortified and PRINCE is react_mortified

YOU (talk_startled_neutral)
Should I answer the door? It could be someone important!

PRINCE (talk_afraid)
I guess…but where should I go?

@YOU faces left and YOU is think_rubchin
@YOU faces right and YOU is think_rubchin

YOU (talk_shrug_concerned)
You could…

choice
“Jump out the window?” {

PRINCE (deepbreath)
Here goes nothing…

@PRINCE exits left and PRINCE is walk_scared_loop

sound crash_2

YOU (talk_sad_exhausted)
I hope he’s okay.

}
“Hide under the bed?” {

YOU (talk_think_neutral)
Why don’t you hide under the bed?

PRINCE (talk_afraid)
I guess I could try that.

@PRINCE walks to spot 0.803 120 276

}
“Hide in the closet?” {

YOU (talk_think_neutral)
Hide in the closet! There’s plenty of room there.

PRINCE (talk_sad_exhausted)
Ok. I’ll hide in the closet…

@PRINCE exits left

#2

You didn’t closed the choice “Hide in the closet?”
Put } after @PRINCE exits left

#3

I have tried that. Because after that part, this code comes…

}elif (casper_romance) {

(another scenario…)

It still says the same error

#4

Can you send a screenshot of the script…

#5

I now know the problem
You just placed one bracket

There should be another one Before elif option as there is a choice in the if option so write like this-
}
}elif (casper_romance){
(Scenerio)

There are a few screenshots. I’ll send them one by one.

#7

See the reply above…

#8

Try it…
And why are you using elif are there three or more choices??

#9

Thank you so much! It worked. And yes there’s a 3rd option too. And theres a new error

#11

What is the error??

#12

Is it the same?

#13

It says that there is a { on 218 with no matching }. The line 218 is … “}elif (nicola_romance) {”

#14

I have also put the bracket before that so there’s no problem before that part.

#15

Can you show a little bit after that??

#16

ok
