I’m trying to get it to ask me if i want to customize or skip but it keeps asking if i want to start the chapter. How do i fix this i have been fighting with it for hours!

Here’s my script

label menu

@overlay START create
@overlay 4628770297413632_START shifts to 38 300 in zone 2
@overlay 4628770297413632_START scales to 1.019 1.019
@overlay START opacity 1 in 1

@overlay SKIP create
@overlay 4628770297413632_SKIP shifts to 38 237 in zone 2
@overlay 4628770297413632_SKIP scales to 1.019 1.019
@overlay SKIP opacity 1 in 1

@overlay CUSTOMISE create
@overlay 4628770297413632_CUSTOMISE shifts to 38 155 in zone 2
@overlay 4628770297413632_CUSTOMISE scales to 1.019 1.019
@overlay CUSTOMISE opacity 1 in 1

tappable
“START” {

@overlay START clear
@overlay SKIP clear
@overlay CUSTOMISE clear

how big is the overlay, how much empty space is aroung it, if it goes over the other overlays it can entefire

Example this overlay, you can see all the empty space I put a ring around, thats still the overlay thats still gonna be part of it when you tap
image

3

There is open space but it doesn’t look like that. Its in the middle

4

if it has that space it will be tappable. the entire thing is the overlay

5

Ok thank you. When i press it, it works but it doesn’t take me to customization it takes me to start the chapter when that’s not what i’m tying it to do

You only need to put tappable once and you had your last } in the wrong place.

tappable
“START” {
@overlay START clear
@overlay SKIP clear
@overlay CUSTOMISE clear

}
}

@overlay SKIP clear
@overlay CUSTOMISE clear

They moved it for you. Here’s a condensed version of what Jar did, but they did everything right to fix it:

It was this bracket (bolded) that was originally misplaced. It should be placed right after the first bracket for the customize choice:

    NARRATOR
Do you want to customise?

choice
“Yes” {
goto customise
} “No” {
goto menu
}}
