Hey!

I’m trying to do an outfit change and I keep getting hit with an error. I’ve looked at it 100 times but I can’t see what’s wrong.

I would really appreciate some help!

Thanks heaps.

What does your error say?

Expected CHARACTER or SCENE change. Found “Pick a different outfit.” { instead. Did you forget to CAPITALIZE the name, or close the ( ) around the animation?

Copy & Paste your script, I’ll see what I could do :thinking:
Because it’s coded correctly…

Here is from the start of the outfit choices… Thanks so much for helping. I really thought I got it right.

@DANIELLE changes into DANIELLE_shower

    DANIELLE (breathe_deep)
(I'm still shaking.)

    DANIELLE (think)
(Nick will be here soon. I should get changed.)

label choosing_outfit

    DANIELLE (think)
(What should I wear?)

choice
“Casual” {

@DANIELLE walks to screen center in zone 2
@DANIELLE changes into DANIELLE_casual

}
“Comfy” {

@DANIELLE walks to screen center in zone 2
@DANIELLE changes into DANIELLE_comfy

}
“Cute” {

@DANIELLE walks to screen center in zone 2
@DANIELLE changes into DANIELLE_cute
goto DECIDE

}
“Naughty” {

@DANIELLE walks to screen center in zone 2
@DANIELLE changes into DANIELLE_naughty

}
“Pyjamas” {

@DANIELLE walks to screen center in zone 2
@DANIELLE changes into DANIELLE_pjs

}
“Sexy” {

@DANIELLE walks to screen center in zone 2
@DANIELLE changes into DANIELLE_sexy

}

@DANIELLE walks to screen center in zone 1
@pause for a beat

DANIELLE (think)
Shall I wear this or try something else?

choice
“Choose this outfit.” {

continue
}

“Pick a different outfit.” {

DANIELLE (think)
Yeah it’s not quite right.

goto choosing_outfit

}

Get rid of continue, it’s just there without a character speaking or a goto.
Try to get rid of that line

Yeah I just changed it back to

 DANIELLE (think)
Shall I wear this or try something else?

choice
“Choose this outfit.” {

    DANIELLE (think)
This will do.

}

“Pick a different outfit.” {

    DANIELLE (think)
Yeah it's not quite right.

goto choosing_outfit

}

Still the same error. :c

Delete the empty lines between } and the next choice

like:
choice
“pick this outfit” {

DANIELLE (think)
This will do.

} “pick a different outfit” {

DANIELLE (think)
I should try the others.
}
