New writers are always important to our community.
Please feel free to ask anything you’d like.
Also a friend of mine (@Apes) is working on a basic guide for new comers. It’ll be out soon. Be on the look out for that
You just click on the Red and and then you toggle between scale and move on the Blue and when you have the bubble where you want it, you copy down what’s on the Green
Do you know how to script the narrator-type bubbles that show up at the top or bottom of the screen? I’ve seen them in several stories and want to use them on my own, but I can’t figure it out.
So, the dressing choices on my story are coded like this:
label outfit3i3
OPHELIA (think)
(What should I wear on this historic day?)
choice
“God Save the Queen.”{ @OPHELIA is dustoff_loop @OPHELIA changes into OPHELIA V dress @OPHELIA is shiftweight @pause for a beat
goto outfit3i3
}“Anarchy in the U.K.”{ @OPHELIA is dustoff_loop @OPHELIA changes into OPHELIA black pants and leather @OPHELIA is shiftweight @pause for a beat
goto outfit3i3
}
“Pretty Vacant.”{ @OPHELIA is dustoff_loop @OPHELIA changes into OPHELIA goth @OPHELIA is shiftweight @pause for a beat
goto outfit3i3
}
“Choose this outfit.”{
OPHELIA (idle_happy)
(Perfect.)
}
And it’s all good until I want the character to keep the same outfit in the next episode. My question is, if I use that format and add gains on each outfit choice, would it work to remember that choice in the next episode? Or would I have to change the format of the script, making them choose ouftif and deciding if wearing it or not in the next “screen”? (And I also have the same question for lipstick and hair choices)
I don’t know if I explained myself very well, sorry haha. but I could really use your help!
Yeah that’s what I’m worried about. If I make them pick an outfit and then take them to the “yes/no” choice, then it would work well, right? because the goto thing would take them to the outift choice all over again, right? Sorry for being so confused about this but I still have trouble understanding the coding haha
Let me just give you a code without gain since you already have something set up. I’ve used your code and added things, the new things will be in bold.
label outfit3i3
choice (DressingGame1)
“God Save the Queen.”{ @OPHELIA is dustoff_loop @OPHELIA changes into OPHELIA V dress @OPHELIA is shiftweight @pause for a beat
goto yn1
}“Anarchy in the U.K.”{ @OPHELIA is dustoff_loop @OPHELIA changes into OPHELIA black pants and leather @OPHELIA is shiftweight @pause for a beat
goto yn1
}
“Pretty Vacant.”{ @OPHELIA is dustoff_loop @OPHELIA changes into OPHELIA goth @OPHELIA is shiftweight @pause for a beat
goto yn1
}
label yn1
NARRATOR Are you happy with this?
choice “Yes!” {
OPHELIA Amazing!
goto continue_story
} “No!” {
OPHELIA Redo!
goto label outfit3i3
}
label continue_story
Then in the next episode add this in the beginning:
