You can loop your script by adding label and goto like.
label START
#script here
goto START
You can place any word in place of “START” as long as put it on both commands label and goto.
How does it work -
After end of script , when the reader will reach to goto command , it will send them back to label of same name. Here , it will send them in start of script.

So if i’d like it to loop multiple times, I’d just spam goto START?

No you don’t have to if it’s same form of script , but if it’s a choice then you would have to write goto START in every choice at end. But for a normal scene like, end of Episode it will just loop itself for eternity until you give the option to break the loop

Interesting, how do I break the loop (sorry if I missed the obvious)?

You break loop by simple erasing the label and goto causing it. Or you can leave to reader by giving them choice -
choice
“Next episode” {
goto End_episode
} “Repeat this episode” {
goto START
}
label END_episode
#here you can put your outro or simple transition to end story
This will automatically send the readers to next episode

Do you want to loop an overlay or a whole episode?

Then you shouldn’t do it with labels, since you want it to loop forever or for a several ammount of times, while the story goes on.

In case you haven’t solved your problem…Joseph Evans has made a video tutorial about that on YouTube… I think it’s the video about animating overlays… Type: Episode limelight animating overlays and it’ll appear there… Hope that I’ll help you :pray::revolving_hearts:
