So, I’ve been practicing to make important choices in my other acc story (not really a story but more of a Practice story… It will not be published since I use this to practice how overlay, zooms, and choices work.
I’ve been very confused towards this. And would like to be guide or teach how to put important choices inside another important choice.
I’m really sorry I can’t help you but I was wondering if you could tell me how to get the newer looking characters in stories because when I add characters to mine they aren’t the new ones they’re the ones from a while back
@ezzwezz2468
If, you already made a story, you have to make a new one, if you start a new you will see “character”. Click the character and you will have to choose which style
Moved to Directing Helps and Tips since this involves coding. Make sure to check out our Forum Tutorial for more info about where to correctly create topics, and feel to PM me if there are any questions.
From what you’re describing and looking at previous posts, it’s likely you placed the missing closing brace } in the wrong place if you placed it after “I’m very shy.”
The closing brace doesn’t go there if you’re trying to nest another choice inside the first option.
The braces should look like this:
choice
"Play along" {
...
ERICA (talk_unsure)
I'm very shy...
NARRATOR (ZINA)
Should I be her wingman?
choice
"Encourage Her!" {
} "Kill her chances!" {
}
} "Call her out" {
}
If you still need help, could you copy and paste that whole section of your script here? I can’t give more specific help without all the details.

I have like another problem, it says here that it has an errorthere is a { on line 248 that does not have a matching.}

The following dots are long dialogues. I only copy and pasted the dialouges that are close to the choice
@Lint as you can see after the dialog or choice of “play along” then to “encourage her” it has like an intro, since it’s only a short scenario of practicing
And “play along” to “stop her chances” it has a bad intro
