How to delete characters

Creator's Corner
#1

Hello all! I just figured out how to delete characters when there’s no a ‘delete character’ button. In the script you have to make sure that all of their lines or name is gone. EX: if i want to delete a character named @GUY1 do control (or command on apples)and f, hit all and delete their name or exchange it for something else. Hope it helps!

  • Remove every trace of your character from your script.
How to search and remove.
  • Ctrl+F
  • Search for your character’s name.
  • Use the arrows to go through each occurence of the name and remove the line / remove your character from the line.

I also can’t delete the narrator

#15

In your script make sure there is none of this
NARRATOR (NARRATOR)
Hey

It does allow you to delete the character if you just have the narrator speaking w/o the actual NARRATOR character there you just have to look a bit harder to find them all b/c trust me, I miss alot of them too

#16

Mine won’t delete. I searched if there was any coding with their name and nothing was there so they are not included in my script but It won’t let me delete them.

#17

If a character isn’t in the script, the delete button will appear.

Did you use Ctrl + F to search?

Thank you! It seems like it didn’t load correctly yesterday because I had the edit characters and my coding on two different tabs.
