Just wanted to add that for the phonetext format, use @CHARACTER left or @CHARACTER right to determine whose texts you want to show up on which side of the screen.

Let’s say you want to use the format style and the episode has 2 different text messages in it…
Can you have 2 different main characters so that two people show the blue messages or can you only have one.

Does anyone have a clue why it can’t be used inside an if/elif/else statement? I tried to do it, but I got this error message for my ‘if-line’:
There is a { on line 40 that does not have a matching }
(Actually, I already have an if/elif/else statement inside of another if/elif/else statement, and I wanted to add this “text message choice” inside of that second one. :,D)

My code looks something like this

if (ch604 is “Go after Kyle.”){

TEXT HERE

if (partyoutfit is “Punk-Rock Queen”) {
@NANA changes into nana_party1
} elif (partyoutfit is “Laid-Back Chic”){
@NANA changes into nana_party2
} else {
@NANA changes into nana_party3
}

TEXT HERE

if (MANDY > 0){

TEXT HERE

} else {

TEXT HERE

}

TEXT HERE

NARRATOR
New message
choice
“Open new message”{
CHARACTER
Hi!
choice
“Reply”{
CHARACTER1
Hi… who are you?
}
}
} elif (ch604 is “Stay because of Punk.”){

Is there a code to manually change the main character within the script when set in phonetext format?
