Does this change who the blue text bubble is assigned to?

65

Yes :slight_smile:

66

Thank you for clarifying! I thought this only established whose side was which.

67

How do I reset the text thing? It sort of messed up my whole episode. It put it to where the whole thing is in a text. How do I fix it? Iā€™ve tried deleting it but it stays the same.

I tried reading it from the beginning and I canā€™t get rid of this.

71

put this code on the beginning so it will ā€œresetā€ episode (hopefully :sweat_smile:)

72

Tried that and it didnā€™t work! :sob: :sob: :sob:

73

Nevermind! I deleted everything and pasted it back. Its fixed now. Yay! :blush:

CHARACTER1

Well for starters, remove the phone overlay and change the phone background with INT. BLACK - DAY as the background, and replace CHARACTER and CHARACTER 1 with Bree and the person sheā€™s talking to and it should work from there.

INT. BLACK - DAY
set format phonetext

BRIAN

Look in your mailbox, you should have the address.
BREE
Umm, why are you acting so weird?

That way when the readers tap itā€™ll change each time.
