Tada!
Alright, I can’t sleep 
so I wanted to share a piece of code I made for a mini-dressing game that I think is pretty cool. I’m not sure if anyone has already explained this, if so… this may be redundant.
So basically this code allows players to loop through outfits using two tappable overlays (arrow up and arrow down) and select their choice using the green checkmark.
Arrow DOWN goes back one outfit and arrow UP goes up one outfit in the list!
The current code currently only works for THREE outfits
You will need to:
- Create a character called OUTFITCOUNTER
- Upload THREE overlays: up arrow, down arrow, and checkmark (or use my overlays)
- Name these ARROW UP, ARROW DOWN, and SAVE
- Have THREE outfits and THREE gains, each gain corresponding to an outfit. Ex:
- CHARACTER_outfit1 —> outfit1
- CHARACTER_outfit2 —> outfit2
- CHARACTER_outfit3 —> outfit3
…
Note: This step is not mandatory unless you plan to save the outfit choice in a gain (EX: Your character will wear the outfit in a later scene). If your character is choosing the outfit for the next scene, skip this step. You should remove the following piece of code as well in the SAVE block:
REMOVE THIS
if (OUTFITCOUNTER =1) {
gain outfit1
} elif (OUTFITCOUNTER =2) {
gain outfit2
} else {
gain outfit3
}
- Replace my custom code with your own. Everywhere you see
@CHARACTER, change it to your own character’s name. Everywhere you seeCHARACTER_outfit<#>, change it to your desired outfits. If you want to use gains, changeoutfit<#>to your custom gains in the"SAVE"block.

Nice choice!
If you’d like an explanation for how it works, keep reading:
HOW THIS WORKS
Basically, when the player taps an arrow to change outfits, we want the system to keep track of which outfit the player is currently previewing. This is why we need the OUTFITCOUNTER because we need to define a variable that represents the outfit the player currently sees.
We add one to OUTFITCOUNTER when we tap UP and we subtract one to OUTFITCOUNTER when we tap DOWN.
But we also have to keep track of the fact that the player isn’t wearing any of the outfit choices at the start, so that’s why we set OUTFITCOUNTER =0.
An odd case is when the player taps ARROW DOWN and OUTFITCOUNTER =0. What we do is, we need to set it to the third outfit OUTFITCOUNTER =3 (Because there’s no -1 outfit). This part of the looping mechanism.
Another odd case is when the player taps UP and OUTFITCOUNTER =3. Well, we only have three outfits, so we need to loop back to the first outfit by setting the OUTFITCOUNTER =1 and having the player preview the first outfit.
I hope this explanation helps. If you would like to include more outfits in this mini-game, and still aren’t sure how to implement this, leave a comment below and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can!
Anything after label save_choice is entirely up to you.
And of course, my overlays:
My boyfriend says they’re ugly. 
Lmao whatever, I still use them
UP
DOWN
CHECKMARK
I will go to sleep now.
