Hi there, I am looking for someone who can help me with coding in choices. I’m not sure why, but I am not the best with coding in the choices. So if anyone is able to help please let me know. Thanks
What specifically do you need help with? A basic choice would look like this in the writers portal:
CHARACTER
Insert dialogue here.
choice “option1” {
CHARACTER
Insert dialogue or action that correlates with the choice.
} “option2” {
CHARACTER
Insert dialogue or action that correlates with the choice.
}
Once the bracket ends on each option, both branches meet to continue the story. If the choice is more impactful and you want it to be remembered, you need to implement using if/elif/else. Here is a guide explaining how to do that: DARA’S GUIDE: Remember Choices with if/elif/else
I hope this helps!
This helps!
I’m also trying to figure out how to put a choice for at the beginning of the episode “skip episode” because I need to re-edit my previous chapters in my story and I don’t want to make my readers have to re-read the chapter again.
At the beginning of the episode you can put:
goto end_of_episode
then at the end of the episode (before the outro if preferred) you can put:
label end_of_episode
This makes it so that you are essentially creating a destination under a label that you can “goto”. You can use this in a lot of different ways in order to redirect the reader to the label point at any part of the contained episode it is within.
At the beginning you can do:
You can change the goto label names to what you want.
NARR
Do you want to skip this Episode?
choice
“Yes, skip episode” {
goto episode_skipped
} “No, read episode” {
goto episode_continue
}
Then add labels. If they aren’t skipping the episode, the label “episode_continue” goes right after the choice bracket, where you’re episode begins and if they are skipping the episode, the label “episode_skipped” goes at the end. To go to a label you have to code as:
Label episode_continue
(your story continues)
&
Label episode_skipped
(End of the story)
Omg yes, I forgot to include the choice part of the coding!
Thank you @r.lewis_writes and @MoonFire this helps a lot! I am going to code it in right now!
