That means your script doesn’t recognize it’s name, what did you name the character in your script?

3

I didn’t name it, I left the readers to name the character.

4

In the script, the character should have a name
Like YOU or MALECHARACTER or whatever you name them before the reader does.

5

At the start I put:
label boy_custom_1
@MALEAVATAR spot 2.400 170 -520 and MALEAVATAR faces right and MALEAVATAR starts idle

input What is your name? | What is your name? | Done (NAME)

6

Oh MALEAVATAR - It was a template

If you are getting an error message saying that “no eyebrows” exist (or any other feature doesn’t exist), these are the 3 reasons why you would be getting that error:

  1. The system does not recognize the character name. You either didn’t change the template’s name to your own character’s name, you misspelled your character’s name, or you have not created that character yet.
  2. You are using a male character in a female template (and vise versa)
  3. You are using an INK template in a Limelight story (and vise versa)

This is from DARA.AMARIE’s thread

8

But if it is called MALEAVATAR is that the reason of the error

9

It could be, the name of the character needs to be identical to the script’s name!

Can you confirm if this has worked? Thanks!

13

didn’t work

14

what’s your character script name?
