I would love some help with my coding Sigh Something broke somewhere and I’m not entirely sure what. after a customization go through using Dara A. It repeats the script from before the customization. I’m so confused and I have no clue what I did. It says theres a repeat script error but I just copied and pasted the code. I’ve done two male characters with the same code, could that have broken it? Please help

[PastelTales]

Did you change the labels for the customization?
Normally, you can’t have a label with the same name so first check that, if that’s not the problem send a screenshot from the script and I’ll look at it later because I need to leave for work right now.

[ShadowknightMichi]

So changing the labels didn’t work and just broke it worse lol but I think I found a solution. Ima play with it a bit and come back

[PastelTales]

Okay! Let me know.

Hi! I was wondering if you could help me with something.

So in one of my chapters the reader gets to choose 1 outfit out of 3 for the MC to wear. I was wondering how do you keep an outfit you choose into the next scene?

[PastelTales]

Hey there!

Remembering the outfit you chose is very easy. It works the same as remembering past choices.
I have a video about it on my youtube channel and made timestamps so you don’t have to watch the whole thing.

I recommend using the flag/gain method, that’s te 2nd one in my video.

you basically put gain x(=name of the gain) somewhere in the choice and later when you want to remember the choice you use.

if/elif/else (x = name of the gain){}

More information in my video:

Episode: MAKING & REMEMBERING CHOICES

You can also read this if you don’t have enough time.

DARA’S GUIDE: Remember Choices with if/elif/else

Please visit my website for more templates and guides! https://www.dara-amarie.com/ FIRST AND FOREMOST, to remember choices, you will need to use the if/elif/else code, which looks like this: if (label1) { } elif (label2) { } else { } if is always first, elif is always in the middle, and else should always be the last one by itself if you have 2 options, you only need to use if and else if (label) { } else { } if you have 3 options, use if then elif then else if (label1) { } elif (lab…

Let me know if this helped you

[CraftyKitty18]

Thank you so much! This helped me out a ton, would you like me to credit you?

Hii
Can you tell me how I can make that the character stays with the same outfit that the reader choose from the previous chapter?

Hi, i want to make my character enter with spot directing, and i have no idea how to do it
I tried:
@VICTORIA enters from right to spot 1.280 160
and
@VICTORIA spot 1.280 160

I don’t know how to do it, i heard about that i can place my character in different zone but this background what i want to use has just one zone.

Generally i want my female character to be smaller than male character so perhaps there is another way?

[CrimsonJewel]

ok so I have these two bc characters that won’t listen…

I have this one (very back)
@LESLIE spot 0.850 137 198 in zone 1
@LESLIE moves to LAYER -1

and this one
@AMPHIA spot 1.092 197 98 in zone 1
@AMPHIA faces right
@AMPHIA moves to LAYER 0

and Leslie is supposed to bi in the back… idk

[Amphia]

Maybe try putting it all in one line?

So @LESLIE spot 0.850 137 198 in zone 1 AND LESLIE moves to LAYER -1?

[CrimsonJewel]

a friend fixed it sorry

[Amphia]

Glad to hear that!

[PastelTales]

You can credit me if you want to, but you don’t have to

[PastelTales]

Hello,

You basically use the same technique you use for remembering choices. I think someone else already asked me this questions so you can scroll up a little bit and will find my explanation

[PastelTales]

That’s weird. I don’t think there’s something wrong with “@VICTORIA enters from right to spot 1.280 160” because I’ve used it like this without errors.

Here’s a post that explains everything about spot directing and I’m currently working on a video about spot directing too.

Spot Walking (Walking w/Spot Direction)

Hiiiii I’m RudeInception and today we will be discussing Spot Walking (term I’ve made up). This method will allow you to walk your character all around a scene while the character stays in the size and position you chose while Spot Directing. (What’s that? Spot Directing Guide) Here we go: The general command is @CHAR walks to spot S X Y in zone # in T S = size of the CHAR (default size is 1.280) X = X axis (left to right) Y = Y axis (up and down) zone # = the zone number (1…

Hopefully this helps. Maybe try using just @VICTORIA walks to spot 1.280 160 in zone x, I did that before without errors.

good luck and let me know if it works

[PastelTales]

Oh I’m glad to hear they fixed it. I wasn’t home when you posted this.

[CrimsonJewel]

heh. I’m back

so… I can’t see my overlay I tried

@overlay INT. SCHOOL CLASSROOM TABLE - DAY create
@overlay INT. SCHOOL CLASSROOM TABLE - DAY shifts to 207 96 in zone 2
@overlay INT. SCHOOL CLASSROOM TABLE - DAY scales to 1.000 1.000
@overlay INT.SCHOOL CLASSROOM TABLE - DAY opacity 1
and
@overlay INT. SCHOOL CLASSROOM TABLE - DAY create
@overlay INT. SCHOOL CLASSROOM TABLE - DAY shifts to 207 96 in zone 2
@overlay INT. SCHOOL CLASSROOM TABLE - DAY scales to 1.000 1.000
@overlay INT.SCHOOL CLASSROOM TABLE - DAY opacity 100%

but neither work

Hi, Can Anyone help me?
Actually I want to introduce an unknown character in my story so i want a nameless bubble while he talk but then he will intoduce himself and tell his name I want his name to appear on the speechbubble.
How is it done?

[Creole_KareBear]

@PastelTales

Hmm, I’ve never done this before,but I think you could try fading in and out the characters. Here’s a link to a guide on how to fade in/out characters:

I was just about to create a post asking about how to fade people in and out while they are already on the screen!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
