Repost from a thread that I gave this answer to:

@JemU776

Code to lock episode:

label unlock_episode
input What is the password? | What is the password? | Unlock(CODE)
if (CODE is “Pizza”) {
NARRATOR
Correct! You’ve unlocked this Episode!
} else {
NARRATOR
Password incorrect. Don’t try again.
goto unlock_episode
}
@pause for 0

So if the reader writes Pizza, they would unlock the episode (which is something you do not want)-and it doesn’t have to be pizza, it can be any word that you want!
P.S this is just an example.

Another way to “lock” an episode:

label restart_story

INT. BLACK - NIGHT

@zoom reset

NARRATOR
This episode is not out yet.

goto restart_story

So, this would loop the episode : )
And this is just an example format.

YOU CAN EVEN combine both!

End result:

label restart_story

INT. BLACK - NIGHT

@zoom reset

NARRATOR
This episode is not out yet.

label unlock_episode
input What is the password? | What is the password? | Unlock(CODE)
if (CODE is “Pizza”) {
NARRATOR
Correct! You’ve unlocked this Episode!
} else {
NARRATOR
Password incorrect. Don’t try again.
goto unlock_episode
}

NARRATOR
Ha, ha, even though you unlocked this Episode, it’s unplayable. So back to the start you go!
goto restart_story

Anyways, good luck with everything!

Hope this helps anybody that comes across it! XOXO
