thanks. how do i allow the readers choose a name and also customize themselves?

You can find a customization template here made by @MariaG . All you need to do is delete everything except for the hairstyle and lip color choices:

Good day guys!
I’m Maria, author of Angoria and I’m here to help you with customization script templates !
For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, these templates are a piece of coding you type while writing your story in the Writers’ Portal, in order to enable the reader to customize the characters. It takes hours to create a code like this, but fear not! I have links for both customization script templates, INK and Limelight!

INK
From :star::star:Ella_on_episode and Dara Amarie :star::star: on Instagram:
INK Female Customise Character Script Template
INK Male Customize Character Script Template

LIMELIGHT
From :star::star:Joseph Evans :star::star: on EpisodeLife:
Limelight Female Customize Character Script Template
Limelight Male Customize Character Script Template

If you are facing any errors, screenshot the problem, send it below and I’d be happy to help!
Hope that helped! REMEMBER. Always give credit to the creators!

Love, Maria :cherry_blossom:

Does anyone know how to have a speechbubble appear with no character?
Like Background voices.

Yes! Create a new character and put nothing in the display name box.

But I don’t want the character to appear on screen. Just the speechbubble.

Make the character appear offscreen like this:
@CHARACTER stands offscreen right

It worked! Thanks for the help:)

I have a question how do i make a charecter sit or stand behind the background like far away

And whenever you want to use the reader’s name just put NAME in brackets like this: [NAME]

You can use back positions:
@CHARACTER stands back right
@CHARACTER stands back left
@CHARACTER stands back far right
@CHARACTER stands back far left

Or:
You can use spot directing. However, be careful with your layers and the size of the character!
