New writer in need of help with writing script

change labels and use my script

thanks ksena This is what its giving me now. Is the issue the brackets or just how its coded? 4

And yeah, you don’t need labels for dressing game, unless you character, for example, goes outside and needs to wear a coat and then change dresses

Why do you have bracket on line 148

What i did was in the episode script there is a button that says choices. I clicked that and this was the script that it gave me. This is the original script and i just inputed my outfits- i have 3 choices

Choice - Outfit {

@LACEY stands screen center
@LACEY faces right
label dressinggame_1
@speechbubble reset

    LACEY (think)
(I'd like to wear...)

choice (Eps1Outfit)
“Something flirty.”{
@LACEY previews outfit SampleGirlOutfit
####REPLACE THIS WITH ONE OF YOUR OUTFITS####
@LACEY is admire
@pause for a beat
@LACEY starts idle

    LACEY (idle_arms_crossed)
(I love this look! I'll catch the eye of someone cute!)

choice
“Wear this!” {
@LACEY changes into SampleGirlOutfit
####REPLACE THIS WITH ONE OF YOUR OUTFITS####

gain SampleGirlOutfit
#This will let you check if they made this choice later.
goto afterdg1

} “I’ll try something else.” {
@LACEY unpreviews outfit SampleGirlOutfit
####REPLACE THIS WITH ONE OF YOUR OUTFITS####
goto dressinggame_1

}}“Something comfortable.”{
@LACEY previews outfit SampleGirlOutfit2
####REPLACE THIS WITH ONE OF YOUR OUTFITS####
@LACEY is admire
@pause for a beat

    LACEY (idle_arms_crossed)
(This look let's me really feel like me!)

choice
“Wear this!” {
@LACEY changes into SampleGirlOutfit2
####REPLACE THIS WITH ONE OF YOUR OUTFITS####

gain SampleGirlOutfit2
#This will let you check if they made this choice later.
goto afterdg1

}“I’ll try something else”{
@LACEY unpreviews outfit SampleGirlOutfit2
####REPLACE THIS WITH ONE OF YOUR OUTFITS####
@LACEY starts idle_arms_crossed
goto dressinggame_1

}
}“What I have on.” {

    LACEY (primp_condescend)
(I already look great!)

goto afterdg1
}
