Oof sorry so much questions in one day, but im trying to get this done,

So I’m trying to put a choice in a choice but one of the choices for the choice in the choice is appearing in the choice that contains that choice. HALP.

The script:

TIDE (think_rubchin)
(Do I wanna go?)
choice
“Of course!”{
TIDE (idle_happy_loop)
(Of course!)

@TIDE enters from right to screen right

@TIDE is react_startled_surprised_pose

    TIDE (think_rubchin)
What should I say?

choice
“Hey Olivia… You look beautiful…” {

    TIDE (talk_sheepish_rubneck)
H-Hey Olivia... you look beautiful...

@OLIVIA is react_startled_surprised_pose

@TIDE is idle_awkward_uneasy_loop

I think you need to delete the “}“ before “Hey Olivia!”, because you already put one in the line before

You should do this:

TIDE (think_rubchin)
(Do I wanna go?)
choice
“Of course!”{

TIDE (idle_happy_loop)
(Of course!)
