Outfit choices to remember from past

Hi there, I’m pretty stuck on the remembering choices when it comes to what outfit a character has worn before. For example: My female character had three outfits for the reader to choose and that outfit goes throughout the scene for any event (club, date, etc). However say she goes to school the next day and she gets broadcast on the phone screens and I want the reader to remember what outfit she wore at the club. How do i go about it? Here’s part of my script to where I’m stuck at.

Okay so here this is where the reader chooses a club style outfit for the character and they wear it throughout that whole time. I got this narrowed down.

INT.WALK-IN CLOSET_6

@zoom reset
@cut to zone 2
music music_serioushouse
@KAI changes into KAI_Towel
@KAI enters from right to back right
@pause for 2
@zoom on 611 172 to 156% in 0
@KAI is think_rubchin
@pause for a beat

label choosing_KaiClub

    KAI (think_rubchin)
(What should I wear?)

choice
“Biker Chic” {

@KAI is dustoff_neutral_loop
@KAI changes into KAI_Club_Black

}
“Neutral Hotness” {

@KAI is dustoff_neutral_loop
@KAI changes into KAI_Club_Neutral

}
“Red Seduction” {

@KAI is dustoff_neutral_loop
@KAI changes into KAI_Club_Red

}

@KAI is admire_happy
@pause for 2

    KAI (talk_shrug_neutral)
(Should I wear this one?)

choice
“Yes!” {

    KAI (kiss_blow_happy)
Perfect!

}
“Nah” {

goto choosing_KaiClub

}

THIS IS WHERE I’m STUCK. Here is where she was broadcast at school when she was at the club but I’m trying to figure out how to do the remember choices part where the reader remembers which club outfit was chosen previously.

INT. STATIC - DAY with SELFIE FEMALE 3

sound static
@pause for a beat

INT. ROCK NIGHT CLUB - NIGHT with SELFIE FEMALE 3

@cut to zone 1
@ZI changes into ZI_Club

label choosing_KaiClub

if (KAI_Club_Black is “Biker Chic”) {
@KAI changes into KAI_Club_Black

} elif (KAI_Club_Neutral is “Neutral Hotness”) {
@KAI changes into KAI_Club_Neutral

} else {
@KAI changes into KAI_Club_Red
}

@KAI changes into KAI_Biker
@KAI stands upscreen left AND KAI faces right AND KAI starts dance_wavehands_happy_loop AND ZI stands upscreen right AND ZI faces left AND ZI starts dance_club_happy_loop
@pause for 5

First of all, give your choice a name. I named it kai_wear, but really you can write anything so long as there aren’t spaces. So it would like this: choice (kai_wear) when KAI is picking which outfit to wear for the first time. Keep kai_wear in mind. Anyways, let’s say you make her change out of it, and you want her to change back into it (you want that choice remembered), you’d use the choice name and option method, the best one for dressing games, which you can read more about here: HOW TO: Remember Past Choices (if/elif/else)

So remembering the choice would look like this:

if (kai_wear is “Biker Chic”) {
@KAI changes into KAI_Club_Black

} elif (kai_wear is “Neutral Hotness”) {
@KAI changes into KAI_Club_Neutral

} else {
@KAI changes into KAI_Club_Red
}

Of course you can include more dialogue and good luck :hugs:
