So I made a character that a reader can name and customize. What do I do if another character wants to say the customized character’s name? Do I put @YOU or no?
EXAMPLE:
YOU (arms_crossed)
What do you mean?
Daren (laugh_giggle)
Look (YOU), I don’t want to be mean but that dress doesn’t suit you.
How do I put the name that the person chose in the (YOU)?
So they told me I had to put [YOU] and I did but it doesn’t work.
What should I do?
What I have in the begining of the story: #Avatar-Female{
#@FAMILYMEMBER1 stands screen center in zone 3 @YOU enters from left to screen center
NARRATOR
So… what’s your name?
label first_name_input
input What’s Your First Name?|What’s Your First Name?|Done(NAME)
if (NAME is “”) {
NARRATOR
You do need a name.
goto first_name_input
} else {
continue
}
The sentence I need to put it in but doesn’t work:
CLERGY PERSON (talk_neutral_loop)
And do you Damian Bonnay accept [YOU] as your beloved wife?
No no no. This is the code you are using in your script:
#Avatar-Female{
#@FAMILYMEMBER1 stands screen center in zone 3 @YOU enters from left to screen center
NARRATOR
So… what’s your name?
label first_name_input input What’s Your First Name?|What’s Your First Name?|Done(NAME)
if (NAME is “”) {
NARRATOR
You do need a name.
goto first_name_input
} else {
continue
}
You have NAME inside the parentheses in that code, so take that word and wrap straight brackets around it in the dialogue.
CLERGY PERSON (talk_neutral_loop)
And do you Damian Bonnay accept [NAME] as your beloved wife?
