You don’t need (movie) next to choice

But on Dara’s template for remembering past choices it says to put choice

When I put in a choice I put

      YOU (insert emotion here)

I should…
choice
“See a horror movie.”{
Dialogue, dialouge, blah blah blah.
}
“See a romance movie”{
Dialogue, dialouge, blah blah blah{

So no two choices?

choice
“Kajdjx”{
}
“akdjcjkd”{
}
Then the little things close the choice

Did you close it with “}”

I think you‘re confused because you think that Dara wrote choice a second time below the choice with the parentheses but this choice doesn‘t belong to the code but belongs to the sentence which says „in parenthesis is how you name that specific choice

Why do you have “if (movie) is “horror movie””?

I believe the if-clause would need to be

if (movie is “A horror movie.”) {
INT. LIVING ROOM 2 DAY ALEXA_EPISODE
music juvie_schooldaze
@cut to zone 1
@LI stands screen

} elif (movie is “Magic Mike.”) {

} else {

}

The else command doesn‘t go with parentheses, it just uses whatever choice is left which would be the action movie, so there‘s no need to add it
