What happened here?
You’d need to use does it while instead of starts:
When creating long choice codes, you need to divide them up into separate sections with the Paginate command:
choice [shouldPaginate: YES]
“Choice 1” {
etc…

Is there a coding error?
no i’m just stuck on what to write for episode 6
We all stuck sometimes, if you need more help maybe try to find a writing partner 
or visit writers block threads here on the forums 
or just do something that will help to inspire you again 
Hi. I’m new with directing and I need help. I want my character to exit from one scene to another one. For example, I want my character ROSELLA to exit from the regency study room into the la city street scene.
Okay, so I now I was gone for a long time and I’m really sorry
But here, I got the screenshot finally:
I told it to cut to zone 3, then I tried zone 4. But it just won’t budge
Do you think you can help?
Check @pan to zone 4, if that doesn’t work check @pan to zone 3. If none of these work, then there may not be a zone 4, so try @cut to zone 2 or @cut to zone 1. Sorry. Hope it helps.
Good Luck.
Thanks, I’ll try it out!

Well doesn’t Rosella just exit the scenery and then enter the next one?
I’ve done that before, that’s basically what it looks like
Hope this helps😀
Thanks, I’ll try that. 
Has it worked? Did the camera budge?
Sorry, I was busy yesterday.
I’ll try it later today and let you know know, k?
Edit: What about you? Has you’re there ng worked? With Rosella I mean
