Script Error {with CHOICES}

I’ve been struggling so much to figure out what’s wrong with my script.
It says:
screenshot-www.episodeinteractive.com-2020.07.16-00_31_45

This is what my script looks like with all the choices as well…

EXT. BACKGROUND
@transition fade in white 2
@pan to zone 3
@pause for a beat
@pan to zone 1

    NARRATOR (CHARACTER1)
Hmmm... Which way should I go?

label beach
@cut to zone 1

    NARRATOR (CHARACTER)
Should I Go This Way?

choice
“Walk To The End Of The Beach”{

    NARRATOR (CHARACTER1)
I think I'm going to stay on the beach, a bit longer...

EXT. BACKGROUND with LOOP

@overlay LOOP to layer 0

&overlay LOOP shifts to -960 0 in 7 THEN overlay LOOP shifts to 0 0 in 0 loop infinite times

}
"Choose A Different Route -> "{

goto home

}

label home
@pan to zone 2

    NARRATOR (CHARACTER1)
Should I Go This Way Instead?

choice
“Go The Shortest Path” {

    NARRATOR (CHARACTER1)
I better head straight for home,
It's getting late.

EXT. BACKGROUND with OVERLAY
@transition fade in white 2

goto beach

    NARRATOR (CHARACTER1)
Which way should I go?


"Take The Longer Way Home"{

goto beach

}

SUMMARY:

  • So for this part, I wanted the reader to choose which direction they want to go. (it’s not finished btw) e.g. they chose to go home, I just want to add choices to decide how she got into the house. But for some reason there’s an error. SMH. I just hope someone can help me…

~NOTE: I’ve swapped character’s names, backgrounds, overlays and dialogue (all the rest of the script works is just the choices)~

Where you put:
choice
“Go The Shorter Path” {
There is only one option and there is not a closing }
It should be:
choice
“Go the shorter path“ {
#input dialogue
}

Right before “Take The Longer Way Home” you forgot the word choice.

It’s before previous way :grin:

:tired_face: I honestly don’t know how I missed that. Thank you so much, your a true life saver :relaxed::+1:
