OMGoodness! Thank you so much, Dara!
Hi it’s me again, I’m new to the whole choice thing so I need some help… I’m trying to have a dressing scene where the character gets to choose the outfit and here’s what I have…
choice
“Purple & White”{
@MIA is dustoff_loop
@MIA changes into MIA_PURPLE _WHITE
pause for 3
@MIA is shiftweight
}
MIA (shiftweight)
(Is this the one?)
choice
“yes”{
}
“no”{
}
and when I try to preview it says…
Choices must follow dialog immediately, not a branch
help plz!
You need to always have dialogue right before a choice. So make your character say something or use the narrator box to ask what to wear?
CHARACTER (talk_think)
What should I wear?
choice
“Option1” {
Okaay but now there’s a new problem… sry if I’m being a bother
choice
“Purple & White”{
@MIA is dustoff_loop
@MIA changes into MIA_PURPLE _WHITE
pause for 3
@MIA is shiftweight
}
and the error says
there is a { on line 343 that does not have a matching }
but I put one on the last line…
You didn’t put an @ for the pause command.
MIA (shiftweight)
(Is this the one?)
choice
“Yes”{
}
"No"{
}
EXPECTED CHARACTER OR SCENE CHANGE
do you see a problem that would relate to that?
Does the “No” look like this?
}
“No” {
Or this:
}
“No” {
}
“No” {
You can’t skip a whole line between an end bracket and the next option. It needs to look like either of these:
} “No” {
or
}
”No” {
Worked. Thanks again
Ok so essentially I’m writing a story where the reader can choose the gender of their love interest and part of that is after they respond it jumps to a label. After my label, no matter what I follow it with, (directing command, dialogue, scene change etc.) I get essentially the same error message “Unexpected XYZ” or “You cannot use directing commands here”. sorry if these seems obvious but I’m stumped!
choice (GENDER)
“Females!”{
NARRATOR
Are you certain you want your love intrest(s) to be female?
choice
“Yes”{
NARRATOR
Yay! Now let’s get started…
goto label_bisexual
}
“No…”{
goto label_orientation
}}
“Males” {
NARRATOR
Are you certain you want your love intrest(s) to be male?
choice
“Yes!”{
NARRATOR
Yay! Now let’s get started…
goto label_straight
}“No…”{
goto label_orientaion
}}
label_bisexual

Welcome to Harvard University!
One of the most prestigious schools in the united states,
It’s known worldwide for its law program.
A program which you are a part of…
Not too familiar with nested choices… Very easy fix though (I hope loll).
Labels aren’t suppose to be attached to their names.
So change your labels.
For example:
Change label_bisexual to label bisexual
AH thank you so much!
i keep getting script errors for the choices of customization i copied your format [it was a great help] but it keeps saying things like ‘No face called diamond long exists’ it did the same with all the eyebrows. i’m a newbie and i don’t understand where i went wrong? would you mind helping? Thank you so much
You need to replace the template’s character name to your own character’s name.
How do I fix it so that the sound works? I used another sound earlier in the story and it worked properly.
Replace the dash (-) into an underscore (_).
What is wrong? Is it because the name has spaces in it?
Thanks in advance,
Winter xx
Yea it’s because of that. The narrator box only likes names without spaces for some reason, so you’d have to make a new character and name her HEADAGENTFEMALE with no spaces.
