Hello Iā€™m a new writer on episode Iā€™m currently writing Burning Flames. I canā€™t do certain things no matter how many youtube videos or scripts I read I canā€™t create choices or mini games like letting the readers choice choices that changes the story. Could you possibly send me a link of helpful easy to learn choice templates where I can change the name and add in my own characters and dialog? I also need help making golden choices and finding out how I can make the characters stay on the page without appearing one at a time and how I can make more then one character use a behavior at the same time like for exampleā€¦ Lola (think) while John (talk_excited) instead of making one react at a time. And I need help with having a character do a behavior without having to add dialog. Lastly I need a template on car drivingā€¦ Thanks look forward from hearing from you soon.

PS my story is INK

  1. To make a Golden Choice you code it like so:

      <PREMIUM> "Insert Text Here"{

    }

  2. If youā€™re wanting to know how to make a gem choice do this:

     choice (choice_name)

    ā€œInsert Choiceā€{

    }
"Insert other choice"{

}

  3. To make the characters stay all at once instead of popping up one at a time do this:

@CHARACTER stands screen center AND CHARACTER faces right

@CHARACTER2 stands screen right AND CHARACTER2 faces left

@CHARACTER is talk_excited

@CHARACTER2 is idle_awkward

(The problem your having is you are coding it like this instead of the above:)

@CHARACTER stands screen center AND CHARACTER faces right AND CHARACTER is animation

I was in the same situation once but this helped me out.

  1. To make characters make expressions at the same time code it like this:

@CHARACTER is animation AND CHARACTER2 is animation

  1. To have a character do a behaviour without dialoge is simple.,

@CHARACTER is animation

  1. I will hand you a template you can copy and paste into your script:

Script Template:

EXT. MANHATTAN SKYLINE CAR LOOP - NIGHT with CAR ANGLE BROWN

@transition fade in black 2

@cut to zone 2

sound ambient_traffic

@CHARACTER spot 1.280 167 -116 in zone 2 AND CHARACTER faces right

@CHARACTER is sit

CHARACTER (talk_sit)
Insert Text Here

(I hope this helped)
