“Stupid” questions that never get answered? Get The Help Here 2!

I have two sort of stupid questions, but I’m extremely new here, I would really appreciate some help.

How do you post a new topic/thread here? On the forum, I mean.

And this one is really confusing me. I wanted my character to perform an action without ny dialogue. And from what I gathered, I should use the CHARACTER starts (action) command.
However, when I try that, it says that this is not a valid directing command. Please help, what can I do?

Thank you for your help, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be working. It still diplays an ERROR, saying its not a valid directing command.

Can you post your script?

So, dear audience, who looks better?

I'm obviously the more amazing one, but this one is about character customization skills!

@CHRYSELL is (idle_armscrossed_shifteyes_loop)
@HAZEL is (idle_armscrossed_shifteyes_loop)

This is the part where the errors are shown.

Hi. I need help coding my intro for my story. It’s pretty simple but there’s something wrong.

Here’s my script for it.
EXT. EROS MATCH with EROS with MATCH

@overlay EROS shifts to -314 154 in zone 1
@overlay EROS scales to 1.197 1.197

@overlay MATCH shifts to 310 -245 in zone 1
@overlay MATCH scales to 1.084 1.084

@overlay EROS shifts to -26 102 in zone 1 in 1.5
@overlay EROS shifts to 1.197 1.197

@overlay MATCH shifts to -17 -233 in zone 1 in 1.5
@overlay MATCH scales to 1.084 1.084

What I want it to look like:

What it ends up looking like:

I don’t know why it’s doing this. It keeps moving there and won’t do what I tell it.

It’s probably because of these:

@overlay EROS shifts to -26 102 in zone 1 in 1.5
@overlay EROS shifts to 1.197 1.197

@overlay MATCH shifts to -17 -233 in zone 1 in 1.5
@overlay MATCH scales to 1.084 1.084

Does anybody know that if I change how a character looks on a published story, will it change people who had their character made beforehand? (with cc)

Is there a way to let the reader choose their gender without having to make 2 scripts or 4 if I decide to let them choose there LI too.
Someone said w can use the “turns into” feature but I thought this messed the script up?

Using the “turn into” animation will cause errors, you’d have to make 2 (or 4) scripts.

Every episode needs at least 400 lines to be published, but in terms of minutes, most people recommend 10-17 minutes.

Thank you I thought that would be the case :frowning:

I have another question I can turn music off but not sound can anyone help me, this is my script

Narrator
Do you want to turn the music and sound in or off?

choice
“Off” {
volume music 0 0
volume sound 0 0
}
“ON” {
volume music 100 0
volume sound 100 0
}

Continued story with music and sound effect if the read chooses off music is off but sound still plays but if they choose on then the both work as they should.

I’ve also tried

Narrator
Do you want to turn music off?

“Yes” {
volume music 0 0
}
“No” {
Volume music 0 0
}

Narrator
Now do you want to turn sound on/off

choice
“On” {
volume sound 100 0
}
“Off” {
volume sound 0 0
}

Continued story with music and sound if the reader leaves chooses to leave them on then both work, if they choose to turn both off then music is off but sound isn’t.
