Oh. Well if you have any more questions on forum formatting, here’s a guide:

Discourse Text Formatting How-to!

Formatting in Discourse is a little different. It relies more heavily on a coding intuition which can be tricky to get down at first. We’re here to help! Making a new topic First, locate the “New Topic” button in the navigation menu on the right hand side. [newtopic] Tapping on it will pull up a text box which collapsed or re-sized up/down.

Hack for Creating Duplicate Characters!

I found a hack I think the community should know. Say, you allow the reader to customize their character, and you want to do a mirror scene. Everybody knows the long stressful coding it will take.

After the reader customizes the MC, place MCMIRROR offscreen, and put this command @MCMIRROR becomes MC This simple, one-line dialogue will solve all of yo…

So if you write
@MOM becomes mc
Then your mom looks exactly like the mc
then after you do that you can change the features?

@MOM becomes MC
@MOM changes hair to hairname
@MOM changes face to facename
