I did both, I know the web one doesn’t work with that command so… (even tho the web one would show it like instead of a name AutoBot and on the next chapter it would show [NAME])

Did you play episode 1 & 2 back to back?
Like together? yes… on my phone… I don’t know if it would look right on the actual players screen just not mine?
Also, this is what I mean (did on the computer cause it’s easier but otherwise is the same thing)
Again, on the phone “Auto Bot” comes out properly and NAME doesn’t.

The only solution that I have invented is to ask the reader’s name in each episode
Perhaps I can test your un-published story out as a beta reader and see if it works for me

I published it 
this is my story link
All right i checked our your first episode. the name shows. i see in the second episode you talked about the unsolved glitch. for me, can you remove the naming input from your second episode, save + publish. I’ll see if as a reader i get this glitch (so remove the naming part from the 2nd ep and I’ll play the second ep and let you know the results I get).
sure check it out now. I only took it out of the second episode though
How do I change the hsl without it fading into it (instanly changed?)
Please how do i get my character to walk behind a desk or bar? thanks
-get a desk overlay-
@overlay DESK create
@overlay DESK opacity 1
@overlay DESK moves to layer 2
@CHARACTER moves to layer 1
@CHARACTER enters from right to screen center
THANK YOU 
When you’re setting up the filter and fill in all of the values, the S should be zero
You can read more here: HOW TO: Using Filter
OK, I’ll check it out now, lol sorry i fell asleep or I would have responded earlier
UPDATE:
OK, I played your second episode and it worked for me. It showed the name JEM and when Ethan said my name, he said Jem.
I’ve mentioned this to someone already so I’ll mention it again, a repost of mine:
Sometimes layering doesn’t work when you use normal positions. You’ll then have to use spot directing.
So,
@CHARACTER spot 1.280 X 0 in zone 1 at layer -2
@CHARACTER walks to spot 1.280 160 0
screen center = spot 1.280 160 0
So place the character offscreen to the right as you have them coming from there. Whatever the middle number you get is, put it into X (leave the 1.280 and 0 alone so their height doesn’t change and they walk in to the scene smoothly, in a straight line)

I don’t know how to write this question, but how do I get my choices to line up next to each other?
I think my code would explain it better than I could:
SILAS (idle_sad_timid_loop)
(what do I say? Jenna is my best friend, and I'm sure she'd get offended if I don't say anything.)
SILAS (idle_sad_timid_loop)
...
choice “Say nothing and suck it up” {
}
JENNA (idle_armscrossed_angry_loop)
You know, you can't withold your feelings back forever, Silas, one day you're gonna end up exploding over it, emotionally speaking...
SILAS (idle_argument_angry_loop)
I don't get what's your deal? why do you want to know so bad?
JENNA (talk_apathetic)
Youre my best friend Silas, I hate to see how much you changed.
SILAS (talk_argument_angry)
I didn't change. No one else around me has changed. Not you, Not Leo, not me, and definitely not Mike.
choice “say what’s going on at home” {
}
JENNA (idle_armscrossed_shifteyes_loop)
Silas?
SILAS (deepbreath)
My mom has only been home to get some sleep from working graveyard shifts at the hospital. Last I heard from my dad was a letter, saying he worked odd jobs to keep him afloat.
as you can see, I tried to write a choice in my story, but after assuming that both choices would pop up on the same screen, it immediately gave me a different choice, I’m trying to create the choices, but they keep popping up on a different screen/scene?? help?
