Hey I’m looking for help
My preview doesn’t work
Please
It’s an error on the part of the portal. You should send in a ticket!
If your characters aren’t showing up, it could be because of this:
(read through the comments)
If not, I’d wait a while to try again or use a different browser or clear cache.
If the error still persists you can submit a ticket here: https://episodesupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
I’d also recommend to go over your code so there are no directing errors
So I was reading an episode where instead of a @transition fade out, it was a transition as if a clock was going by and I wanted to do that but I dont know how
Welcome! 
That transition is called iris, there’s iris in and iris out. 
Thank you so much it worked!! (:

Hi,
Can someone please help me?
I’m trying to do the dressing game and I am borderline ready to give up 
Here is what I’m doing and it is saying warning- the ‘changes into’ command is not a valid directing command…
THERE IS NO SPACE AFTER THE @ SYMBOL- IT JUST KEPT TELLING ME I COULDN’T POST! 
label dressing_game
GRETCHEN (think_rubchin)
(What to wear to meet the girls?)
choice
“Outfit 1”{
@ GRETCHEN walks to upscreen left in zone 3
@ GRETCHEN changes into GRETCHEN_default
}
“Outfit 2”{
@ GRETCHEN walks to upscreen left in zone 3
@ GRETCHEN changes into @ GRETCHEN_FANCYLOUNGE
}
“Outfit 3”{
@ GRETCHEN walks to upscreen left in zone 3
@ GRETCHEN changes into @Gretchen_Lounge2
}
@ GRETCHEN walks to screen center in zone 2
@pause for a beat
@ GRETCHEN (think_rubchin)
(Shall I wear this or try something else?)
choice “Wear this outfit.”{
@ GRETCHEN (idle_headbob_neutral_loop)
(This is perfect!)
}
“Try something else.”{
goto dressing_game
}
@ GRETCHEN exits left
Thank you so much! I am doing this in limelight btw.

This isn’t a command. You need to write it this way,
@GRETCHEN is think_rubchin or
GRETCHEN (think_rubchin)
(Shall I wear this outfit?)
This is isn’t a valid command. Write it this way,
GRETCHEN (idle_headbob_neutral_loop)
Perfect l.
How would I do the iris transition as far as format “@iris out white 5” Im really confused because each time I try this transition something’s wrong. Help please
What do you guys do for writer’s block???
@transition iris out white in 5
YES!
Thankyou SO much <3
Hey! I need help with a ‘coding’ error on the portal. I wanted to remove an overlay and I used this code -> @overlay OVERLAYNAME clear, but it says it’s an invalid code
I’ve just started writing so this is probably quite easy but I just can’t find an answer on the forum and don’t want to waste too much time on this! I want my child character to run out (exiting left) while being scared, but when I type “@CHARACTER walk to spot 0.850 -55 136 AND CHARACTER does it while walk_scared_offset_loop” it says that’s not a valid command 
Maybe try this:
@CHARACTER walks to spot 0.850 -55 136 in 2 and CHARACTER does it while walk_scared_offset_loop
*you can also change the #2 to something else- the number indicates how many seconds it will take to walk to (in this case) spot 0.850 -55 136

Just in time! Thank you so much for answering, I actually found out two seconds ago I had forgotten to add the “s” to “walks”, I can’t believe that happened haha
