"Stupid" questions that never get answered? Get The Help Here!

So, Does Limelight use different coding? I have a limelight story I have been setting up but I haven’t written on it yet.

Nope, everything is the same, except the animations :slight_smile:

Okay cool

Hi, I need help with remembering choices. If anyone has a tutorial or something that just has it for remembering hair styles that the reader choose that would be really helpful!

Hi, so I’m wondering on how to go to a previous line from customizing. Like when you make sure your character looks ok

Here’s the thread :slight_smile:

You can use this code next to the word choice:

choice [shouldPaginate: YES]

Unless you mean the confirmation of the choice? :thinking:

That’s indeed very weird question :joy:

Hi,
I’m sure this gets asked a lot, but how do you remember past choices?

For one of the episodes I used this:

NARRATOR
What’s your favorite food?

choice
“lasagna”{

gain ff_lasagna

LOLA (talk_exclaim_yes)
Lasagna!
}

But with lots of choices. Later on I did this:

if (ff_lasagna){
JAMES (talk_happy_agree)
I got you your favorite, lasagna!
}

But for every choice. It worked then but it doesn’t work now.
Is there another method that I could use? Or did I do something wrong? I really need this to work for the end of my story and I’m kinda lost.

You had only one option? Or more?

You can use naming choice method as well, but I personally prefer use gains like you.

Try:
if (ff_lasagna){
JAMES (talk_happy_agree)
I got you your favorite, lasagna!
}else{

}

And remember to always reset your story progress or unflag gains if you want to test it out if everything works properly.

How do i use transitions while a character is doing something? Every time I try to do something like &transition fade out black in 2 it just says theres an error

use & for character instead

Example:
&CHARACTER exits left
@transition fade out black 5

Thanks!
And I had 4 choices.
What’s unflagging gains? Sorry if it’s a stupid question I’ve just never heard of it.

You can unflag gains by clicking on Story Modifiers then Flags and clicking on gains (if they in gold that’s mean they’re “gained”)

Okay, I’ll try it. Thanks!

How do you get a character that is already on screen to move to screen left and face right? what code is it? i tried this but it didnt work. @CHARACTER walks to screen left and faces right

@CHARACTER walks to screen left AND CHARACTER faces right

Thank you !

I’m hoping someone can help out.

So, I’ve been following a guide for fading overlays, but it says the create, clear, and opacity commands are all wrong! Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
