Have you tried using a label at the end of each choice to go to the same scene ending? You could also try adding another bracket.

@Kayie

choice “1 - 3” {

readerMessage Lian -1

    ASH (walk_talk_neutral_loop)
Between 1 - 3 absolutely
He's not so cool.

@ASH starts walk_angry_loop

    LEI (walk_talk_neutral_loop)
Haha, guess he ain't.

@LIAN -1
gain 1 - 3
readerMessage Lian isn’t happy about this but-- |bold| YOU MADE AN IMPRESSION!
}

Add another } below it. See if that works.

Hi, so I am planning for my main character to go by a different name later in the story in order to hide her identity.
Is there a way to let readers choose her fake name, but in reality her name is something else? Sorry if that doesn’t make sense… But if you can make sense out of my rambling, help is appreciated!

@EpisodeKarma

Is there a way to let readers choose her fake name, but in reality her name is something else?

Yess!

1.) Create two characters. Both having the same facial features. Maybe call one of them MC and name other one the “real” name. For this example, I’ll call that person REALNAME.

2.) Make a reader typed-in choice name to attach to the MC, like so:
input What is your name? | What is your name? | Done (MC)

3.) Later, when you’re doing the reveal —
@REALNAME becomes MC

The MC will change their name to REALNAME, and then you’ll be able to use the REALNAME
character moving forward with your story.

[dukii_x]

Actually, you don’t even need to customize REALNAME. Since you’re already changing the REALNAME character to look exactly like the MC later with @REALNAME becomes MC.

@Anne_The_Creative

@overlay POLICE SIREN LIGHTS’ opacity 0 in 0
Then I added
@overlay POLICE SIREN LIGHTS’ opacity 1 in 0

For the second @overlay try changing the seconds from 0 to 0.1

Ex:
@overlay POLICE SIREN LIGHTS’ opacity 1 in 0.1

You can keep changing that value to be a fraction of a second, until something pops up

Is there any animations where the character dislikes the food/and or drink??

[mousse.epyy]

INK:
eat_cupcake_sad

LL:
eat_food_hand_angry
eat_food_hand_sad
eat_food_hand_worried
sip_cup_angry
sip_cup_sad
sip_cup_worried
sip_stemware_angry
sip_stemware_sad
sip_stemware_worried

[Kayie]

i fixed it, my mistake is putting dashes, gains dont accept any other characters. So i changed every choice name. Thanks for the effort tho!

[clodagh]

After you put in a customization template does it have to be branched off like normal choice???

[ChantelleKing]

This does not wanna work. I want my character to (eyeroll_subtle) before the screen fades out and move on to the next background screen. I´ve also had a lot of trouble understanding how to be able to have a character do different “behaviors” after each other without talking in between. But every time i try i just get the error : you can´t have one character immediately following another

[Elaina2]

Hello,
It’s not working properly because the format you have the animation in is used for text. In this case you’d want to use:

&SELENA starts eyeroll_subtle
@pause for a beat
@transition fade out black in 1

Also on lines 291 and 293
Instead of repeating @pause for a beat you could just do, @pause for # (the amount of seconds you want it to pause for)

[Elaina2]

Regarding different animations after one another,
You’d typically put pauses in between to allow animations to play and finish such as:

&CHARACTER starts animation_name_here
@pause for # (however long you want the animation to last, I think most are around 3 but you can time it or finish it early to start another one right after)
&CHARACTER starts animation_name_here
@pause for #

Instead of the & symbol you could also use the @ but understand that if you use an @ that command will work first and finish before the next ones that follow such as if you want your character to laugh first and then start speaking you would do something like:
@CHAR starts laugh_giggle
@pause for 2
CHAR (talk_deny_neutral)
Blah blah.

If you use & then that command will start along with whatever else follows after it. This is typically used when people want characters to do things while something else is happening so say I wanted a character to react as my main character is speaking then I would do
&CHAR2 starts laugh_giggle
CHAR1 (talk_happy)
Blah blah

Or situations where you want background characters to be doing animations while your main ones are talking you would just do
&BGCHARACTERNAME starts animation_name
CHAR (talk_repulsed)
Blah blah

OR
&BGCHARACTERNAME walks to spot # # in zone 1 in 3
CHAR (talk_repulsed)
Blah

Keep the difference in mind between using @ and & as I also see a lot of people struggle with it or not knowing that & exists.

[ChantelleKing]

Oh my god, thank you so much! i´ve wondered about all of that for so long, and haven´t really been able to continue my story the way i want to, because i didn´t know how to code those things. I really appreciate the help!!

[Elaina2]

Happy to help!

Hi, so I wanted to use the background INT. BLUE SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY, I noticed there was a big bulletin board and was wondering if anyone knew any overlays for it and where to place them, Im new to this and am trying to earn as I go.

[Anne_The_Creative]

Thanks for the help! I tried something like that, it’s working now, thanks for replying!
