It appears in my preview but I’m not sure how to spot direct it since it won’t appear on my phone?
I’m glad it’s there in the first place though.:smile:
Sorry for all the questions but do you have any suggestions for this now?

104

You can spot direct it using the web preview, it’s even easier than on the phone, you can just copy the spots instead of rewriting it. The directing helper working the same like it’s working on the phone.

Put the speech in brackets eg:
CHARACTER (idle_rear)
(I wonder if she can see me from here?)

112

Thank you :slight_smile:

Thanks for the help on my previous question, I appreciated it. I have another three questions

  1. How do you use overlays?
  2. How do you add in your own background or overlay?
  3. How do you remember choices that they chose in the last episode?

Thanks in advance x

  1. To put an overlay:
    INT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY with OVERLAY NAME
    (you can size it and move it if you use the Overlay Helper )
  2. To add your own backgrounds and overlays is simple! Go on the background/overlay section, in the top left corner you’ll see “Available for ALL stories” , just click on it and select “Uploaded to YOUR account”. After that a button “Select Image” will appear, just click it and select a pic (it shows the minimum needed size there)
  3. You need to use an if statement.

How can I stay in a scene with out a dialogue ?

122

Adding a pause will allow you to stay in the scene without any other actions.

@pause for 1 #the number is the amount of seconds

Or if your characters are currently doing actions, the scene won’t change until the action is completed.
