Hi, does anyone know how to add a tappable intro that includes customisation, skip and start? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
you’ll have to use tappable overlays to do that
Thank you, I’ve used a tappable overlay but i’m not sure how you would add the customisation and skip button into the code.
For the customisation, just use one of Dara.Amarie’s templates, and add the tappable overlay
And skip, just add the tappable overlay and dont write anything, if you want to skip to the end.
Do you know how i could lay that out please?
What? The tappable overlay?
I will text you in 5 mins
Ok
So…?
This is what i have so far but i want to add skip and customisation but i’m not sure how.
I would suggest using a template, it’ll be much faster and easier
Ok thank you, do you know where i could find one please?
Hi, I can help
Can you send me your 3 overlays:
Q: Can they skip without playing the episode or they need to play it at least once before they skip it?
After the episode ends does it take them back to the main menu that has customization, skip and play. Can they re-play the episode (ex. not recommended if you use gains BUT even if you use gains it just means you need to do a little extra coding, etc.)
Thank you so much! I’ll send you the overlays in a minute.
I swear Dara has everything: . I love her.

#Notes, since I wasn’t so sure if your intro background had a title, I coded it on what I thought best worked, considering tablet size. BY the way, I re-sized your overlays because they were too big and I gave them new names (also for the code above, I use the gain read, when you’re testing your story on the app, each time make sure to reset your story progress: HOW TO: Reset Story Progress + Bonus Stuff :blob_sun: . Just be wary, if the re-play the episode (ex. if you had gains in your episode, it’s best not to let them re-play the episode or do additional coding so for the second time they play through, they can skip the important choices that have a gain)
BTW:
Here you replace this with CC templates for your characters.
For this, the whole episode script would go here.
For both the CC option and start story, I begin the scene with a new background.
