Tappable Overlays Aren't Tappable

I’m trying to use tappable overlays for the first time by doing a story menu. My start button works just fine but my other buttons aren’t tapping and going into the other pages I coded them too. There’s no error so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Can anyone help me? Here is my script.

tappable
“START BUTTON” {

INT. BLUE BACKGROUND

    NARRATOR
Do you want to start this episode?

choice “Yes” {

goto start_story

} “No, take me back” {

goto story_menu

}

}

tappable
“CUSTOMIZATION BUTTON” {

INT. ------

label customization_menu

goto story_menu

}

tappable
“WARNING BUTTON” {

INT. WARNING - LANGUAGE

    NARRATOR
This story includes mature language and themes.

@pause for a beat

@pause for a beat

    NARRATOR
Are you done reading the warning?

choice “Yes” {

goto story_menu

}

}

There’s no reason to keep putting the ‘tappables’, because you’re only enabling the first one.
You can try this:

tappable
“START BUTTON” {

INT. BLUE BACKGROUND

    NARRATOR
Do you want to start this episode?

choice “Yes” {

goto start_story

} “No, take me back” {

goto story_menu

}

}
“CUSTOMIZATION BUTTON” {

INT. ------

label customization_menu

goto story_menu

}
“WARNING BUTTON” {

INT. WARNING - LANGUAGE

    NARRATOR

choice “Yes” {

goto story_menu

}

I tried that and it comes up with an error. “Unexpected block end. Did you forget the { which goes with } or forget to put the word “choice” at the start of this choice option?”

the main reasons I’ve found for tappbles not working are… the scale size was inverted, the edges overlap, or the overlays were placed too close to the edge of the screen. could any of those be whats happening with your coding?

Tappables work just like regular choices. You only need to use the word “tappable” once at the beginning to set a tappable choice. In your code above, you put the word “tappable” before each overlay. This created separate tappable choices, which is why you are unable to tap on the other overlay.

The tappable choice should be like this:

tappable
“OVERLAY1” {

} “OVERLAY2” {

}
