Time Choice issue

hai again, I’ve been having this issue with timed choices. No matter what I do, it always says ERROR: Unexpected choiceparams

Could anyone fix my script please?

Script

choice [timed:center:5]
“I’m fine. Thank you.” {

readerMessage Micah will remember this…

    NURA (talk_sit_sheepish)
I feel fine. Thank you, uh...

@pause for 1.6

    NURA (talk_sit_shrug)

stranger?

choice [timed:center:5]
}“Say nothing” {

readerMessage Micah will remember this…

@NURA starts talk_sit_sheepish
}

I haven’t done coding in a while, so forgive me if I get something wrong, but I noticed two things.

  1. You have two choice codings, when you only need one.

Like this:
Choice
“Choice 1” {
Dialogue
} “Choice 2” {
Dialogue
}

  1. Is the word “center” supposed to be there? I’ve never used that in timed choice coding. I usually just do:

Choice [timed:#]

Anyways, try either or both of those and see if it works!!

@Jasmine_X_Episode

I tested it and it works for me…… the problems must be elswhere

Do you have above the choice some text (narrator or character speaking?)

I dont have a narrator speaking about the choice, but I’m gonna try and see if that works-

Oh than this might be the problem because above every choice must be dialogue

Like

NARR
What do I want to do?
