Timed choice help

I need help making a timed choice.
My character is hiding from a killer as he gets closer to her. She has a timed choice to either stay calm or freak out.
But you see, I want to do it 3 times.
Stay calm or freak out, you have 4 seconds.
Then Freak out or stay calm, you have 3 seconds.
And one last time, Stay calm or freak out., you have 3 seconds
Each time she chooses to stay calm she gets the chance to either stay calm or freak out again. (a choice within a choice)
But if she freaks out, the killer finds her.
I need help setting this up because when I try to do it I get an error message: UNEXPECTED CHOICE PARAMS: timed 3

Help, please. This is what I have so far,
choice [timed:4]
“Stay calm” {
@zoom on 149 164 to 397% in 0 AND HAZEL is idle_terrified_loop

choice [timed:3]
“Stay calm” {
@zoom on 143 169 to 489% in 0 AND HAZEL is idle_terrified_loop

choice [timed:4]
“Stay calm” {
@zoom on 146 174 to 536% in 0 AND HAZEL is idle_terrified_loop

}
“Freak out” {
@HAZEL is react_scream_horror

}

}
“Freak out” {
@HAZEL is react_scream_horror

}

}
“Freak out” {
@HAZEL is react_scream_horror

}

THANK YOU!

You have to have dialog before a choice, and also you have to put a space, like this [timed: 4]. Try this script and tell me if it works.

Script

label choice
NARRATOR
What should I do?
choice [timed: 4]
“Stay calm” {
@zoom on 149 164 to 397% in 0 AND HAZEL is idle_terrified_loop
}
“Freak out” {
@HAZEL is react_scream_horror
NARRATOR
You’ve been found.
goto choice
}
NARRATOR
What now?
choice [timed: 3]
“Freak out” {
@HAZEL is react_scream_horror
NARRATOR
You’ve been found.
goto choice
}
“Stay calm” {
@zoom on 143 169 to 489% in 0 AND HAZEL is idle_terrified_loop
}
NARRATOR
Now what?
choice [timed: 4]
“Stay calm” {
@zoom on 146 174 to 536% in 0 AND HAZEL is idle_terrified_loop
}
“Freak out” {
@HAZEL is react_scream_horror
NARRATOR

Moved to Directing Helps and Tips since this involves coding. Make sure to check out our Forum Tutorial for more info about where to correctly create topics, and feel to PM me if there are any questions. :wink:

Thank you! That helped!
