This is a very simple and easy tutorial however regardless I wanted to share because some people may not know how to do it.
Using Narrator (pattern to follow):
NARRATOR
Dialogue.
Example:
NARRATOR
Fall is my favorite weather.
What it translates into visually:
Using Narrator with a character (pattern to follow):
NARRATOR (CHARACTER)
Dialogue.
Example:
NARRATOR (FLOWERGRIEFER)
I love Halloween a lot.
What it translates into visually:
*Background from both examples come from @FlowerGriefer and the scene is starring her
Shortening NARRATOR to NARR (short cut, the pattern to follow):
NARR
Dialogue.
NARR (CHARACTER)
Dialogue.
Examples:
NARR
Fall is my favorite weather.
NARR (FLOWERGRIEFER)
I love Halloween a lot.
*Using NARR as opposed to NARRATOR is so much more simpler since it has less wording to it.
Another thing to note: You cannot have Dialogue alone, you need to have a character think/say it or have the NARRATOR/NARR say it.
So, incorrect:
@ANNIEWAYS stands screen center AND ANNIEWAYS faces right
What a nice day to race against penguins in the north pole.
You will get the error: Expected CHARACTER or SCENE change.
Instead you will need to fix it by writing NARR with or without a character’s name in ( ) on top of “What a nice day” or write the character’s name (in capitals) on top of “what a nice day” and add an animation to make your story come to life
Correct (one of the ways you can do it):
@ANNIEWAYS stands screen center AND ANNIEWAYS faces right AND ANNIEWAYS starts idle
NARR (ANNIEWAYS)
What a nice day to race against penguins in the north pole.
Using NARR to describe things and talk about events that occured is a really good idea. NARR can be used for many things! Anyways, good luck with your story xoxo
