Unexpected sequence problem

Unexpected sequence: You cannot use a direct command (starting with @) here.
@RONNI stands screen center
@transition fade in black in 1
NARR
Are you sure?
choice
“Yes. I want to play as a girl.”{
gain GIRL
}“No. I change my mind.”{
@transition fade out black in 1
@remove RONNI
goto mc_gender
}
}

I followed someone’s tutorial but somehow I did something wrong but I don’t know what…And nobody is really helping.

Can you show the entire portion of your script?!

label mc_gender

    NARR
Do you want to play as a girl or boy?

choice
“I want to play as |bold| a boy”{

@ROWNIN stands screen center
@transition fade in black in 1
NARR
Are you sure?
choice
“Yes. I want to play as a boy.”{
gain BOY
}“No. I change my mind.”{
@transition fade out black in 1
@remove ROWNIN
goto mc_gender
}

}“I want to play as |bold| a girl.”

@RONNI stands upscreen right
@transition fade in black in 1
NARR
Are you sure?
choice
“Yes. I want to play as a girl.”{
gain GIRL
}“No. I change my mind.”{
@transition fade out black in 1
@remove RONNI
goto mc_gender
}

}“I want to play as |bold| a boy.”

if (BOY) {

@ROWNIN stands upscreen center
ROWNIN (talk_flex_happy)
Hey! You playing as me.
} elif (GIRL) {

@RONNI stands upscreen center
RONNI (talk_flirt_smile_subtle)
Hey! You playing as me.

}

You forgot a opening bracket here. (I bolded it).

Add another closing bracket (bolded it) remove the option below that (I crossed it out).

If you are remembering two choices, better to do if and else rather than if and elif (if is used for first, elif for all in between, and else for last).

Just to add to what Jem said, upscreen center doesn’t exist; it’s screen center!

Nice catch @Juliett , I didn’t even notice :joy: :heart:

OP, here’s a list:

The positions :heart:

How do I bold it?

what do you mean?

Are you talking about this part:

You don’t bold anything in your script. you just add it or remove it. When I bolded it, it was just to demonstrate where you should add something. Crossed out means to remove the line. They are just ways of showing where I made changes, on the forums. They wouldn’t register over to your script on writer’s portal.
