What happens after the reader makes a choice?

Hello, I need some help again. :sweat_smile: Since I can’t show an Image of my script I just typed it myself: INT. BLACK - NIGHT

@AUNT KAYSA enters from right to screen right

@LEORA enters from left to screen left

    NARRATOR (ARI NICHELLE)
Meet Leora and her Aunt Kaysa.

@LEORA is talk_greet_shy
LEORA
Hi…

@AUNT KAYSA is talk_greet_neutral
AUNT KAYSA
Hello.

    NARRATOR (ARI NICHELLE)
Okay, want to start from a flashback from Leora's memory or Her Aunt Kaysa?

choice
“LEORA”{
@LEORA is talk_explain_neutral
LEORA
Alright, I was living in a…
@transition fade out red 1.5

@transition fade out red 1.5

}
“AUNT KAYSA”{
@AUNT KAYSA is think_rubchin
AUNT KAYSA
Oh, well, when I found out that…
@transition fade out white 1.5

}

After the reader makes their choice, and the character starts telling them about their flashback, how do I get their flashback in the script? Their flashbacks are different but I don’t understand how to show them their flashbacks, and thank you again for you’re helpful advice!

@Epi.Ari.Nichelle You can use labels for that.

choice
“LEORA”{
@LEORA is talk_explain_neutral
LEORA
Alright, I was living in a…
@transition fade out red 1.5

@transition fade out red 1.5

goto label flashback 1

}
“AUNT KAYSA”{
@AUNT KAYSA is think_rubchin
AUNT KAYSA
Oh, well, when I found out that…
@transition fade out white 1.5

goto label flashback 2

}

label flashback 1

Blah blah blah

label flashback 2

Blah blah blah

Just remember that:

Just be careful when naming a label :yay: More info here: 🖤 HOW TO: Labels and Gotos 🖤

label flashback_1

#Blah blah blah, whole flashback here of Leora

goto merge_to_main

label flashback_2

#Blah blah blah, whole flashback here of Aunt Kaysa

goto merge_to_main

label merge_to_main

#back to main story-line

You’ll need to add a goto at the end of the first flashback that leads to a label to merge back to the main storyline (they share the same name) otherwise if you select to play flashback 1, flashback 2 will play as well.

The 2nd goto merge_to_main under the scene for the 2nd flashback is not necessary as once the second flashback is over it’ll play past label merge_to_main (I like having it there though).

Uh😅… Sorry again, but I’m having errors in my script, how do I use the go-to and label? I guess I’m not writing it in my script correctly, and thank you!

How do you have it written in your script? :thinking:

Anyway, @JemU776 explains how to use them on this thread. :slightly_smiling_face:

If you’re still struggling, can you post a screenshot of your script so we can see the error? :heart:
