Does anyone know why this choice isn’t working ?
Thanks
i think you need a reference name
so something like
choice( REFERENCE NAME HRE)
“OPTIONS 1”{
}
what is a reference name?
Check these threads out they talk about choice…
I know it’s simple but sometimes people do struggle with this. I’m going to use an example using two options within a choice.
Here I go, using an example talking about which band is your favorite:
NARR
So what’s your favorite band?
choice
“My Chemical Romance”{
YOU
It’s MCR.
}“Motionless in White”{
YOU
It’s MIW.
}
NARR
Cool!
To break it down =
So what you first do is include dialogue before a choice. You need to have a character think/say something or have the narrator speak before…

Hi everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about how you can have choices that matter integrated into your story - but without using ridiculously long and complicated branching! There’s lots of way to add choices in Episode stories, and often, stories that go the extra mile will have choices that matter - meaning that they’ll have choices for which selecting one option will alter the plot in someway, and will have different …

FIRST AND FOREMOST, to remember choices, you will need to use the if/elif/else code, which looks like this:
if (label1) {
} elif (label2) {
} else {
}
if is always first, elif is always in the middle, and else should always be the last one by itself
if you have 2 options, you only need to use if and else
if (label) {
} else {
}
if you have 3 options, use if then elif then else
if (label1) {
} elif (lab…

Hi everyone! Me again today I’m going to go through some of the more advanced features of the Script Writer, and hopefully explain them clearly. Before reading on, I advise that you familiarise yourself with the advanced directing guide before hand, and you should at least have a knowledge of basic choices.
Labels and gotos
Before I talk about if/else systems, you need to be familiar with how to use labels and g…

I think you don’t need the square brackets
Sorry to be a pain but I don’t think that’s working now it’s saying there’s a problem with the elif line
You need to put “Good riddance to him” { next to the “}” on top.
So it would be like this
} “Good riddance to him” {
}

Personally I’d do a different method…Like just write the piece of your story in the choice…It’s much easier
choice (DANIEL) “I wish I had” {
put the dialogue here instead of the if/else/elif
} “Good riddance to him” {
put dialogue here instead of if/else/elif
}

Go in between of the "wish I had " and the bracket before “good riddance to him”
You just put there the piece of story for that choice. Same thing for the other one
Aaaaa another problem:
Now it’s calling the character Daniel : I wish I had
Whyyyyyyy!!!

oh can I chime in.
I had this same problem too.
Only “else” response would work.
So yeah, when you find the answer.
I’ll be bookmarking this lol.

Try to take (DANIEL) away
Thanks very much everyone but I think it was just an annoying glitch as it’s all fixed now,
Thanks so much for your input though
Could it be that you haven’t changed which of the conditions your story has? Try clicking on the “story modifiers” on the right hand side of the preview screen and then “flags” if you’ve used gains. Choose the gain you want to check

I found the the problem. I had the name the
Outfit_1 in the dressing game but not the if/elif/else statement.
But thank you though, I’ll bookmark this incase I ever use gains
