As for the golden button then just add before the start the episode
i don’t get it?
thank youu but idk how to write the rest
Do you mean with tappable overlays or with the choices code?

I didn’t know which place to reply to but it seems like you have a lot of errors. Don’t try to do too much advanced stuff if you’re just starting.

For a locked choice just put < LOCKED > in front of your choice like this. (But no spaces between the arrows, it just won’t let me write with no spaces.)
< LOCKED > “See what she’s doing” {
}
Like that.
just choices!
i haven’t written in a long time so i forgot how to do advanced choices

it says unexpected character
Let me try to code it in my story. I wrote that just on here so I might’ve made a mistake somewhere

ty! it works! but is there a way for the button to be locked or should i just keep it as the narrator saying its locked and bringing u back to the main menu
the main menu pops up now, ty! but i want it to appear after “The Alibi” is being written on the envelope but
- the main menu pops up as soon as i view that scene, it doesn’t let the overlay happen first
- the overlay can’t be moved
i tried creating a new background with the final picture and placing the main menu code after it, but it still doesn’t work

Try this.
INT.GOLD - DAY
&overlay 1T create
&overlay 2THE create
&overlay 3THE A create
&overlay 4THE ALIBI create
&overlay 1T moves to layer 1
&overlay 2THE moves to layer 1
&overlay 3THE A moves to layer 1
&overlay 4THE ALIBI moves to layer 1
&overlay 1T opacity 1 in 0.1 THEN overlay 4THE ALIBI opacity 0 in 0 THEN overlay 2THE opacity 1 in 0.1 THEN overlay 1T opacity 0 in 0 THEN overlay 3THE A opacity 1 in 0.1 THEN overlay 2THE opacity 0 in 0 THEN overlay 4THE ALIBI opacity 1 in 0.1 THEN overlay 3THE A opacity 0 in 0

This is the background i used. I named it INT.GOLD - DAY
DONT FORGET!!:
Don’t forget to change the 4th overlay name to whatever you renamed it otherwise you’ll get an error. Also don’t forget to add the LOCKED in front of the two locked choices and same with the premium choice. Just like I showed you in a previous code that didn’t work.
Don’t copy this code in the picture, that didn’t work. But that’s what I mean with the locked and premium choices.:

Try @Dara.Amarie 's website, she very likely has a tutorial on how to do this stuff. Sorry @Dara.Amarie if you don’t like to be tagged, feel free to let me know.
