Adding a Simple Choice
​
To create a simple choice, you must have dialogue to start it off, either the narrator or one of your characters can say something.
​
This is how a simple 3-option choice looks like:
​
NARRATOR
What is your favorite color?
​
choice
"Blue" {
} "Green" {
} "Red" {
}
​
-
To set a choice, you have to add the word "choice".
-
Your first option will be right after the word choice, on the same line or on the very next line.
​
Example:
​
choice "Option here" {
​
or
​
choice
"Option here" {
​
Do not skip an entire line between choice and the first option (example below) or you will get an error message:
​
choice
​
"Option here" {
​
-
All option names must be inside of quotation marks.
-
To begin the option, add a starting curly bracket { immediately after on the same line.
-
To end the option, add an ending bracket } on a new and separate line.
-
The second option (and third and so on) will need to be on the same line as the last end bracket or on the very next line.
​
} "Option 2 here" {
​
or
​
}
"Option 2 here" {
​
Do not skip an entire line between the end brackert and the next option (example below) or you will get an error message:
​
}
​
"Option 2 here" {
​
-
You must always remember that every starting bracket needs to have a matching end bracket! Always close off your choices with an end bracket, otherwise you will get an error message about a missing bracket.
-
The outcome of the option will go inside of the brackets.
​
