Just a tip: To make it more natural, if the love intrests have the same amount of points, you can ask the player which one they hope it is. And then you choose based on that. Just a personal prefrence, but you can of course do it any way you would like :)
Great tutorial, as always☺️. You can actually make it work for three love interests, but it's pretty much hell to code, because you need to use a ton of labels, gains.. etc. Takes great time and your code looks like a real mess, but it's possible. Anyway, let's just hope the Episode team works on a better solución😁
I actually figured out how to make it work with 3+ characters with labels. It's complicated and I haven't fully tested it, but it worked. Because I also tried Dara Amarie's solution forever and I couldn't get that to work either =D
This is how you choose from three love interests with the point system: if (A>B) { goto AB }elif (B>A){ goto BA } label AB if (A>C){ Choice A stuff }elif (C>A){ Choice C stuff } label BA if (B>C){ Choice B stuff }elif (C>B){ Choice C stuff } Edit: I just tested this now so I haven't worked out the kinks of what to do if there are ties, but that shouldn't be too hard to resolve, just add an else category.
ATTENTION!! The link in the description works for lots of love interests, you just have to make sure you do the brackets right like if there was 4 interests have }}} }elif It’s what messes most people up!!
So I figured if you want more than 2 love interests, the best way would probably have certain choices locked if you don't have enough points. So say, your character wants to ask another character to dance, well let them choose, but if they do not have enough points, that person's name will be locked. Or let it be unlocked and have the person they choose reject them if they do not have enough points.
I've been working on my episode story for a while and your tutorials are a lifesaver! Question, would my readers be mad if I don't have a love interest in the story because I'm not very interested in a romantic subplot.
No, not all of them but only a few of them will be, you can just make your story dramatic and have a little bit of comedy and you should be fine, dont forget to add lots of choices... It somewhat makes the reader feel like they have a really important role in the story
I don’t know who the author of cursed evil love is. But in her story she uses points for 3 love interests. Maybe someone should try to contact her and ask her how.
Coils you maybe make a video about sound effects? (In Limelight) I typed sound gunshot into my script (gunshot turns green) but when I click on Save and preview it says: Error: play WebAudio failed TypeError etc. I really need help pls!
Can you please do a tutorial on how to make the camera follow the character ONLY in 1 scene & not 2&3 please Bc I’m making my character walking idle_rear and I want the camera to follow her only in that scene ( if that makes sense )
I’m confused. When you say scene do you mean backgrounds or zones? Also the camera will never follow a character into another zone unless you put in the pan/cut command.
Try @follow CHARACTER to screen BLANK in zone BLANK and see if adding "and CHARACTER starts (WALKING ANIMATION)" to the end of that command so she can do the animation while walking also
What if I want to add points for things that aren’t character related? Like for example vegetarian vs omnivore (idk why my brain came up with that example) how would we show points for that? Would we have to make characters called “vegetarian” and “omnivore” but just have them never show up and only use them for points ?
In the following episodes these points are taken into account? Thank you very much for the tutorial, it's wonderful and super easy, like all the ones you do!
How do you make bruises on the episode character? because i have seen quite a few people with cuts and bruises. But anyway These tutorials are really helpful
I'm working on the point system in 2 of mine, one is pre much an alternate universe type thing between the original that's in INK and LL, INK there's no point system in place since it is my very first episode story I started that's being revamped.. The LL version is more or less the same with differences which include the point system which is taking forever for me to write lol...
okay so this could be wrong but I got a simple 3 love interest points system to work with this: if (JAKE>SAM){ if (JAKE>ALEX){ @JAKE enters from right to screen right } elif (ALEX>JAKE){ @ALEX enters from right to screen right } } elif (SAM>ALEX){ if (SAM>JAKE){ @SAM enters from right to screen right } elif (JAKE>SAM){ @JAKE enters from right to screen right } } elif (ALEX>JAKE){ if (ALEX>SAM){ @SAM enters from right to screen right } elif (SAM>ALEX){ @SAM enters from right to screen right } } else { @OLIVIA exits left } Where Olivia is the mc and Jake, Sam and Alex are the love interests. This might not work if the points system gets more complicated tho.

400 lines is the amount you need to publish an episode, but a lot of people consider that short. An average would be from 1000-1500 lines of code and dialogue. I assume stories, like Wrapped in Lies and Framed, are from 1500-2000 lines but it really just depends on what you are comfortable with. It's your story as long as you're proud of it, it should be good.
How do u make the character do an action after speech like my character walks in have a conversation then how do I make him walk to that person after that
Hey. I have a doubt on episode (not related to this video). The female character is bigger than the male character. How can I change that? Can you help me ?It's super urgent.
This is a really helpful tutorial! And I know I asked this literally yesterday but how do I get the reader to choose their love interest without using the points system? It’s just that there are 5 possible love interests in my story so it’s impossible to use the points system for. Thank you for this tutorial though, I’ll delete 3 of the love interests and use this method if all else fails lol
You can just create a choice for the reader to make. for example: choice "LI1"{ gain LI1_path }"LI2"{ gain LI2_path }"LI3"{ gain LI3_path }"LI3"{ gain LI4_path }"LI1"{ gain LI5_path }
Chez Bee I’ve actually figured it out now. I should’ve updated this comment 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you anyway though. You seem quite Episode-savvy so maybe you could help me out with a new question I have? 😂❤️
Chez Bee Ok so I’ve made 2 separate branches. One for one love interest, and another for the second. However, when i preview the chapter and click on the first choice “I like girls” it takes me through that branch and then goes into the second branch “I like boys”. And I’m also getting an error that says “Expected dialogue: Found “I like boys” instead.” What should I do? All the brackets are in the right places (I think) so I’m wondering what I’ve done wrong...
Sophie Hurren I’ll assume you haven’t done this yet: Create a label at end of your chapter, where you’d like the girl branch to end, call it end_chapter. Before the end bracket for the girl line, enter “go to end_chapter” that should fix your problem :)
Awesome! and can you please make a video on how to exit ? because I put my character in a spot like for example: @MR JOHNSON spot 0.957 57 134 AND MR JOHNSON faces right. But when I put "@MR JOHNSON exits left he exits but he gets bigger when he exits
That's normal if the character is placed in a spot. You'll have to write "@MR JOHNSON walks to 0.957 [insert spot]" just make sure the scale is the same so Mr. Johnson won't get bigger.
mysha khan um...why would he get annoyed with his OWN intro? And if you’re not happy with it, well, it’s your loss. Also, the intro is usually for new people who have never seen his videos before, so they know what stories he has made.
@@ixixix-kr8pw it's coz it's a really long intro and a mouthful and he says it the same way in every single video and I understand that it's for new people but maybe change it up so it doesn't get so boring but that's my opinion
