The scene editor
Draft. This page is awaiting review and may change.
The scene editor is where a scene's actions live. It has a preview on top and the list of actions below.
The preview
The preview shows the scene as it would look at the action you selected: the background, the characters on stage, the text box and any choices. A new scene shows Welcome: Here you will preview your scene as you create it.
Tap an action to move the preview to it. If you turned on Autoplay BGM during scene editing in Settings, the music for that point plays too.
Add an action
- Tap +. A drawer lists the action types, on two swipeable pages.
- Pick one, fill it in, and tap ADD ACTION.
New actions are added after the action currently selected, so you can insert in the middle of a scene. If you leave a half-filled action, the app asks Are you sure you want to leave without adding this action?.
See the actions overview for the list.
Work with an action
Each action has an options menu:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Edit | Change the action's settings |
| Conditions | Only play it when the story's variables allow. See Conditions |
| Move to | Move it into or out of a folder |
| Delete | Remove it, after you confirm |
Drag an action to reorder it.
Select several actions
Tap the round icon at the left of an action to select it, then tap more. The header shows how many are selected and the toolbar offers:
- Cut and Copy, then Paste (in this scene or another) where you want them. After a cut, the originals are removed once you paste.
- Conditions for all of them at once.
- Delete for all of them, after you confirm.
Copies made with Copy are independent of the originals. Everything here can be undone; see Undo and redo.
Preview from a point
Preview on the scene plays the scene from the start. See Previewing and testing.
