Player Identity

[character-choice:<choice>] Determines the player’s body choices in the Hallway scene.

• male--- Chooses the male voice, body, and pronouns.
• female--- Chooses the female voice, body, and pronouns.
• pet--- Chooses the female voice, body, and pronouns, but with a penis.

Player Downtime

[continue] / [continue:<seconds>] A ‘wait’ choice that is usually used represents no pause.

Waits for then selects the [continue] choice. Default is 0 seconds. This is sometimes used in the middle of a long section of dialog to break up the text when testing in the editor. It is also used to ‘scope’ choices. For example, the [yes] and [no] choices will be tracked and detected before the character has finished speaking. If there is a lot of dialog, then the player might accidentally trigger [yes] or [no] earlier than desired. By using a [continue] choice, the [yes] and [no] are scoped down to just the lines after the [continue] choice.

[distracted] / [pay-attention] These two choices are driven by the Focused Character’s head and whether or not it is inside an area around the center of the player’s field of view.

A 1-second timer determines if they are ‘distracted’. (Looking away from the Focused Character for more than 1 second or ‘paying attention’ looking at the Focused Character for more than 1 second).

• [distracted] - If this choice is available, it is triggered by the player looking away from the Focused Character for more than 1 second.
• [pay-attention] - If this choice is available, it is triggered by the player looking at the Focused Character for more than 1 second. This is usually used after the player has triggered the [distracted] choice to see when they look back.

[timeout] / [timeout:<seconds>] A ‘wait’ choice that is used as a way to tell when the player is indecisive. Waits for then selects the [timeout] choice. Default is 7 seconds.

[wait] / [wait:<seconds>] A ‘wait’ choice that usually represents a short pause or used for explicit timing. Waits for then selects the [wait] choice. Default is 1 second. If used as the only choice, this acts exactly the same as using the /wait command.

Player Actions

[hold] / [roll] These two are used in Nega’s dice game.

• [hold] is selected when the player grabs the dice from Nega by pulling the trigger/pressing the mouse button.
• [roll] is selected when the player releases the dice to roll them by releasing the trigger or mouse button.

[move] / [move:<location>] / [move:<location> (<status>)] Triggered when the player moves to a location.

The choice itself also determines if the move location is visible. All move locations are hidden until a [move] is available. If is specified, then only those locations matching the name are visible. When a player move to those locations, it selects the associated [move] choice.The portion allows the move location to show it’s current status. If the [move] choice isn’t there at all, then it is invisible and disabled.

• unlocked--- Available for the player to use it. (default)
• under_construction--- Currently unavailable with a lock on it and an ‘under construction’ tag.
• early_access--- Shows with the ‘early access’ tag. Available if the early access code has been entered or will ask for the code if it hasn’t been entered yet.

[react-success] / [react-fail] This is used for testing the player for a ‘sudden jerk’ such as testing it the player is reacting appropriately to being slapped or spanked.

• [react-success] is chosen when the player reacts in time.
• [react-fail] is chosen when the player fails to react in time. (Like a very short [timeout].)

[yes] / [no] These two choices are the default yes/no options for the player.

• [yes] responds to the player’s head nod (up and down)
• [no] responds to the player’s head shake (left and right)
