Need help with eyes on episode

[Some_Kid]

Want to a character to “Preview” no eyes and no mouth, but I don’t know the command for it.

Does anyone know the code for no eyes/no mouth? (like the ones in customization templates)

what I want it to preview:

That’s creepy

[Some_Kid]

Yeah, its for an overlay. Do you know anyone that can help?

[CrazyCaliope]

Umm… not sure. Maybe @Rose, @Caticorn, or @WolfGamerGirl37 may know where to find the info needed

[WolfGamerGirl37]

So, are you trying to make and overlay? Or Are you trying to put an overlay on the characters face?

[Some_Kid]

Out an overlay on the character’s face and make their eyes and mouth temp. Dissappear so it doesn’t look weird.

[WolfGamerGirl37]

Okay, well there is two ways to do this that I know of. One is where you make a full overlay of the character then switch it out with the overlay when that point in the story happens. The other way is that you make a secondary character that does not have those features on it. Then you can switch the characters out. I can probably help you out with those routes. I’m not sure if there is any cc template for this type of request. I could see if Dara might have a template on the epi forums if you want to go that route.

[Some_Kid]

Can you ask her? I’m ip blocked from the forums

[WolfGamerGirl37]

Oh yeah, I can do that for you!

[WolfGamerGirl37]

Okay, I sent the request in. It could be a couple of days though since she is on at different times.

[Some_Kid]

@WolfGamerGirl37 any updates?

[WolfGamerGirl37]

Not yet! I’m keeping an eye out though. I’ll see if I can ask about this on the Stupid Questions that are not stupid to ask thread. That is always a weird thread name to type.

[WolfGamerGirl37]

Okay, I haven’t got any responses back yet. Though they might just tell me the same thing I’m thinking about the possibility of this option. I’m going to keep watching the epi forums for a response back but I think you need to create a copy character with the necessary features missing in order for the scene to work. Is your character a full CC character? If not, then this is pretty easy to do since I use this method in my co-written story. You can use this as a temporary method or permanent method until I get a response from the others.

[Some_Kid]

Ok

[WolfGamerGirl37]

Sorry about this! I hoping to get a faster response than this from the epi forums. I might have to open a thread to see if anyone can help us out.

[WolfGamerGirl37]

This is a reply I got from the other forums. Let me know if it helps you out! If not, then I will still keep looking.

@Tamara.Episde

Here’s a few ways you can do it: (in no specific order)
I feel like the only way is to use flags/gains. If your friend doesn’t have CC in their story, then a secondary character would be the most effective option out of all these. However, if they do have CC, it probably won’t work because I’m not sure if “@CHARACTER changes eyes to -none-” works.

1. You can ask the reader what shade their skin is closest to (ex. light, medium, dark) at the beginning of the story/chapter, and add a flag/gain to remember their choice then create separate “no eyes” overlays to put on the character’s eye area for that scene.
   note: this one would be more difficult if your character needs to move in the scene, so its only recommended for if your character is just still in that scene.
2. You can ask the character to select their eye colour/eye shape once more after the initial CC, then use gains for each choice so that you can revert the character’s eyes back to normal after the “no eyes” scene. When coding the scene, you can use “@CHARACTER changes eyes to EyeShape” and “@CHARACTER changes eyesColor into Eyes Color”, under each if/elif/else code.
   note: this one takes some time and careful coding/testing as you want to make sure each option works.

I hope this helps!
