How to change the page_break button text on a page with only one choice?

Game Development ChoiceScript Help

Hi all, I’m aware in general of how to change the “next” page button text, but I’m having some trouble doing it on a page with only one choice to proceed. Here’s what I have:

*fake_choice
#“There must be another way.”
*page_break way…

“There is no other way,” the voice insists. “If you stay your hand now, Tapyt will be able to—”

*fake_choice
#“To what?”
*page_break wake up…

The choice seems to interfere with the page_break command; I’ve tried all manner of indenting it but can’t seem to get the page_break to be read for some reason. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you!

TL;DR, you can’t :[

Using a *choice command will automatically set up “Next” as the Page Break button, no matter the number of the options, no matter whether you use *page_break before or after the *choice.

Maybe you want to go the 'ol way like

*fake_choice
   #To what?

Wake up

Ahhh, bummer! Thank you for clarifying!

Perhaps it’s for the best, tho.
The option to set up things like that can be… rather complicating.

Imagine

*fake_choice
   #To what?
   #I don't care
   #Huh?

*page_break wake up

:point_up_2:t4: that can be a 'lil jarring.

Hold up.
Wouldn’t

*choice
   #There must be another way...
      ...another way...
      *page_break ...way...
      *goto waaaay

Work?
I remember pulling something like that, though atm i cant check my code.

That would result in the player picking the #There must be another way... option and clicking “NEXT” button to proceed.

While I believe @rinari want to go something like this :point_down:t4:

Yes, that’s what I wanted to do! I took your suggestion though @Szaal and turned it into regular text!
