Start of the game

How do i edit the start of the game ? When it would normally say You were invited to a party and so on , i want to start from scratch with a message at the start of the game more or less an intro to the game story.

Re: Start of the game

If you want an example, in the original story, the message that appears at the start of the game is in Madison's event triggers, in the event trigger MadisonNewGameStarts.

I want to start the game with the player waking up in the master bedroom on the bed alone it's your house , it's going to be your party, but i want to start the game with an introduction while the player is still in bed

Well... pick one character. Then add event to him/her that is triggered on game start.
Then set as condition that it is only on new game.
Then warp player to the bed.
Then add action that will display description you want.

Yes, even for stuff not specific to some character, event triggers need to be in character files.

If you want it to seem like no characters are around, just pick any character to "exist" and warp them to the "Loading Dock" (where Vickie warps to at the start of the Original Story). There, they can act as an invisible event handler for whatever you want to do in your story.
