First Script

Writing Your First Message​

  1. Create a new script file:
    Create a new file named my_first_chapter.yarn.

  2. Create your first node:
    In this new file, write your first Yarn node:

    title: my_first_node
    ---
    Hello, I’m your first message
    -> And I’m your first button

    I can help you write stories!

  3. Save the file:
    Once your script is ready, save it.

  4. Link your new node:

    • Open the start.yarn file.
    • Link your new node by adding <<jump my_first_node>> where indicated in the comment:

Creating a Bot on Telegram​

To create a bot, follow these steps:

  1. Open Telegram and search for BotFather.
  2. Start a chat with BotFather by sending /start.
  3. Use the /newbot command to create a new bot.
  4. Follow the instructions to choose a name and username for your bot (the username must end with "bot").
  5. Once the bot is created, BotFather will provide you with a token. Save this token; you'll need it later.

Uploading Your Story​

  1. Go to t-Plot Builder.
  2. Add your new build by clicking Add build.
  3. (Optional) In the Settings tab, enter your bot’s token and username (without @ or https://t.me/). For example, if your bot’s username is @my_super_cool_bot, enter my_super_cool_bot.
  4. You can test your story by navigating to the Publish tab and clicking Run new Player.

Launching the Bot​

If you’ve entered your bot’s token and username, go to the Publish tab and click Start Bot.
