Optional

Fixed is one of the main tags needed to make a working game. It designates a psd folder as a separate category that will show up in the game menu. Optional is a type of category that makes it so that the player can select one item in the category and also unselect it, so that nothing in the category is selected.

It is most commonly seen used for categories such as hair, shoes, etc. Where it is expected that the player can pick only one item due to layering issues.

Usage

The tag [optional] in a psd file is to be applied on a folder. It will not work if applied to a layer. Folders that have [optional] on them also need a layer with the tag [icon] inside them to work. The tag [optional] will make it so that one or no items can be selected. If all layers were set as invisible, they will appear as unselected in the game, if a layer was set as visible it will appear as selected in the game once it is started. The player will have to manually unselect the items in every mixed and optional folder that were set to visible, please do not do this to them, please set all items to invisible in your psd when you decide to upload the final version of the game.

The tag also functions if you use the short version [O].
