Jump

Jump lets a story leave the current scene on purpose.

Use Insert > Dialogue & Logic > Jump to Scene when a branch should move to another scene, another chapter's scene, or a specific node inside a scene.

Properties

Inherited/common properties

Field	What it does
Name	Optional label used in the editor and Story Map. Leave it empty to use VNC's automatic node name.
Destination	Target chapter, scene, and optional node where playback should move.

Runtime Behavior

When the node runs, VNC moves playback to the target scene. If you choose a target node, playback starts there. If you only choose a scene, playback starts at that scene's start node.

If the target scene is missing, the session ends with an error state. Properties and Output should catch missing jump targets before you get that far.

Example Setup

Field	Example value
Destination chapter	Choose the destination chapter.
Destination scene	Choose a scene in that chapter.
Destination node	Leave empty to start at the scene start node, or choose a specific node for a targeted test jump.

Good Uses

Use	Why it helps
Route transition	Send a branch to a dedicated route scene.
Shared ending	Let several choices converge on one ending scene.
Chapter bridge	Move from the last scene of a chapter into a specific next scene.
Test entry	Temporarily jump into a late scene while building.

Prefer scenes over long jumps inside one scene

Jumping between scenes keeps large stories readable. If you need many jumps inside one scene, the scene may be doing too much.

Jump nodes are powerful because they make big route structure explicit. Use clear scene names so the destination is easy to recognize later.
