How are the MC Crucial Element and the IC Crucial Element determined? (look at the “Build Characters” screen in the Dramatica Pro software for them)

Please help …

For storyforms with MC Resolve Changed:

  • A Main Character Resolve of Changed & a Story Outcome of Success finds the Main Character’s Crucial Element in the same place as the Main Character Problem
  • A Main Character Resolve of Changed & a Story Outcome of Failure finds the Main Character’s Crucial Element in the same place as the Main Character Solution

For storyforms with MC Resolve Steadfast:

  • A Main Character Resolve of Steadfast & a Main Character Growth of Stop finds the Main Character Crucial Element in the same place as the Main Character Symptom
  • A Main Character Resolve of Steadfast & a Main Character Growth of Start finds the Main Character Crucial Element in the same place as the Main Character Response
