Can someone please help me with fading in the scene and characters already being there?

For some reason after I do the fade in transition, it always places the characters AFTER it fades in so they look like they’re just appearing out of nowhere.

Here’s my script:

INT._LOCKERSCLOSED

@transition fade in black

@ EVELYN stands screen left in zone 3 AND EVELYN faces right

@ NOVA stands screen center in zone 3
@ NOVA moves to layer 1

@ LOLA spot 0.656 154 266 in zone 1
@ LOLA moves to layer 1

@ RUBY spot 0.619 221 272 in zone 1
@ RUBY moves to layer 2

@ RUBY faces left
@ LOLA faces right

@ EVELYN stands screen left in zone 3 AND EVELYN faces right
@ NOVA stands screen center in zone 3
@ NOVA moves to layer 1

Also, the spaces in between the names and the @ aren’t there in the script. I just did that so I didn’t tag random people. <33

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks! :kissing_closed_eyes:

Put the character commands before the @transition fade in in time but instead of using @ use & (only for the char commands).

I would just replace all of the @'s with &'s. Except for the transition @

Spot character commands goes before transition. Looks a bit like this if I’m the coder:

Show your code again if it’s still not working after you change what everyone suggested.
