yes i’ve read the thread

The thread had the answer maybe I need to edit it but not too sure how I would make it more easier than it already is (I aim to simplify things as much as possible)

@Emma11

Dw, I love helping people

@Emma11

then when i want to place them to a spot they first appear close to the camera and then they go to the spot they were supposed to from the beginning of the scene(i tried using AND but it doesn’t work) and because i’ve made to a bunch of characters customs how it will work ? so they can be at the spot i want them to from the start of the scene?

If you want them to be at the start of the scene without having them enter, spot directing is your bestie:

You can also use regular placement but with spot directing you have way more options on where to place them. Other threads of interest to you: HOW TO: Enter and Exit Scenes 🧊 & HOW TO: Stage Direction

Layers: HOW TO: Move Characters / Overlays to the Layers

Example:

&BG spot 1.280 160 0 in zone 2 at layer 3 AND BG faces left AND BG is nod_loop

Use & when placing background characters. If you’re in zone 1, planning to pan to zone 2 and/or 3, first place your characters in those zones using & and then afterwards, pan to that zone so they don’t pop up. Using & with spot directing placement also avoids popping up issue. You can also have them enter in a straight line with spot directing (keep first value- height (ex.1.280) same, third value (ex. 0, floor level, up-down direction, higher numbers up, lower numbers down) same and just change second value (ex. 160) it is the left-right direction a character walks, lower numbers to the left, higher to the right.
