@CHARACTER becomes command

[EpisodePistachio]

So I’m trying to do a flash scene shortcut, where I just do @CHARACTER becomes CHARACTER , but from the first command when they change, I want to change them back, but it sticks as the same character they changed into. Is this normal or can it be fixed? I can just do a scene change if it won’t work.

@/OCTAVIA becomes SMOL BOY
&overlay 4944351928582144_RESPIRATOR BIG shifts to 184 366 in zone 1
&overlay 4944351928582144_RESPIRATOR BIG scales to 0.182 0.182
&overlay 4944351928582144_RESPIRATOR BIG moves to layer 4
&OCTAVIA is idle_exhausted_loop
@pause for 0.5

@/OCTAVIA becomes OCTAVIA
&overlay 4944351928582144_RESPIRATOR BIG shifts to 181 379 in zone 1
&overlay 4944351928582144_RESPIRATOR BIG scales to 0.182 0.182
&overlay 4944351928582144_RESPIRATOR BIG moves to layer 4
&OCTAVIA is idle_exhausted_loop

If this is a flashback, you need to make a duplicate character and do:

@DUPLICATE becomes CHARACTER
@DUPLICATE changes hair into Hair

And then you can have your character untouched

[EpisodePistachio]

Okay, thanks! But is there a way to change that duplicate character into someone else mid scene? So it’s like they’re shapeshifting in a way I suppose. Because when I tried it, they originally changed character, but then didn’t respond to any other commands after that and were stuck as that one character.

Are they customised characters? If not, just use a new character and swap them out

[EpisodePistachio]

Yeah I’ll probably just do that, like a quick scene change, it sounds simpler. I was just wondering if the become command would work here but I cba with it anymore

If you’re just changing the character, you don’t need a scene change
