Character disappearing

[Ardenmelody]

So I want separate characters to be in different zones on a background but for some reason TYLER and LEO aren’t popping up on my screen in zone 3. OLIVIA and ATHENA are where they are supposed to be.

My coding:

@OLIVIA is talk_handsonhips_neutral_loop
&ATHENA is talk_awkward_loop AND ATHENA faces left
&TYLER stands screen center in zone 3 AND TYLER faces right AND TYLER is talk_armscrossed_neutral_loop
&LEO stands screen right in zone 3 AND LEO faces left AND LEO is talk_smile_happy_loop
@pan to zone 3 in 2
@zoom on TYLER to 200% in 1
@add Cup Plastic Red to TYLER

when you use ampersands, it needs to comes first before the @ in order for it to work properly. double ampersands do not work.

&OLIVIA is talk_handsonhips_neutral_loop
@ATHENA is talk_awkward_loop AND ATHENA faces left
&TYLER stands screen center in zone 3 AND TYLER faces right AND TYLER is talk_armscrossed_neutral_loop
@LEO stands screen right in zone 3 AND LEO faces left AND LEO is talk_smile_happy_loop
@pan to zone 3 in 2
@zoom on TYLER to 200% in 1
@add Cup Plastic Red to TYLER

I think it’s becuase you are not supposed to capitalize AND in between.

Try @TYLER stands screen center in zone 3 and @LEO stands screen right in zone 3
You can also do spot directing on it if you want.

Thank you so much, I didn’t know this!
