Character faces forward after walking rear- HEELLPPP

Dude, my character doesn’t know what ‘rear’ means :rage:, lol
I’ve read some other threads about this issue and how to fix it, but it just doesn’t work for me.
My character is starting the scene with her back turned. She then "walks"slides out and later walks back in.
She’s supposed to have her back turned for the entire scene to have her identity hidden from readers.
.

Here’s the part I need help with

&zoom on 285 297 to 151% in 2
&overlay OPEN DOOR-WALLS opacity 1 in 0.5
&MSWHEAT walks to spot 1.484 249 -105 in 3 AND MSWHEAT is rear
@pause for a beat
&MSWHEAT is rear
@pause for a beat
        MSWHEAT (talk_handsonhips_neutral_rear)
    It's nice to see everybody.
@pause for a beat
&MSWHEAT is rear

Even without the beat pauses it’s still the same. I’ve tried almost everything.
Can anyone help? Thanks! :sob: :sob: :sob:

Walk_neutral_loop_rear instead?

You need to use “does it while” when making characters walk while doing an animation.

Also, you are not giving your character enough time to finish their walking command. Your character is walking in 3 seconds, but you’re only pausing for 1 second before making them do another command. You need to give them time to complete the walking command.

Remove the pauses and just change the & to the @ sign for the walking command.

I changed the pauses, but she’s still facing forward (I also want her to slide in simultaneously with the zoom and overlay change)
This is the new code

&zoom on 285 297 to 151% in 2
&overlay OPEN DOOR-WALLS opacity 1 in 0.5
&MSWHEAT walks to spot 1.484 249 -105 in 3 AND MSWHEAT is rear
@pause for 3

        MSWHEAT (talk_handsonhips_neutral_rear)
    It's nice to see everybody.
&MSWHEAT is rear
@pause for a beat

Don’t use pauses. There’s no need for it. Just use the @ sign. You need to use “does it while”

I don’t understand why you are using pauses for every command?

This part should be like this:

@ MSWHEAT walks to spot 1.484 249 -105 in 3 AND MSWHEAT does it while rear

And this part should be like this

@ MSWHEAT is rear
