Character ignores @face left/right command

Hello xx,
Well the title already says it. I have this scene where my character is standing behind a bush. I want her to first face to one side and then to the other, as if she is checking out the area and then slowly moving downwards behind the bush. Then pop up again in a different spot and check out the area again.

I had no problems with the up and down movements etc. But she seems to always be skipping the face left and face right command and go straight to the “Hiding behind the bush” movement haha if that makes sense.

Here is my script:

EXT. BEHIND BUSHES - NIGHT

@AMARA changes into AMARA_agent

@AMARA stands screen right

@AMARA faces left
@AMARA faces right
@AMARA walks to spot 1.280 278 -228 in zone 1 in 4 AND AMARA does it while idle_armscrossed_shifteyes_loop

@AMARA walks to spot 1.280 81 -245 in zone 1 in 4

@AMARA walks to spot 1.280 72 -111 in zone 1 AND AMARA does it while idle_armscrossed_shifteyes_loop

@AMARA faces left
@AMARA faces right

@AMARA is think_rubchin

maybe try ‘@pause for a beat’ after you change the direction? This should work! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Do you mean in-between the faces right and faces left? I did that and it didn’t work :thinking:
