For the past few days I’ve been having this error with my story. After my characters walk to a certain spot, no matter what way I code it, they either go idle for a few split seconds before performing the animation, or they skip the animation completely. Everything else in the story works fine except for this one scene. I’ve trying looking on other forums and using their advice but it doesn’t seem to work both on portal and in the app. Here’s my code:
line 34 and 35 are ‘does it while’ and not is. If doesn’t make a change please paste your text here

Oh my bad, that’s probably just from me mixing things with the code trying to see if something different would work. I changed both lines to ‘does it while’ and it still makes no difference.
Here’s my code:

I changed the names to my own characters and then back to yours, hope I didn’t make a mistake in that. I used this code and it worked for me:
