Charcater walking problems

Hey so i’m a new writer and i have a slight problem with my storycoding. I have multiple characters walking and they are covering one another if that makes sense. Like they aren’t walking in a line. Any tips to fix this?

Script below:

INT. BLUE SCHOOL HALLWAY LOCKERS - DAY

@pan to zone 1

@AMBER moves to layer 1 (walk_neutral_loop)
AMBER
Did you bring your perfume? I left mine in the car.

@AUDREY moves to layer 2 (walk_neutral_loop)
AUDREY
Yea I got it-

    AVA (walk_neutral)
Oh my!

@pan to zone 3

    PENELOPE (think_rubchin)
So this is the school

@cut to zone 1

@zoom on AUDREY to 200% in 0

    AUDREY (react_shocked_gasp)
Who is that!

@zoom reset

@pan to zone 3

    PENELOPE (idle_happy_loop)
Time for a fresh start i guess

You could do
@CHARACTER walks to spot xyz in 0.5
@CHARACTER walks to spot xyz in 1.5
@CHARACTER walks to spot xyz in 2.5
Or were you not doing spot directing?

Sorry if this doesn’t work how you want, I didn’t test it out on my laptop

Thanks I’ll try it!!! The xyz is like “moves to spot 1”?

No like…
@CHARACTER walks to spot 1.319 247 182 in 0.5

Not the real position, don’t put this in your script!

Here! Try this instead

&pan to zone 1 in 2.1
@AMBER walks to spot ##### in 2.1 AND AMBER does it while walk_neutral_loop AND AMBER moves to layer 1

ok ok thanks!!

The “####” featured above is where you put the coordinates.
Example: 1.22 150 50

Thanks!

So to be clear, you want one walking in behind the other, and then she turns to her and asks her if she has perfume?

Wait, I don’t really understand what you out above, when the two girls stop to talk about the perfume, do the others keep going, or are they all together so they all stop?

It would be cool if they could all keep walking.
