Confusing script error?

Creator's Corner Directing Help & Tips

Ok. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but it keeps saying that this is a script error.

INT. HIGH SCHOOL DANCE - NIGHT with CRUSH_MR_BADBOY_PUNCH_TABLE in zone 1 at layer 1
@CAROLINE 2 stands screen right in zone 1 at layer 0 AND CAROLINE 2 faces right AND CAROLINE 2 is drink
@pause for 1000000000000000000000000000000000

I think it maybe the pause has too many zeros or that there should be no space between “2” and “caroline”

3

I’ll try it. But Caroline has a 2 in her name because she’s a clone, so it’s needed.

4

Nope. Still didn’t work.

dang then I’m not sure, it looked fine to me :woman_shrugging:

INT. HIGH SCHOOL DANCE - NIGHT with CRUSH_MR_BADBOY_PUNCH_TABLE in zone 1 at layer 1

@CAROLINE 2 stands screen right in zone 1 at layer 0 AND CAROLINE 2 faces right AND CAROLINE 2 is drink

@pause for a beat

It still won’t work. But the Script error pointed out this line as the problem:

@CAROLINE 2 stands screen right in zone 1 at layer 0 AND CAROLINE 2 faces right AND CAROLINE 2 is drink

8

the drink animation needs to changed.

9

or look at the error button and tell me what it says.

10

Hm. try this.

@CAROLINE 2 stands screen right in zone 1 AND CAROLINE 2 faces right AND CAROLINE 2 is drink

@CAROLINE 2 moves at layer 0

@pause for a beat

I found out the problem!

was it the animation or layer?

13

She didn’t have a spot directing code, just screen right. And the script got confused.

14
