Okay I know how I want to start my story, it starts in a car with the main character and her mom and sister. So how do I start that at the beginning of the story?
Use a looping background. Find the car overlay you want and add that to the scene and place it where you want it to be placed. Use this guide: A Guide to Using & Animating OVERLAYS
Then place your characters in the car. Use this guide: Spot Directing (Moving Characters Around)
Thank you.
Is the “ok” overlay named TEXT2?
yes
Remove “and overlay TEXT2 create” from line 1106
yes
Hey dara I needed help with coding an animated intro
So basically I will have 2-3 overlays and I want it to look like the tears are streaming down the eyes, like a gif or animation?
2) also I have another question can I make an overlay
Invisible and than partly visible than viable
Like a smooth opacity transition? Idk I hope u understand what I mean?
*visible
Hey! Not sure if this has already been asked on this thread (& I’m sorry if it has!) but how would I go about coding so the reader can type in their own name?
Place your overlays where you want them and to make a tear fall down, shift it lower on the screen.
To make an overlay invisible or see through, you have to play around with opacity.

I’m trying to add people walking by and maybe standing in one of the zones etc and I can’t seem to get past an error.
&BRIDGET spot 0.902 153 189 in zone 1 at layer -2 AND BRIDGET faces right
&AARON spot 0.677 138 206 in zone 1 at layer -1 AND AARON faces right
&BARM enters from right in zone 1 at layer -5 AND BARM exits left
&pan to zone 3 in 4
&AARON walks to spot 0.677 138 206 in zone 3 in 4
@BRIDGET walks to spot 0.902 153 189 in zone 3 in 4 AND BRIDGET does it while walk_talk_happy
Also, If I wanted people to be stand in zone 2 by a store where would I put them?
&BARM enters from right in zone 1 at layer -5 AND BARM moves to layer 5 THEN BARM exits left
You cannot add the zone and layer to an “enters” command.
Just place them in a spot in zone 2 wherever you want them to be placed.

Thanks. I wanted the character to just kind of walking by the other direction as they are walking. Would that still work?
I can’t seem to get the pan to stop in zone 2 to place characters and my BARM is not appearing at all.

@EXTRAF spot 0.740 28 294 in zone 2 at layer 4 AND EXTRAF faces right AND EXTRAM spot 0.758 87 287 in zone 2 at layer 5 I had to spot help in zone 3 then change them to 2 now they are in position somewhat but in front of main characters
&pan to zone 3 in 4

So I need a little help getting my characters to move with the background also moving I am using the fashion hallway loop and want my character to walk to the right with the loop then have the loop stop and change the background to the fashion hallway that isn’t a loop anymore. @Dara.Amarie if you could help that would be fantastic.
how do you make the scene start while characters starts walking? Using same script above minus the @BARM since I couldn’t get him to appear in the scene. Scene starts and they just stand there for a few seconds before they start walking.
Im having trouble with the whole script instead of people they show up in bubbles and when I put in commands they only show up on the sides.
