@Dara.Amarie how do I exactly blend the mirror overlay with my shadow beast overlay like he’s in the mirror

Hi again. Need some help. How do I get the background to change “behind my character”? Like, if my character’s standing in the living room posing and I want to keep her where she’s standing in that position, with that pose, but with a different background (a concert, actually) how do I do that? I have literally no goddamn idea lol.

You need to use “does it while” instead of “is” when you want a character to walk while doing an animation

You need to create the overlay in the scene first

Remove the whole line between then

}
“Be mad” {

How is it not working

The door needs to be an overlay where the window part is cutout and transparent

Change the background and place your character in the exact same position while doing the same animation.

Or a more complicated way is to turn the background into a PNG image then upload it as an overlay. Then just add the background overlay to the scene

Show everything inside that choice please

I fixed it I just forgot the } after the choice.
Thanks for helping me <3

What’s wrong with this?

“Go and tell the truth” {
“Leave it be and let Shadow control your life” {

Are these 2 choices paired?

If they are then you need to remove the word choice that’s right before the “leave it be” option and then add an ending bracket to close off the “tell the truth” option

The window is a overlay

How can u make the window transparent

@Dara.Amarie Can i please get help fast?

Is there a animation in ink where i can get the MC’s mother to carry cupcakes when the cupcakes is an overlay?

Yes, it is

Can I can make choices in the choice?
