What’s the difference between the
and the
&CHAR
?
you use @ to have a character do something like-
@CHARACTER walks to spot xyz in 2
@CHARACTER is arms_crossed
But when you write it like this
&CHARACTER walks to spot xyz in 2
@CHARACTER is arms_crossed
The action walking and arms_crossed will happen with each other as in the character will walk to spot xyz while doing the animation arms_crossed
Hope this makes some sense…
Hi.
I’ll reference back to an old post of mine for this.
The difference between & and @ is basically time
@ has it, while & doesn’t.
& will tell the SE automatically continue into the next line in the script without any pause, no matter what comes after, dialouge or animation or a written pause. This means that when you tell a character to walk somewhere or do something, ex an animation by using the & sign you needs to add a pause for how long you want the SE to stop reading your script

“@” is used to make a command happen
“&” is used when you want a command to happen simultaneously while other commands are happening.
“@“ = the next command will not happen until the current command has finished
@CHAR1 is laugh_giggle
@CHAR2 is cheer_loop
“&” = the next command will happen while the current command is happening.
&CHAR1 is laugh_giggle
@CHAR2 is cheer_loop
Thanks this was so helpful
Ok thanks
You’re welcome.
Sorry if it was a bit vague (to put it mildly) it was all I had time for at the time
More about having pause when using &, I guess, with half of it missing in the quote…
Dara’s explenation’s much better.
Happy coding.
