Directing help please "

So, i’d like to have the car in a specific postition like in the coding i’ve done but the car doesn’t start in that position and you can see it move to position when you tap for the next line code when previewing. Also, I can’t get my character to be in the car let alone even appear on screen, already in the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EXT. NYC CITY STREET - DAY with CAR FRONT PURPLE in zone 1

@overlay CAR FRONT PURPLE shifts to -210 -4 in zone 1
@overlay CAR FRONT PURPLE scales to 0.830 0.830

are there any commands before the positioning of the overlay? also you can spot position the character behind the car, at a lower layer.

EXT. NYC CITY STREET - DAY with CAR FRONT PURPLE to 0.830 -210 -4 in zone 1 at layer 2
&CHARACTER spot % x y in zone 1 AND CHARACTER moves to layer 1

Thank you so much, it finally works now.
This sounds silly but what do I actually put in: &CHARACTER spot % x y in zone 1
for the percentage? and x y?

Ill definately try that out thank you :smile:

So i put this in:
XT. NYC CITY STREET - DAY with CAR FRONT PURPLE to 0.830 -210 -4 in zone 1 at layer 2

&READER spot 1.138 231 -112 in zone 1 AND READER at layer -3

The second line doesn’t seem to work

Remove “AND READER” from that line
