Hii guys!
I’m new to this and have a problem.
I get the ERROR: Expected CHARACTER or SCENE change. Found " | CAMILLE_PYJAMA (yawn_bored)" instead. Did you forgot to CAPITALIZE the name, or close the ( ) around the animation?

Here’s my text:

INT. BLACK - NIGHT
NARRATOR
Episode 1 - The Story Begins

INT. TEEN SISTER’S BEDROOM - DAY

@CAMILLE_PYJAMA enters from right to screen right

| CAMILLE_PYJAMA (yawn_bored)
I’m so tired.

| CAMILLE_PYJAMA (scream)
****! I’m almost to late. I have to get dressed.

@CAMILLE_PYJAMA exits right

Cut the “|” and see if it works.

@…enters
@…faces

Character (scream)

You are using behaviour instead of talk

@… is yawn_bored

Character (talk_exhausted)
…

Is your characters name CAMILLE_PYJAMA???

That’s just an outfit name I’m guessing?

You just use the script name and if you want them to change you do @CHARACTER changes into OUTFIT.

Also get rid of the |
